22063003HC - Arcair CutSkill 3/8" x 12" Hollow Gouging Electrodes

Efficient Metal Removal with Arcair CutSkill Hollow Carbons

The Arcair 22063003HC CutSkill Hollow Carbons are engineered for the demanding environment of industrial metal preparation and repair. These 3/8-inch by 12-inch electrodes are designed for the air carbon arc gouging process, a method widely used for removing old welds, preparing joints for welding, and severing metal. As part of the CutSkill line, these carbons provide a cost-effective solution without compromising the essential performance characteristics required by professional fabricators.

What sets these electrodes apart is their hollow core design. Unlike solid carbons, hollow carbons are often preferred for specific applications where a consistent travel speed and uniform groove depth are critical. The hollow geometry can help stabilize the arc and improve the ejection of molten metal when used with the appropriate air stream. Coated in a high-quality copper layer, these rods ensure optimal electrical conductivity, reducing resistance and heat buildup at the torch jaws, which prolongs the life of your equipment.

These carbons are suitable for use on a variety of metals, including mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and copper alloys. They are an essential consumable for maintenance, repair, and operations (MRO) departments, shipyards, and heavy fabrication shops. When paired with a suitable power source and compressed air supply, Arcair CutSkill carbons deliver clean, smooth grooves that minimize the need for secondary grinding.
