KP3802-3/8 - Lincoln Electric CarbonElite Flat Gouging Carbons 3/8 x 5/32 - 50 Pack

High-Efficiency Metal Removal with CarbonElite

The Lincoln Electric CarbonElite Flat Gouging Electrodes (KP3802-3/8) represent the pinnacle of air carbon arc gouging technology. Engineered for industrial professionals who demand precision and consistency, these electrodes are manufactured from a proprietary synthetic graphite composition. This high-density formula ensures elevated mechanical strength, significantly reducing the likelihood of breakage during operation while extending the overall life of the consumable. The 3/8-inch by 5/32-inch flat profile is specifically designed for applications requiring close tolerance metal removal, allowing operators to create uniform rectangular groove profiles with exceptional control.

Crucial to the performance of the CarbonElite series is the full copper coating applied to each electrode. This coating serves a dual purpose: it enhances electrical conductivity for superior arc stability and aids in heat dissipation. By generating less heat during the gouging process, these electrodes maintain a controlled melt-off rate, which is essential for achieving smooth, consistent grooves without irregular edges. This thermal efficiency not only improves the quality of the work but also contributes to the longevity of the torch and consumables.

These flat electrodes are versatile tools suitable for a wide range of semi-automatic and automatic applications. Whether the task involves removing weld crowns, scarfing, or preparing joints with shallow to medium depth grooves, the CarbonElite flat carbons deliver reliable performance. The consistent diameter and density ensure that automated systems can feed the electrode smoothly, minimizing downtime and maximizing throughput in high-volume fabrication environments.

Each package contains 50 electrodes, each measuring 12 inches in length. The standardized sizing and rigorous quality control processes employed by Lincoln Electric guarantee that every electrode in the box performs identically to the last, providing the predictability required for critical industrial maintenance and fabrication tasks.
