KP3800-3/16 - Lincoln CarbonElite 3/16" Pointed Gouging Carbons (50 Pack)

High-Efficiency Metal Removal with CarbonElite

The Lincoln Electric KP3800-3/16 CarbonElite Pointed Gouging Electrodes represent the pinnacle of air carbon arc gouging technology. Designed for industrial professionals who demand precision and efficiency, these electrodes are engineered with a proprietary carbon formulation that maximizes metal removal rates while maintaining a consistent melt-off. This balance is critical in heavy industrial applications such as mining, shipbuilding, and pressure vessel fabrication, where time and material costs are paramount. The 3/16-inch diameter is ideal for a wide range of gouging tasks, offering versatility in both manual and semi-automatic operations.

One of the standout technical features of the CarbonElite series is the high-density composition of the carbon rod itself. This elevated mechanical strength significantly reduces the likelihood of electrode breakage or cracking under thermal stress, a common issue with inferior gouging rods. Furthermore, the electrodes are encased in a dense copper coating. This coating serves a dual purpose: it enhances electrical conductivity for a smoother, more stable arc, and it helps dissipate heat more effectively. Reduced heat generation translates to a more controlled melt-off rate, preventing waste and ensuring that the electrode is consumed efficiently during the gouging process.

These pointed electrodes are specifically designed to create uniform groove profiles, making them excellent for preparing weld joints or removing defective welds with precision. The consistent performance of the CarbonElite electrodes ensures that operators can maintain high productivity levels without frequent interruptions caused by arc instability or rod failure. Packaged in a convenient 50-count box, the KP3800-3/16 ensures you have the necessary consumables on hand for extensive projects involving mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, or copper alloys.
