KP3800-3/8 - Lincoln CarbonElite 3/8 x 12 Pointed Gouging Carbons (50-Pack)

Maximize Metal Removal Efficiency with Lincoln CarbonElite

The Lincoln Electric KP3800-3/8 CarbonElite Pointed Gouging Electrodes are engineered for professionals who demand precision and performance in metal removal applications. These 3/8-inch by 12-inch electrodes are manufactured with a proprietary carbon composition designed to optimize the melt-off rate. This ensures that operators can remove more metal in less time while maintaining control over the gouging process. Whether you are removing faulty welds, preparing joints for re-welding, or backgouging base materials, these electrodes deliver consistent results that industrial environments require.

One of the standout features of the CarbonElite series is the dense copper coating applied to each rod. This coating is not merely cosmetic; it plays a critical role in electrical conductivity. By improving conductivity, the electrode maintains excellent arc stability, which results in smoother, more uniform groove profiles. Furthermore, the copper coating helps to dissipate heat more effectively. Excessive heat generation is a common cause of inefficient melt-off and premature rod degradation. By controlling heat buildup, these electrodes offer a more cost-effective solution for heavy-duty gouging tasks.

Durability is another key factor in the design of the KP3800-3/8. The high-density formula provides elevated mechanical strength, making the rods significantly less prone to cracking or breaking under the stress of operation. This reliability is essential in high-stakes industries such as shipbuilding, pressure vessel fabrication, and heavy equipment repair. Supplied in a convenient pack of 50, these pointed electrodes are a versatile choice for both manual and semi-automatic gouging torches, ensuring your team has the consumables needed to keep production moving efficiently.
