8599.3655S - Josef G200S 3.2mm Chamfering and Gouging Stick Electrode 20kg

High-Performance Metal Removal Solution

The Josef G200S Gouging Electrode is a premium consumable designed for the rapid removal of metal, preparation of weld grooves, and elimination of defects such as cracks and porosity. Engineered for versatility and efficiency, this 3.2mm electrode allows operators to gouge, groove, chamfer, and pierce a wide variety of metals—including mild steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys—without the need for supplementary compressed air or oxygen. This makes it an indispensable tool for field repairs, maintenance operations, and workshops where portability is key.

Packaged in a substantial 20kg box, the G200S is built for high-volume industrial environments. The electrode features a specialized coating that, upon striking an arc, creates a powerful exothermic reaction. This reaction not only melts the base material rapidly but also generates a high-velocity jet of gas that effectively blows the molten metal away from the work area. The result is a clean, smooth U-groove that is often ready for re-welding with minimal post-process grinding. Whether you are correcting weld profiles or removing old, fatigued metal, the Josef G200S delivers consistent performance.

Unlike carbon arc gouging which requires a separate air supply and specific torch, the Josef G200S works with standard SMAW (stick) welding power sources. It operates effectively on both AC and DC+ currents, providing flexibility depending on the available equipment. This ease of use reduces setup time and equipment costs, allowing welders to switch from welding to gouging simply by changing the electrode and adjusting amperage. For heavy-duty maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) tasks, the Josef G200S stands out as a reliable and aggressive metal removal tool.
