Arcair Gouging Electrode 50-pack
This pack contains fifty copper-clad carbon electrodes designed for air carbon arc cutting and gouging. Each electrode measures fourteen inches long with a half-inch diameter and a pointed tip. The product is intended for metal removal and weld preparation tasks in industrial maintenance and fabrication shops.
Install by fitting into a compatible torch
Insert the electrode into a torch rated for the diameter and secure it according to the torch manufacturer's instructions. Common issues include using a torch with an undersized collet, exceeding the electrode's current capacity, or failing to maintain adequate air pressure during operation.
Limited by air carbon arc process
The air carbon arc process removes metal by melting it with an arc and blowing it away with compressed air, which leaves a carbon-rich surface that must be cleaned before welding. The electrode is rated for a maximum current of one thousand amperes on DCEP polarity only. It is not suitable for plasma cutting, TIG welding, or applications requiring a contaminant-free surface.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the 1/2 in copperclad electrode is feeding correctly during air carbon arc gouging?
A steady, quiet arc at up to 1,000 A DCEP with smooth metal removal and minimal stub loss shows the 14 in electrode is working as intended.
What comes in the PK50 package and what must I supply separately?
The box contains fifty 1/2 in x 14 in copperclad pointed electrodes; you must provide the air carbon arc torch, compressed air source and DCEP power supply.
When should I choose the 1/2 in diameter over other sizes for heavy gouging?
Select the 1/2 in electrode when your DCEP machine can deliver up to 1,000 A and you need maximum metal removal per pass.
