Arcair Exothermic Cutting Rods 22in Pack

Arcair 42049003 exothermic cutting rods are flux-coated consumables for air carbon arc cutting and gouging. The 22-inch length suits bridge construction, industrial fabrication, mining, repair and steel erection. Each pack contains 100 rods for high-volume metal removal tasks.

Flux Coating Ignition and One-Piece Build

The flux coating sustains the burn once ignited without constant electrical power, simplifying start-up on site. Patented one-piece construction maintains the balance required for a stable exothermic reaction. Improper storage that allows moisture into the flux can cause erratic ignition or premature rod consumption.

Air Carbon Arc Process Limits

The air carbon arc process removes metal by melting it with an arc and blowing the molten pool away with compressed air. Cutting speed and depth depend on available compressed-air pressure and operator technique rather than the rod alone. The process is not suited for precision cuts or non-conductive materials.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the flux-coated rods sustain the exothermic reaction after ignition?

Once ignited, the patented one-piece construction maintains the balance needed to sustain the burn without constant electrical power.

What comes in the package and what extra items are required for air carbon arc cutting?

The pack contains 100 flux-coated rods, each 22 in long with a 1/4 in outside diameter; a compatible air carbon arc torch and compressed air supply must be purchased separately.

Which rod length and diameter should I select for bridge construction and general fabrication?

The 22 in length and 1/4 in diameter are the only size offered in this pack, suited to the listed applications.
