  • MaterialGraphite, Copper, Carbon
  • TypeCopperclad Jointed
  • Copperclad jointed design improves conductivity for stable arcs
  • Graphite-carbon core delivers consistent metal removal in air carbon arc gouging
  • Pointed copper-coated tip concentrates current for precise cutting starts
  • 150 A maximum current rating supports heavy-duty industrial applications
  • Pack of 50 electrodes ensures extended workflow without frequent reordering

What This Electrode Does

The Arcair Copperclad gouging electrode is built for air carbon arc cutting and gouging. It suits maintenance crews, fabricators and welders who need to remove defective welds or prepare joints. The copper coating protects the graphite core and helps carry up to 150 A. It is not for buyers who want a filler rod for deposition welding.

Critical Specification

Maximum current is 150 A on DCEP polarity. Exceeding that rating will overheat the carbon core and degrade cut quality. The 5/32 in diameter and 12 in length match standard CAC-A torches. Select a different diameter if your application requires a wider or narrower groove.

Heat, Noise and Power

The arc generates intense local heat and loud noise; wear appropriate hearing and eye protection. Power draw follows the 150 A DCEP setting on your supply. The copper cladding reduces electrode consumption so fewer changeovers are needed during long gouging runs.

Questions about this item

How does the 150 A maximum current affect performance in an air carbon arc gouging setup?

The 150 A rating sets the upper limit for the power source; running at or near this value gives the fastest metal removal rate the 5/32 in electrode can sustain.

What does the DCEP current designation mean for the power supply connection?

DCEP requires the electrode holder on the positive terminal and the workpiece on the negative terminal; reversing polarity will cause unstable arc and excessive electrode wear.

Will the 12 in overall length fit a standard air carbon arc torch?

Yes, the 12 in length matches the common torch body cavity; the 5/32 in diameter seats in standard collets without modification.
