  • TypeWelding Supplies
  • 10 electrodes per pack for extended gouging work
  • 3/8 inch diameter fits standard air carbon arc torches
  • 12 inch length gives good reach in tight joints
  • Copper coating improves current transfer up to 250 A
  • Carbon steel core withstands high heat during CAC-A cutting

Gouging Carbon Electrode 3/8" Pack

This pack contains ten copper-coated carbon steel electrodes for air carbon arc cutting and gouging. Each electrode measures twelve inches long with a three-eighths inch outside diameter. They are designed for DCEP current up to two hundred fifty amperes. The set suits maintenance, fabrication and repair workshops that need reliable gouging consumables.

Compatibility Check Before Ordering

Verify that your power source can deliver DCEP output at the required amperage for the electrode diameter. Confirm your air supply provides sufficient pressure and volume for the arc cutting process. Ensure your electrode holder accepts a three-eighths inch shank and that your workpiece material is suitable for carbon arc gouging.

Sustained Load Behaviour

Under continuous operation the copper coating helps maintain stable arc characteristics and consistent metal removal rates. The carbon steel core resists premature wear during extended gouging passes. Electrode consumption remains predictable when used within the rated current range, reducing the frequency of changeovers during long jobs.

Questions about this item

What comes in the pack and do I need to buy anything else to start gouging?

The pack contains ten pointed copper-coated carbon electrodes, each 3/8 in diameter and 12 in long; you will still need an air carbon arc torch and a compressed-air supply to use them.

How do I choose between the listed versions or capacities for this electrode?

This listing is a single specification — 3/8 in diameter, 250 A maximum current, DCEP polarity — so there are no alternative versions or capacities to select from.

What does the 250 A rating mean when I am actually running the electrode in a machine?

It indicates the maximum welding current the 3/8 in copper-coated carbon electrode can carry during air carbon arc cutting and gouging when the power source is set to DCEP polarity.
