Carbon Arc DC Gouging Rods – 9.5mm (50/Pkt)
Premium Copper-Coated DC Carbon Gouging Electrodes for Fast, Clean Metal Removal
Product Overview
These 9.5mm Carbon Arc Gouging Rods are precision-engineered electrodes designed for DC (Direct Current) air carbon arc gouging applications. Supplied in a convenient pack of 50, these rods deliver consistent arc stability, fast gouging speeds, and smooth, clean cuts across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Ideal for fabrication shops, shipyards, foundries, welding repair, and heavy industrial maintenance work.
Key Features
- Diameter: 9.5mm — suited for medium-duty gouging, groove preparation, and metal removal tasks
- Polarity: DC (Direct Current) — designed specifically for DC power sources for a stable, focused arc
- Copper Coating: Electrolytically copper-coated for improved electrical conductivity, reduced rod consumption, and extended arc life
- Pack Size: 50 rods per packet — bulk-friendly for continuous production and workshop use
- Smooth Gouging Action: Produces clean, uniform grooves with minimal splatter and slag adherence
- High Current Carrying Capacity: Withstands high amperage without excessive rod wear or breakage
- Consistent Arc Performance: Uniform carbon core composition ensures predictable, repeatable gouging results
Common Applications
- Removing defective welds and root pass back-gouging
- Preparing weld joints (U-groove and J-groove preparation)
- Cutting, beveling, and piercing steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous metals
- Removing rivets, bolts, and damaged sections during metal fabrication
- Scarfing surface defects on castings and forgings
- Shipbuilding, structural steel work, pipeline fabrication, and heavy equipment repair
Why Choose These Gouging Rods?
Carbon arc gouging with copper-coated DC rods is one of the fastest and most efficient methods for metal removal compared to grinding or oxy-fuel gouging. The copper coating minimizes rod burn-off, improves current flow, and helps maintain a stable arc even under high-amperage conditions — reducing downtime and increasing productivity on the shop floor.
