Product Description
Achieve clean, fast, and precise metal removal with these premium Carbon Arc DC Gouging Rods, engineered for professional air carbon arc gouging (CAC-A) applications. Each rod measures 12.7mm (1/2 inch) in diameter and is supplied in a convenient pack of 50, making this an ideal bulk solution for fabrication shops, welding contractors, shipyards, foundries, and heavy industrial maintenance teams.
Manufactured with a high-purity graphite carbon core and a pure copper coating, these gouging rods deliver superior electrical conductivity, reduced rod wear, and a stable, concentrated arc for smooth gouging, cutting, piercing, and beveling of steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and other ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The copper cladding also minimizes overheating and extends usable rod life, reducing waste and operating costs.
Specifically formulated for DC (Direct Current) power sources, these rods are the go-to choice for:
- Weld defect removal and back-gouging of root passes
- Removing cracks, porosity, and old welds
- Cutting rivets, bolts, and scrap metal
- Beveling plate edges prior to welding
- General metal fabrication and repair work
