Air Arc Gouging

The intense electric arc used between the tip of a carbon electrode and a metal work piece cuts and melts the work piece.

Air arc gouging.

A high grade all purpose copperclad pointed gouging electrode. Arcair and slice products are synonymous with the air carbon arc gouging and exothermic cutting processes. An electric arc is generated between the tip of a carbon electrode and the workpiece. Thus the open circuit voltage should be at least 60 volts.

Carbon rods and plate. Air arc gouging torch 600 amp. Its controlled copper coating improves electrical conductivity for more efficient cooler operation and helps maintain electrode diameter at the point of the arc. The process is simple to apply using the same equipment as mma welding has a high metal.

Air carbon arc gouging is a process of removing metal by means of heat generated from a carbon arc. Air arc gouging torches are available in 600 1000 or 1200 amp options and we also stock gouging carbons in all diameters for every type of application. Manual torches cables and holders.

The arc voltage used in air carbon arc gouging and cutting ranges from a low of 35 to a high of 56 volts. Air carbon arc cutting also referred to as metal arc gouging and previously as air arc cutting is an arc cutting process where metal is cut and melted by the heat of a carbon arc. Molten metal is then removed by a blast of air it employs a consumable carbon or graphite electrode to melt the material which is then blown away by an air jet. The process uses a carbon graphite electrode compressed air and a standard power source.
