DC Jointed Gouging Carbon Rod Graphite Arc Gouging Electrodes for Welding Cutting Description:
The copper-coated jointed gouging carbon rods are designed for efficient metal removal, weld defect repair, and groove preparation in arc gouging applications. These graphite arc gouging electrodes feature a hollow type structure that provides stable arc performance, smooth gouging action, and high conductivity during welding and cutting operations.
Made from high-quality graphite with durable copper coating, the arc gouging carbon electrodes offer excellent heat resistance, reduced consumption, and reliable performance. They are widely used in steel fabrication, foundries, shipbuilding, and industrial maintenance for gouging, cutting, and weld seam removal.
A Jointable hollow Gouging Carbon Rods used for arc gouging includes one or more hollow carbon rods jointed together end-to-end. The hollow design allows the electric current to be directed to and concentrated on the outside diameter of the rod. This allows for a more efficient removal of metal, resulting in significantly faster material removal. Since the rods are jointable, the arc gouging process can continue for a longer period of time.
Advantage:
50% + Faster Compared to Solid DC Copper Rods
Excellent Arc Stability on All Metals
Maximize Productivity by Removing More Metal per Man-hour
Reduced Slag, Machine-Like Grooves
Doesn’t Stick or Sputter
Creates Smooth Accelerated Gouging

DC Jointed Air Carbon Arc Gouging Application:
Our hollow gouging electrodes are made for use on any type of gouging torch connected to a DC power supply and compressed air source.
- Gouging, cutting, piercing, and Flushing
- Removing old welds
- Cleaning & repairing castings
- Rough machining
Electrodes contain a precisely formulated blend of carbon and graphite that produces the most efficient metal removal, with lower smoke levels, while maintaining uniform diameter and machine-like grooves with reduced slag.
| Typical Electrode Diameter | Current “A” Settings |
| 4.8mm – 3/16″ | 250 |
| 6.4mm – 1/4″ | 275 |
| 7.9mm – 5/16″ | 350 |
| 9.5mm – 3/8″ | 425 |
| 12.7mm – 1/2″ | 550 |
Amperage Required:
Depends on the electrode diameter; an electrode is usually selected to make grooves or cuts slightly larger than its diameter.
Rod Selection Facts:
Arc Current: rod dia. mm x (40-50)
Width of Groove: rod dia. x 1.4
Depth of Groove: rod dia. x 0.7
