DC Pointed Gouging Carbon Rods Copper Coated Graphite Electrodes for Hard Surface Metal Removal Description:
The DC pointed gouging carbon rods are designed for precise hard surface metal removal, weld defect repair, and groove preparation in carbon arc gouging applications. Featuring a pointed design, these copper-coated graphite electrodes offer concentrated arc performance, improved gouging accuracy, and efficient metal removal in demanding welding operations.
Manufactured from premium graphite with durable copper coating, the pointed carbon gouging electrodes provide high conductivity, excellent heat resistance, and low consumption during continuous use. They are widely used in steel fabrication, hardfacing repair, foundries, shipbuilding, and industrial maintenance for removing excess metal, defective welds, and hard surface deposits.
