Air Arc Gouging

A high grade all purpose copperclad pointed gouging electrode.

Air arc gouging.

Carbon rods and plate. Depending on the plasma system a number of different gases including air nitrogen oxygen an argon hydrogen mix and other combinations can be used when gouging with plasma arc. Jointed gouging carbon electrodes box of 100 from 69 95. Air carbon arc gouging is a process of removing metal by means of heat generated from a carbon arc.

Arcair invented arc gouging in 1949 and we ve been the leading name in metal. Gouging carbon electrodes box of 100 from 9 97. Thus the open circuit voltage should be at least 60 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.

Air arc gouging torch 600 amp. The intense electric arc used between the tip of a carbon electrode and a metal work piece cuts and melts the work piece. Manual torches cables and holders. Its controlled copper coating improves electrical conductivity for more efficient cooler operation and helps maintain electrode diameter at the point of the arc.

Slice cutting systems and rods. Arcair professional angle arc k4000 90 1000 amp arc gouging torch with 7 cable 360 swivel and insulated hook up kit. 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 arc voltage used in air carbon arc gouging and cutting ranges from a low of 35 to a high of 56 volts.

Arcair and slice products are synonymous with the air carbon arc gouging and exothermic cutting processes. For most applications cac a is used with dcep. The process uses a carbon graphite electrode compressed air and a standard power source. Underwater cutting gouging and welding.

An electric arc is generated between the tip of a carbon electrode and the workpiece. The process is simple to apply using the same equipment as mma welding has a high metal. Learn more about powermax plasma systems. Air carbon arc gouging works as follows.
