Air Arc Gouging

Air carbon arc gouging works as follows.

Air arc gouging.

Air carbon arc gouging is a process of removing metal by means of heat generated from 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. Arcair invented arc gouging in 1949 and we ve been the leading name in metal. Manual torches cables and holders.

Slice cutting systems and rods. 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. Thus the open circuit voltage should be at least 60 volts. The arc voltage used in air carbon arc gouging and cutting ranges from a low of 35 to a high of 56 volts.

Air arc gouging torch 600 amp. The process uses a carbon graphite electrode compressed air and a standard power source. Its controlled copper coating improves electrical conductivity for more efficient cooler operation and helps maintain electrode diameter at the point of the arc. For most applications cac a is used with dcep.

An electric arc is generated between the tip of a carbon electrode and the workpiece. Carbon rods and plate. Jointed gouging carbon electrodes box of 100 from 69 95. The actual arc voltage is governed by arc length and the type of gouging.

The metal becomes molten and a high velocity air jet streams down the electrode to blow it away thus leaving a clean groove. The process is simple to apply using the same equipment as mma welding has a high metal. Arcair professional angle arc k4000 90 1000 amp arc gouging torch with 7 cable 360 swivel and insulated hook up kit. The intense electric arc used between the tip of a carbon electrode and a metal work piece cuts and melts the work piece.

Underwater cutting gouging and welding. A high grade all purpose copperclad pointed gouging electrode. Gouging carbon electrodes box of 100 from 9 97. Arcair and slice products are synonymous with the air carbon arc gouging and exothermic cutting processes.
