An electric arc is generated between the tip of a carbon electrode and the workpiece.
Air arc gouging.
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 metal becomes molten and a high velocity air jet streams down the electrode to blow it away thus leaving a clean groove.
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.
Underwater cutting gouging and welding.
Thus the open circuit voltage should be at least 60 volts.
A high grade all purpose copperclad pointed gouging electrode.
Carbon rods and plate.
Manual torches cables and holders.
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.
Air carbon arc gouging works as follows.
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.
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 and slice products are synonymous with the air carbon arc gouging and exothermic cutting processes.
The process is simple to apply using the same equipment as mma welding has a high metal.
