Arcair 22082003 Copper Welding Electrode 0.5in 14in 50 Pack

Product Description

The ARCAIR 22082003 is a DC copperclad pointed stick welding electrode designed for carbon arc gouging and cutting applications. Measuring 0.5 inches in diameter and 14 inches in length, this copper electrode delivers consistent arc performance and efficient metal removal. The copperclad construction provides good electrical conductivity and extended service life compared to uncoated carbon electrodes. Each package contains 50 electrodes, making it a practical stocking unit for shop or field use. Licensed welding professionals and metal fabricators working with DC arc gouging equipment will find this electrode suitable for standard gouging torch setups.

This electrode is suited for DC arc gouging operations on ferrous and non-ferrous base metals in both shop fabrication and field repair environments. The pointed tip geometry supports precise groove cutting, weld preparation, and defect removal. Applications include weld joint prep, casting repair, and general metal removal where a controlled gouge profile is needed. The 14-inch length and 0.5-inch diameter are common specifications for medium-duty gouging work on structural and industrial components.

Key Features

• DC copperclad construction for improved conductivity and electrode longevity
• Pointed tip geometry for precise arc gouging and groove cutting
• 0.5-inch diameter suits medium-duty gouging torch holders
• 14-inch length provides adequate electrode life per rod
• Sold in a 50-count package for convenient stocking and job-site supply

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement electrode for DC arc gouging torches that accept 0.5-inch diameter pointed copper electrodes.

Installation Notes

Installation and operation of arc gouging electrodes should be performed by qualified welders or metalworking professionals familiar with DC arc gouging equipment. Disconnect and lock out all power to the gouging unit before changing electrodes. Ensure the torch collet or holder is rated for the 0.5-inch diameter before inserting the electrode. Follow applicable AWS safety standards and facility hot-work permit procedures during gouging operations.
