Arcair 2298-3003 Pointed Copperclad Gouging Electrode Dc

Product Description

The ARCAIR 2298-3003 is a pointed, copperclad flat gouging electrode engineered for the air carbon-arc process. Measuring 5/32 inch in diameter and 12 inches in length, it is built from a precisely formulated blend of carbon and graphite. The controlled copper coating improves electrical conductivity, supporting cooler and more efficient operation while maintaining consistent electrode diameter at the point of the arc. This electrode runs on DC current and is designed for professional-grade metal removal, scarfing, and gouging work performed by welders and metalworking tradespeople in fabrication, repair, and maintenance settings.

The 2298-3003 is suited for close-tolerance metal removal and scarfing applications across a wide range of ferrous and non-ferrous base metals. Common tasks include removing weld crowns, repairing or fabricating dies, removing temporary welded dogs, and scarfing billets. Its uniform diameter and consistent arc performance make it a reliable choice for both production environments and field repair work where precise metal removal is required.

Key Features

• Pointed copperclad design maintains consistent electrode diameter at the arc contact point
• Precise blend of carbon and graphite formulated for efficient metal removal
• Controlled copper coating enhances electrical conductivity for cooler operation
• DC operation supports stable arc performance during gouging and scarfing
• Suitable for removing weld crowns, repairing dies, and scarfing billets
• Designed specifically for the air carbon-arc gouging process

Compatibility

Designed for use with air carbon-arc gouging equipment that accepts 5/32 inch pointed copperclad electrodes operating on DC current.

Installation Notes

Installation and use of carbon-arc gouging electrodes should be performed by qualified welders or metalworking professionals familiar with air carbon-arc equipment. Ensure the gouging torch, air supply, and power source are properly matched to the electrode diameter before starting work. Always follow appropriate personal protective equipment requirements including eye protection rated for arc work, and ensure adequate ventilation to manage fumes and smoke generated during gouging. Consult the equipment manufacturer guidelines and applicable workplace safety codes before use.
