Arcair 24064003 Copper Welding Electrode 3/8 in 17 in 100pk

Product Description

The ARCAIR 24064003 is a copper copperclad pointed stick welding electrode designed for DC arc gouging and cutting applications. Measuring 3/8 inches in diameter and 17 inches in length, this electrode delivers consistent arc performance and controlled material removal on ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The copperclad construction provides electrical conductivity and surface durability throughout the electrode's working life. Sold in a package of 100 electrodes, this SKU suits shop and field operations where high-volume gouge work demands reliable, uniform electrode stock. Licensed welders and metal fabricators working with arc gouging torches are the primary installers and users.

These electrodes are suited for DC arc gouging operations in structural fabrication, weld preparation, and repair work. The pointed tip geometry supports precise entry into base metal for back-gouging welds, removing defective weld material, and preparing joints for re-welding. They are commonly used in heavy fabrication shops, shipyards, pipeline work, and industrial maintenance environments where arc gouging torches are part of standard procedure.

Key Features

• 3/8 inches diameter for medium to heavy material removal
• 17 inches length provides extended reach and longer service life per electrode
• Copper copperclad construction for consistent conductivity and arc stability
• Pointed tip geometry supports precise gouging and back-gouging applications
• Package of 100 electrodes minimizes restocking frequency in high-volume operations
• DC-rated for use with standard arc gouging power sources

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement electrode for use with DC arc gouging torches that accept 3/8 inches diameter carbon electrodes in standard industrial and fabrication applications.

Installation Notes

Arc gouging electrodes are installed and operated by qualified welders and metal fabricators following applicable AWS and shop safety standards. Disconnect or de-energize the gouging torch before seating or replacing an electrode. Always use appropriate eye protection rated for arc gouging, and ensure adequate ventilation or fume extraction is in place before initiating the arc. Do not use these electrodes with AC power sources unless the torch and power supply are specifically rated for AC carbon arc gouging.
