Lincoln Electric has launched a product line of premium arc gouging carbon electrodes. The CarbonElite™ Arc Gouging Carbons are made of a proprietary composition to deliver consistent, high efficiency metal removal.

The CarbonElite arc gouging product line offers four types of carbons for use in numerous semi-automatic or automatic applications:

• Pointed: Versatile multi-purpose round gouging electrode.
• Jointed: Round electrode with male and female ends to eliminate stub loss.
• Flat: Rectangle shape for close-tolerance metal removal and/or to create rectangle grooves.
• Hollow: Round electrode with hollow core to allow faster travel speeds without sacrificing groove depth.

CarbonElite electrodes are ideal for a variety of fabrication applications including the removal of defective welds, preparing joints for welding, severing, pad washing and beveling. They offer distinct performance advantages:

• Consistent melt-off rate: Optimized composition maximizes metal removal while maintaining an efficient melt-off rate to control usage.
• Excellent arc stability:  Dense copper coating provides consistent conductivity for smoother, more uniform groove profiles.
• Controlled heat generation: Unique graphite and copper composition helps control heat generation to limit inefficient melt off rates, which in-turn can lower costs.
