FILLER METALS ProStar Premium Quality Gouging Carbons ® ProStar premium quality carbon-arc gouging electrodes are ideal for a broad range of applications, such as creating U-grooves for weld joint preparations, removing old welds, gouging out cracks, cleaning and repairing castings, removing hard surface metal, and rough machining. Gouging electrodes are designed for the air carbon-arc metal removal process which melts metal with an electric arc then blows it away with a jet of ordinary shop-compressed air. Carbon and graphite ingredients are blended to provide arc stability regardless of current and heating, thus improving metal removal rates and slag-free grooves. Each electrode has a copper coating for high conductivity. ProStar DC Jointed Carbons Machined at each end to provide male and female fittings eliminates stub loss. This offers continuous electrode feed especially for semi-automatic and automatic torches. Part Number PRS2406-4003 PRS2408-4003 PRS2410-4003 PRS2412-4003 Size 3/8” x 17” (9.5 mm x 43.2 cm) 1/2” x 17” (12.7 mm x 43.2 cm) 5/8” x 17” (15.9 mm x 43.2 cm) 3/4” x 17” (19.1 mm x 43.2 cm) ProStar DC Pointed Carbons A standard all-purpose gouging electrode. Tightly controlled copper coating improves conductivity, providing a more efficient, cooler operation and helps maintain electrode diameter at the point of the arc.
