The groove width obtained will be approximately 3mm wider than the carbon size. The gouging action occurs when the arc is struck, removing molten metal as the electrode is moved along the workpiece. A slow travel speed produces a deep groove, a fast travel speed produces a shallow groove. The air flow must be turned on before gouging commences. The operator must ensure that adequate eye (shade 12-14), ear and clothing protection is worn.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eNotes on Usage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cul data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFast, Clean, Smooth, hassle-free Gouging\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAble to remove metal from a wide range of common ferrous \u0026amp; non-ferrous metals\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eDesigned for DC Operation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eSuperior arc stability\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eConditioning Data\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIf carbons are damp, they should be re-dried at 180°C for 10 hours, otherwise they may shatter.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHigh Efficiency Gouging Carbons\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eArc-air’s high efficiency gouging carbon takes carbon technology and performance to a new level. Formulated with a reduced carbon content and increased copper coating they can carry a current up to 800 amps (an increased carrying capacity of 25%) while giving up to 10% greater metal removal. The improved outer strength of these carbons allows for additional stick out length and the fluted exterior adds to the improved current flow and carrying capacity.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMinimum Sell Quantity: 1 EACH\u003cbr\u003eOrder Quantity Multiple: 1 EACH\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe images shown are for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CIGWELD","offers":[{"title":"5.0mm","offer_id":48935788609787,"sku":"C5-0","price":16.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5.0mm Flat","offer_id":48935788642555,"sku":"CF515","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6.5mm","offer_id":48935788675323,"sku":"C6-5","price":26.49,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"8.5mm","offer_id":48935788708091,"sku":"C8-0","price":35.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"9.5mm","offer_id":48935788740859,"sku":"C10-0","price":29.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true},{"title":"13.0mm","offer_id":48935788773627,"sku":"C13-0","price":78.13,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0645\/5754\/7771\/files\/22075003_Main.png?v=1783377555"}],"url":"https:\/\/engsupply.com.au\/collections\/gouging-carbons\/cigweld.oembed","provider":"Eng Supply store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
