Copper-clad graphite welding electrode pointed tip 12 inch length

Arcair

Arcair 358-2202-3003 welding electrode 1/8X12 Dc/Cc

SKU CH-8Q3K-74HB0 MPN 358-2202-3003

Copper-clad graphite electrode for air carbon arc cutting and gouging at up to 90 A DCEP

  • Main materialGraphite, Copper, Carbon
  • Product typeCopperclad Jointed
  • Copperclad jointed design improves conductivity and arc stability
  • Graphite, copper, carbon blend resists wear during air carbon arc gouging
  • Pointed electrode shape focuses the arc for precise metal removal
  • Copper finish protects the core and maintains consistent current flow
  • Rated for 90 A maximum current on DCEP polarity

Arcair Copperclad Gouging Electrode

The Arcair 358-2202-3003 is a copperclad jointed electrode designed for air carbon arc cutting and gouging. It suits maintenance and fabrication workers who need a pointed tip for precise metal removal. The graphite, copper, and carbon construction supports the designated welding processes.

90 Amp Maximum Current Limit

This electrode carries a maximum current of 90 A and requires a DCEP welding current designation. Exceeding the rated amperage will degrade the copper coating and shorten electrode life. The 12 in overall length and 1/8 in diameter define the physical reach and material capacity for each rod.

Check Power Source Polarity And Process

Verify that your power source delivers DCEP polarity and can operate within the 90 A limit for air carbon arc gouging. Confirm the electrode holder accepts a 1/8 in diameter jointed rod. California Proposition 65 warns this product contains chemicals known to cause reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

What does the 1/8 in diameter and 12 in length mean for electrode selection?

The 1/8 in outside diameter and 12 in overall length fit standard air carbon arc torch holders and suit general-purpose gouging tasks.

What does the 90 A maximum current mean when the electrode is in use?

The 90 A rating is the upper limit for DCEP air carbon arc cutting; exceeding it can cause premature electrode wear or unstable gouging.

How does the DCEP designation affect the welding process?

DCEP means the electrode connects to the positive terminal, which is required for stable air carbon arc cutting and gouging with this copperclad jointed electrode.
