Ten copper-coated carbon electrodes 3/16 inch diameter 12 inches long

Value Brand

Value Brand Gouging Carbon Electrode 3/16" Dia. PK10

SKU CH-6455-9ZQCQ

Pack of ten 12-inch carbon electrodes with copper coating for air carbon arc gouging at up to 250 A

  • Product typeWelding Supplies
  • Pointed tip starts the arc quickly
  • Copper coating improves current flow and reduces wear
  • 3/16 in diameter fits standard air carbon arc torches
  • 12 in length gives extended reach for deep gouges
  • Rated for 250 A maximum current on DCEP polarity

Carbon Electrodes for Air Carbon Arc Gouging

This pack contains ten copper-coated carbon steel electrodes designed for air carbon arc cutting and gouging processes. Each electrode measures 3/16 inch in diameter and 12 inches in overall length. They are rated for a maximum current of 250 amps using DCEP polarity. The pointed shape supports precise material removal and groove preparation.

Replaces Worn Gouging Electrodes During Heavy Use

The jump is worth it when existing electrodes have burned down, lost their copper coating or no longer maintain a stable arc at required amperage. Fresh electrodes restore consistent metal removal rates and reduce the risk of carbon contamination in the weld zone. A full pack ensures uninterrupted work on large gouging jobs or multi-shift operations.

Verify Machine Amperage and Holder Compatibility

Confirm the power source can deliver up to 250 amps on DCEP polarity for air carbon arc processes. Ensure the electrode holder accepts a 3/16 inch diameter rod and provides adequate cooling for sustained high-current use. Check ventilation and personal protective equipment requirements for carbon arc gouging fumes.

Questions about this item

What holder size fits the 3/16 in outside diameter?

Use a standard air carbon arc torch with a 3/16 in electrode holder; the pointed tip seats directly in the collet.

How do I install the electrode and what step is often missed?

Insert the copper coated carbon steel rod into the torch collet, tighten firmly, and set the machine to DCEP polarity before striking the arc.

When will I need to replace the electrode during gouging?

Replace each 12 in rod once it burns down to the holder or when the copper coating wears enough to cause unstable arc at 250 A.
