Air Carbon Arc Gouging

The Carbon Arc Gouging Process

Removing material through the use of mechanical means can be impractical when a large volume of material excavation needs to be performed. Delving out thick sections of material, long lengths of material, or both can take excessive amounts of time and increase costs as a result. Operator fatigue and time can both potentially be reduced by employing the carbon arc gouging process. Carbon arc gouging can very quickly eliminate unwanted material from the section being worked on through use of a carbon rod and compressed gas. Nearly any material that an electrical arc can be established on can be carbon arc gouged. This versatile process should be considered when any job requires great amounts of material removal.
