ARC AIR GOUGING
Main menu → Process
With arc air gouging, a special electrode comprising a carbon rod with a copper casing is
used.
An arc is formed between the carbon rod and the workpiece, which melts the material. Air is
supplied so that the melted material is blown away.
The following electrode diameters can be selected for arc air gouging: 4.0, 5.0, 6.0, 8.0, 10
and 13 mm.
Arc air gouging is not recommended for power sources below 400 A.
