Description
The 16mm gouging carbon electrodes (5/8″ x 14″) offer excellent performance and durability for heavy-duty air carbon arc gouging. Whether you’re working in shipbuilding, fabrication, mining, or plant maintenance, these electrodes are designed to remove metal with high precision and minimal surface damage.
Constructed from premium-grade graphite and coated in pure copper, the 16mm gouging carbon electrodes maintain a stable arc while resisting wear and heat. The copper coating not only improves conductivity but also reduces oxidation, ensuring a clean cut and longer electrode lifespan. This leads to increased efficiency and reduced electrode changeover.
These jointed electrodes are compatible with a wide variety of gouging torches and operate best with direct current (DC). Their 355mm (14″) length and 16mm (5/8″) diameter are ideal for applications requiring deeper, cleaner grooves or extensive material removal. You can rely on them for tasks such as weld defect removal, back gouging, and surface preparation prior to welding.
Many professionals trust these electrodes due to their consistent performance and cost-effectiveness. For best results, pair them with one of our gouging torches for a seamless workflow. Our product team also recommends using appropriate personal protective equipment during gouging, such as face shields and gloves, available in our PPE section.
