Carbon arc gouging for removing defective welds, preparing joints for welding, back-gouging, beveling, and metal severing. Ideal for structural steel, heavy fabrication, pipe, pressure vessels, and maintenance/repair work where faster gouging speed is needed without sacrificing groove quality.
- Hollow core design — faster travel speed without sacrificing groove depth
- Dense copper coating improves arc stability and reduces heat generation
- Optimized composition maximizes metal removal with efficient melt-off rate
- High mechanical strength — less prone to cracking or breaking under heavy use
- Consistent conductivity for smooth, uniform groove profiles
- Available in 3/16 in (KP3801-3/16) and 1/4 in (KP3801-1/4) sizes
