Lincoln KP3801 CarbonElite™ Hollow Gouging Electrodes (50 Pack)


ELITE PERFORMANCE

 

CarbonElite™ arc gouging carbon electrodes are made of proprietary composition to deliver high efficiency metal removal. The copper coated carbon's offer excellent arc stability and generate less heat for a controlled melt off rate. Available in pointed, jointed, flat and hollow electrode types for use in numerous semi-automatic or automatic applications. 

  • Premium synthetic graphite composition extends electrode life to maximize metal removal
  • Full copper coating improves arc stability and reduces heat generation 
  • Consistent melt-off rate for smooth, uniform grooves
  • High density formula increases durability 

 

Typical Applications:

  • Removing defective welds
  • Removing surface welds for re-surfacing
  • Preparing joints for welding
  • Backgouging base material to allow for a full penetration weld deposit
