What is a Gouging rod?

Gouging rods are carbon rods used for gouging using a welding machine, and are available for direct current and alternating current. Gouging here means that an arc is generated between a carbon gouging rod and a metal plate for the purpose of removing defective parts during welding, and at the same time, the metal centering on the defective parts is melted and the gouging rod is used. It refers to the mechanical removal of molten metal and the grooving of metal plates by a high-speed air jet that erupts along.

Application of Gouging rod

Gouging rods are used in the arc air method, in which molten metal made by melting a metal base material with an arc is blown off by a high-speed air jet to dig a groove. The main uses are for steel frames, bridges, shipbuilding, can manufacturing, etc., for chipping on the back of welds, groove removal, or defect chipping of welds, and for cutting hot water and sprue parts of castings. It may be used for welding or for chipping nests.
