There are three types of carbon electrodes:

AC coated electrodes (for use with AC power sources),

DC plain electrodes and

DC copper-coated electrodes.

The latter is most widely used because of their comparatively long electrode life, stable arc characteristics and groove uniformity.

This process is the best alternative to traditional gouging more particularly when precision and safety are priorities. With a removal capability of up to 8 kg/h, Plasma gouging improves operating conditions by reducing noise and fumes.

Using the same process as plasma cutting, it enables the removal of metal efficiently, precisely and cleanly.
