Gouging is a process where an arc is established between a carbon rod and the metal to be gouged and the metal is melted. A steady flow of air is blown into that molten pool removing the molten metal. Increasing the amperage or slowing down the travel speed allows a deeper gouge. Speeding up the travel speed or decreasing the amperage removes less metal. Copper coated carbon rods are used and are available in different diameters and shapes.

What is arc gouging?

Arc gouging is a metalworking process that uses a carbon electrode to create an electric arc, melting and removing metal from a workpiece. This technique is often employed for cutting, shaping, or repairing metals, particularly in welding and fabrication applications. The molten metal is ejected from the joint by a high-velocity airflow, allowing for precise control and effective removal of material. It is commonly used in industries such as shipbuilding, construction, and heavy manufacturing.

Which welding process required o2 gas?

Oxy-fuel welding is a welding process that requires O2 gas. It uses oxygen and a fuel gas, such as acetylene, to create a high-temperature flame for the welding process. The oxygen supports combustion and helps create the heat needed to weld the materials together.


What is gouging torch?

A gouging torch is a specialized tool used in welding and metalworking to cut and shape metal. It employs a high-temperature flame, often produced by mixing oxygen and a fuel gas, to melt the base metal and create a groove or gouge. This technique is commonly employed for removing welds, cutting thick steel, or preparing metal surfaces for further processing. Gouging torches are essential in industries that require precise metal fabrication and repair.
