Platinum WC-00248100 100pc 3/16″ Standard Round DC Carbon Gouging Rods

The Platinum WC-00248100 100pc 3/16″ Standard Round DC Carbon Gouging Rods are designed for controlled air-arc gouging and cutting where accuracy and clean metal removal are important. With a 3/16″ diameter, these standard round DC carbon rods are suited for lighter-duty gouging applications on steel and other metals that require narrower grooves and better control. They are used with a DC welding power source and an air-arc gouging torch with compressed air to melt and remove metal efficiently. This size is a practical choice for weld removal, defect correction, edge preparation, and repair work where larger gouging rods would remove too much material.

Manufactured with a 95% graphite composition and a 5% copper coating, these gouging rods are built for conductivity, consistent arc performance, and dependable wear resistance in daily shop use. The copper coating helps improve electrical efficiency and supports smoother operation, while the high graphite content helps deliver reliable performance during repeated gouging work. Their smaller diameter makes them especially useful for repair shops, fabrication work, automotive service, and maintenance tasks where controlled material removal matters. Packed in a 100-piece box, the WC-00248100 gives shops and welders a practical supply of DC carbon gouging rods for detailed work and routine metal removal applications.
