Arc Air Gouging

Arc air gouging, also known as air carbon arc gouging, air arc cutting or exothermic cutting, is a highly efficient metal removal process used in welding, fabrication, and metalworking industries. With its intense heat and compressed air flow, arc air gouging effectively removes weld defects, excess metal, and prepares edges for welding applications. This versatile technique is suitable for various metals, including carbon steel, stainless steel, cast iron, and non-ferrous alloys. However, it is crucial to prioritise safety measures and wear proper personal protective equipment (PPE) due to the intense heat, arc radiation, and sparks involved.
