ARC GOUGING

Carbon arc gouging is a process that is frequently used in many welding applications, both in the shop and out in the field, when the goal is to clean the metal on a workpiece.

Gouging may be required to complete a particular kind of weld for the weld joint design.

When attempting to remove material in order to reach clean metal, gouging is required for numerous welding-related tasks.
