Overview
The Weldmark WMK2204-3003 is a standard, all-purpose gouging electrode designed for air carbon-arc cutting and metal removal applications. This 1/4″x12″ Type DCCC (Direct Current Electrode Negative, Pointed) copper-coated electrode comes packaged in a box of 50 units. The Weldmark WMK2204-3003 combines proven electrode technology with a controlled copper coating to ensure efficient operation across a variety of industrial cutting and gouging tasks.
Key Features
- Controlled copper coating improves electrical conductivity for efficient, cooler operation
- Carbon-graphite blend formulation for consistent metal removal rates
- Maintains electrode diameter at the point of the arc for uniform performance
- Type DCCC design suitable for direct current electrode negative (DCEN) applications
- 1/4″ diameter x 12″ length provides standard sizing for common gouging torches
- Box of 50 electrodes for extended operational use
