When using welding techniques to manufacture of metal structures, first you need to cut the metal to meet to the shape requirements, it is sometimes necessary to cut multiple slopes, then clean weld root and remove weld defects. Although the method of the metal cutting and gouging is different, application of heat of the arc cutting and gouging of metal has significant advantages. Carbon gouging rods and gouging torch have been widely used. In fact, there are many similarities between the arc cutting and arc gouging works, power, tools, materials and gas supply are exactly the same. Only in that specific operation is slightly different. The carbon gouging rods and gouging torch are one species.
