» Process involves :
1. Striking of an arc between the metal work piece and carbon electrode.
2. Melting of metal through the use of arc.
3. Removal of molten metal through compressed air.
It is used for removal of weld defects, U-grooving, gouging out cracks, flushing out bolts and rivets, contouring.

» Features :
Low price, low heat input, low metal removal cost, cuts all metals rapidly, easy to use, noiseless process.
Versatile :
1) works in all positions,
2) cuts, grooves, bevels & contours
3) used in workshop or field.

» Equipments required for the process:
1. 400 to 1200 Amp. DC power source.
2. compressed air at 4-6 Kg/cm2
3. METARC Gouging Torch
