Prepare
cracked welds. Perfect for Cast Iron repairs and the removal
of damaged hard surfacing.
· AC or DC straight (DO NOT USE DC-R POLARITY)
· All Position.

· Removes Cracked Welds
· Works on all Metals,
· Clean
· Low Smoke
· No Slag Residue
· Ideal For Pre-Heat On Cast Iron
· Does Not Arc Through Coating
APPLICATIONS:
Gouging of ferrous and non-ferrous metal. Can be used to remove unwanted
or defective weld metal, prepare parts prior to welding, remove risers,
and/or reduce large areas of metal prior to machining. Will remove
stainless welds.
PROCEDURE:
For a proper arc, strike the rod to preheat the core wire, lay the
rod on the work, position at starting point and tilt. Once the arc
is obtained, drop the rod to 10º off the work, and push in the
direction of travel. As a molten puddle forms in front of the rod,
give a slight push to remove molten material. The depth of the groove
can be adjusted by the angle of the rod. For heavy removal of material,
we recommend using the Alcam #2. The #2 rod can be angled up to 45º
and can cut off unwanted metal using sawing action.

APPLICATIONS:
Gouging and chamfering of ferrous and non-ferrous metal. Can be used
to remove unwanted or defective weld metal, prepare parts prior to
welding, remove risers, and/or reduce large areas of metal prior to
machining. Will remove stainless welds.
PROCEDURE:
For a proper arc, strike the rod to preheat the core wire, lay the
rod on the work, position at starting point and tilt. Once the arc
is obtained, drop the rod to 10º off the work, and push in the
direction of travel. As a molten puddle forms in front of the rod,
give a slight push to remove molten material. The depth of the groove
can be adjusted by the angle of the rod. For piercing just press the
rod to the work at 90º. The pierced hole will be free of slag
on both sides (up to 3/8” base material) and able to accept
a nut and bolt. For heavy removal of material, angle the rod up to
45º and cut off unwanted metal using sawing action.
