Carbon Arc gouging rod?

Posted by Rick Kr on July 25, 2009 at 19:49:07 from (67.108.90.99):

Just got a bunch of "junk" from neighbors cleaning out their parents garage.
Pulleys, electric motors, tire spoons, drills, and on an on. One mans junk is anothers treasure.

They were going to throw everything in a dumpster. I got a lot of welding rod. Had to dig out the old NEMA/AWS color charts to ID some of it.

Anyway I found what I think is Carbon Arc rod. I have never done carbon arc or seen the rod.

It looks like a carbon center with a copper coating, maybe 5/16" in diameter. Broke one piece, its somewhat brittle. All the rods look to have been used and are pointed/burned on one end, but no marks on the other end (doesn"t look like it had been clamped.

I google it, but all I come up with is Air Carbon Arc, and it shows a little different setup for air, similar to a plasma torch.

Any one have any idea what I have.

Thanks,
Rick
