What is Air Gouging?

Air Gouging, also known as Carbon Arc Air Gouging, is a metal removal process that uses a carbon electrode and compressed air to remove unwanted metal from a workpiece. The electric arc melts the metal while a high-pressure air stream blows away the molten material, creating a clean groove or cavity.

This process is widely used for weld removal, defect correction, back gouging, crack removal, and preparation of weld joints in steel fabrication and heavy industrial applications.
