How should carbon arc gouging carbon rods be selected for welding repair, thick plate beveling, and other scenarios?

The core of selecting carbon rods for carbon arc gouging is to match the diameter, cross-sectional shape, and material type according to the application scenario, 

and to optimize the selection in conjunction with current and process parameters to balance efficiency and quality.

The selection of carbon arc gouging carbon rods for welding rework and thick plate beveling hinges on matching operational precision requirements, 

base material thickness, and avoiding carbon contamination. Priority should be given to selecting the rod based on three dimensions: carbon rod type (copper-plated/standard), diameter, and structure (solid/hollow).
