MAXIDURA – CUTTING-131

Description

MAXIDURA CUT 131 is used for Carbon Arc Cutting (CAC) is a process used to cut metal using an electric arc generated between a carbon or graphite electrode and the workpiece. The intense heat produced by the arc melts the metal, and compressed air blows away the molten material to achieve a clean cut. CAC is versatile, cost-effective, and suitable for a wide range of applications in metal cutting and fabrication.

Applications for SMAW Electrodes in Cutting and Gouging

• Cutting and Piercing Mild & Low Alloy Steels and Cast Iron:
  Perfect for cutting through tough metals like cast iron or low alloy steels, whether for dismantling, repair, or fabrication.
• Burning Rivets:
  The narrow, concentrated arc easily melts and removes rivets in structural components.
• Dismantling Work at Sites:
  Highly portable for use in fieldwork or site demolition where traditional carbon arc gouging may be impractical.
• Removal of Defective Welds and Rivets:
  Smooth and precise arc characteristics make this electrode ideal for removing weld defects or rivets without damaging the parent material.
• Foundry Applications:
  Commonly used to remove flash, risers, and unwanted metal from castings in foundries, with clean results.
• Back Gouging of Root Runs:
  Excellent for preparing weld joints by removing metal from root passes, ensuring strong welds in critical applications.
• Chamfering, Gouging, and Making Grooves:
  Suitable for creating bevels, grooves, or channels in metals for repair or fabrication, offering precision without the need for additional equipment.
• Beveling Cracks in Machine Frames Without Dismantling:
  The portability and precision of the electrode allow on-site repairs to large machinery and structural components without disassembly.
• Cutting Metal Parts on Building Sites:
  An efficient and simple solution for cutting beams, rebar, or other construction materials directly on-site.

Advantages Of Traditional Carbon Arc Gouging-

• Simplified Setup: Requires only a welding power source, electrode holder, and the electrode itself, without the need for compressed air.
• Portability: Ideal for use in remote or confined locations where compressed air or additional equipment is not feasible.
• Cleaner Operation: Low smoke and easy slag removal reduce operator fatigue and cleanup time.
• Cost-Effective: Reduces additional costs for compressed air and complex equipment.
• Ease of Use: Compatible with standard SMAW equipment and techniques, making it accessible for operators familiar with stick welding.
