Best Answer

Gouging is a process where an arc is established between a carbon rod and the metal to be gouged and the metal is melted. A steady flow of air is blown into that molten pool removing the molten metal. Increasing the amperage or slowing down the travel speed allows a deeper gouge. Speeding up the travel speed or decreasing the amperage removes less metal. Copper coated carbon rods are used and are available in different diameters and shapes.
