The operating noise level of the air-carbon arc cutting and gouging process can be reduced by controlling the air velocity in the area where the air impinges on the arc column to between 90 and 170 feet per second. Velocity control can be achieved by modifications to existing air-carbon arc cutting and gouging torches.

An aluminum coated carbon-graphite electrode for use in the air-carbon arc cutting and gouging process. Uniformly coating the electrode with commercially pure aluminum results in a lower operating noise level when the electrode is in use, a cleaner and safer work environment for the user and better performance than conventional electrodes. A further feature of the invention resides in lowering the operating air pressure in the torch when using the new electrodes to further reduce the operating noise level.

The operating noise level of the air-carbon arc cutting and gouging process can be reduced by controlling the air velocity in the area where the air impinges on the arc column to between 90 and 170 feet per second. Further noise reduction can be achieved through selection of electrode composition, sound attenuating material juxtaposed to the operator's ears, control of arc voltage level and electrode stick-out. Velocity control can be achieved by modifications to existing air-carbon arc cutting and gouging torches.

Addition of between 2 and 20% by weight of noise suppressing constituents to a conventional d. c. air-carbon arc cutting and gouging electrode results in an electrode operating at noise levels between 5 and 15 dbA below that of a conventional d. c. electrode. Further noise reduction is achieved by lowering the operating pressure of the air in the torch.

An electrode for use in cutting or gouging workpieces underwater by means of an electric arc comprising a generally elongated porous substrate, with a circumferential recess proximate one end to form a snap-off end on the substrate. The substrate is covered with a combined electrical insulating and waterproof coating except for a portion of the end opposite the recess which is inserted into a suitable underwater torch. When the electrode is submerged it has complete waterproof integrity until the snap-off end is removed to allow the substrate to be brought in contact with the workpiece so that an arc may be struck and maintained between the substrate and the workpiece to achieve cutting or gouging.
