What is Electro Arc’s Carbide Impregnator?
Electro Arc introduced the Carbide Impregnator in June of 1964. This bench-type carbide impregnator hardens wear surfaces of tools. You can use this process to extend tool life and reduce downtime and maintenance. Cratering, galling and chip abrasion are substantially reduced. You will find this plug-in-hand tool easy to use.…
What Material is Most Efficient in the Disintegration Process?
First of all, what is an Electrode? An electrode is an electrical conductor, Electro Arc electrodes, formerly referred to as Disintrodes, are hollow tubing made of graphite, copper, or Molybdenum. Electro Arc machines will operate with any material that conducts electricity as the electrode. Metal disintegration works on the principle…
Black VS clear Splash bags for your metal disintegrator
What is a splash bag? Electro Arc metal disintegrators use a thick clear or black “splash bag” to contain the coolant which is continually running through your Electro Arc metal disintegrator and the sparks metal disintegration process creates.
