Arcair® carbon plates are used to control weld metal flow and take the place of many one-time jugs and fixtures. Carbon plates are an excellent backup material when thin sections of metal are to be welded or brazed together or onto thicker sections. In the thin to thick application they are particularly useful, since most of the heat is transferred to the thin section. A section of carbon plate placed under the thin section will enable heat to flow more evenly throughout the joint. Carbon plates are very useful in aluminum welding. They prevent sagging of parts during the welding or brazing operation. These versatile plates can also be used in forming dams and molds that ensure smooth straight corners and edges after weld repair.
