I found this post on a message board online: "According to local legend,carbon arc gouging o4iginated here in Bremerton when Niel Krumm and acouple of other welders in the early days of WW II thought to formalzean old welder's trick and combine an air nozzle with a welding electrodetorch and manufacture a torch especially designed for air/carbon arcgouging. The arc melted a puddle and the air blew it away in a shower ofsparks.

They founded ArcAir. They set up shop in Navy Yard City and kept goinguntil Niel's opartners died off and he got old. AirCo bought them out in1970 or so. I worked for them evening for several years. I was payingoff my engine lathe: had no life at the time.

Arc gouging is the foundry's best friend for removing bumps and lumps,risers and other unwanted protuberances from castings. Also for gougingout bad welds, excavating subsurface defects, and other digging aroundin tough metals where a quick and dirty approach is desirable. I've seenthe track layers gouge out crane rail with 600 Amp welding generatorsset to max. The current was such that 4/0 welding cable coiled upsurplus fanned out from the magnetic forces in time with the arc'ssound.

Wanna know where they got the sound for Star War's light saber duels?It's from an electric arc furnace beginning a melt. Arc gouging donewith heavy current sounds like it except over the gouging comes the hissof blowing air." This was posted by "Forrest Addy" on April 17, 2006
