Abstract
An arc cutting and gouging torch in combination with nozzle assemblies for suspending a carbon electrode and discharging a combined air stream relative to the carbon electrode centerline. The nozzle assemblies include exit orifices which are disposed in a non-parallel alignment relative to one another and the electrode to cause the air jet discharged from each exit orifice to merge at a location upstream of the arc and substantially about the centerline of the electrode.
