54B157 - Walter SURFOX Carbon Fiber Micro-Brush (Pack of 5)

Precision Electrochemical Cleaning for Stainless Steel

The Walter Surface Technologies 54B157 Carbon Fiber Micro-Brush is a premium consumable engineered specifically for the SURFOX electrochemical weld cleaning system. In the realm of industrial metal finishing, achieving a pristine, passivated surface on stainless steel TIG welds is critical for both aesthetics and corrosion resistance. This micro-brush represents the ideal solution for fabricators dealing with intricate geometries, tight corners, and irregular surfaces where traditional rigid pads or wands cannot reach.

Manufactured in Italy to Walter's exacting standards, each brush consists of a dense cluster of high-conductivity carbon fibers. These fibers serve as the conduit for the electrical current and the SURFOX electrolyte fluid, facilitating the electrochemical reaction that removes heat tint, discoloration, and surface contaminants. Unlike mechanical abrasion methods (such as wire brushing or grinding), this electrochemical process restores the chromium oxide passive layer on the stainless steel, ensuring long-term durability against environmental factors.

The 54B157 is designed with a threaded base that attaches securely to the SURFOX machine's wand adaptor. This secure connection minimizes electrical resistance and prevents the brush from detaching during vigorous cleaning cycles. The flexibility of the carbon fibers allows the operator to "paint" the electrolyte over the weld seam, ensuring that even the toe of the weld and the heat-affected zone (HAZ) are thoroughly treated. This pack contains five brushes, providing ample supply for continuous production environments.

For industrial MRO operations, maintaining the integrity of stainless steel equipment is paramount. The use of the Walter Carbon Fiber Micro-Brush ensures that repairs and fabrications meet strict sanitary and aesthetic standards, particularly in the food and beverage, pharmaceutical, and architectural sectors. By utilizing this specialized accessory, operators can achieve a mirror-like finish on TIG welds without the risk of altering the base metal's surface profile.
