54B017 - Walter Surfox 205/305 Narrow Tungsten Insert

Precision Cleaning for Stainless Steel Welds

The Walter Narrow Insert (54-B-017) is a specialized accessory designed for the Surfox 205 and Surfox 305 electrochemical weld cleaning systems. In the world of stainless steel fabrication, achieving a pristine, passivated finish is critical, especially in industries like food and beverage, pharmaceuticals, and architectural design. This narrow insert is engineered to solve one of the most common challenges in weld cleaning: accessing tight corners and intricate geometries where standard, bulkier inserts cannot reach.

Crafted from a highly conductive and resilient material, this insert ensures optimal electrical transfer from the Surfox machine to the workpiece. This efficiency is vital for the electrochemical process, which utilizes electrical current and electrolyte solution to instantly remove heat tint, discoloration, and other surface contaminants caused by welding. The result is a clean, passivated surface that restores the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel without the need for hazardous pickling pastes or abrasive grinding that alters the surface finish.

Seamless Compatibility and Durability

The 54-B-017 insert is part of a modular system designed by Walter Surface Technologies. It is fully compatible with the 54-B-028 cleaning pads and is secured in place using the 54-B-020 clamp ring. For applications requiring better fluid management, it also works with the 54-B-007 cleaning boot. The durability of the insert means it can withstand the thermal and chemical stresses of daily industrial use, providing a reliable connection for consistent cleaning results.

Whether you are cleaning TIG welds, spot welds, or pulsed MIG welds, the Walter Narrow Insert allows operators to maintain high standards of quality control even on complex assemblies. By ensuring that every nook and cranny can be effectively cleaned and passivated, this tool helps fabricators deliver superior products that meet strict industry standards for hygiene and corrosion resistance.
