54B043 - Walter SURFOX Large Cleaning Pads for Graphite Insert - Pack of 10

Optimized Electrochemical Cleaning with Walter SURFOX Pads

The Walter 54B043 Large Cleaning Pads are an essential consumable for professionals utilizing the SURFOX electrochemical weld cleaning system. Engineered to work in perfect synergy with the 54-B-009 Large Graphite Insert, these pads are critical for maintaining the efficiency and effectiveness of your weld cleaning operations. In the electrochemical cleaning process, the pad serves as the interface between the conductive insert and the workpiece, holding the electrolyte solution and ensuring an even distribution of electrical current. The 54B043 pads are manufactured from a specialized high-conductivity synthetic fiber that withstands the thermal and chemical stresses inherent to the process while facilitating the rapid removal of heat tint and oxides.

Using the correct pad is vital for achieving ASTM A967 certified passivation. These large pads provide a substantial surface area, making them ideal for cleaning longer TIG seams or larger heat-affected zones on stainless steel structures. The material texture is designed to be abrasive enough to aid in cleaning but soft enough to prevent scratching the base metal, preserving the mirror or brushed finish of your workpiece. By ensuring a consistent flow of electrolyte and a stable electrical arc, these pads help prevent micro-pitting and ensure that the chromium oxide passive layer is fully restored immediately after welding.

This package contains 10 replacement pads, providing a cost-effective solution for high-volume fabrication environments. Regular replacement of the cleaning pad is recommended to maintain optimal conductivity and to prevent the buildup of contaminants that could affect the cleaning quality. Whether you are working in the food and beverage industry, pharmaceutical manufacturing, or architectural fabrication, relying on genuine Walter SURFOX consumables like the 54B043 ensures that your stainless steel finishes meet the highest standards of hygiene and corrosion resistance.

Integration with the SURFOX system is seamless. The pads are easily secured over the graphite insert, allowing for quick changeovers during busy shifts. Their durability means less downtime spent changing pads and more time focused on production. For technical operators who demand precision and reliability in their electrochemical cleaning processes, the Walter 54B043 pads deliver consistent, high-quality results every time.
