54D315 - Walter SURFOX 305 Electrochemical Weld Cleaning System 120V

Advanced Electrochemical Weld Cleaning and Passivation

The Walter SURFOX 305 (SKU: 54D315) represents the pinnacle of electrochemical weld cleaning technology, designed specifically to address the rigorous demands of industrial metal finishing. This system provides a highly efficient method for removing heat tint and oxides from the heat-affected zones (HAZ) of MIG, TIG, and spot welds on stainless steel and aluminum. Unlike mechanical abrasion which can alter the surface finish, or hazardous pickling pastes that pose safety risks, the SURFOX 305 utilizes a controlled electrochemical process to clean and passivate the surface simultaneously, restoring the chromium oxide layer essential for corrosion resistance.

Engineered for precision and safety, the unit features a dynamic current control system that automatically monitors the electrical output to prevent micro-pitting, ensuring the integrity of the base material is maintained. The system operates on a standard 120V input and delivers a variable output of 12-30V AC/DC with a maximum current of 30 Amps. The inclusion of both AC and DC modes significantly expands its utility: the AC mode is optimized for cleaning and marking, while the DC mode excels at polishing and etching, providing a mirror-like finish on stainless steel surfaces.

Operational efficiency is maximized through the integrated flow-through system. A large 64.2 oz (1.9 L) reservoir holds the electrolyte solution, which is pumped directly to the workpiece through the 13-foot hose and wand assembly. This eliminates the need for manual dipping, reduces spillage, and ensures a constant supply of fresh electrolyte to the cleaning tip. Furthermore, the built-in vapor dispersion system actively manages fumes, creating a safer working environment for the operator. The SURFOX 305 is an indispensable tool for fabrication shops requiring ASTM A967 and ASTM A380 compliant passivation.
