SE-2300 - Walter SE-2000 Stainless Steel Weld Cleaning System

Advanced Electrochemical Cleaning and Passivation

The Walter SE-2000 (SKU: SE-2300) represents a significant step forward in surface finishing technology for the industrial metalworking sector. Designed specifically for the treatment of stainless steel, this electrochemical weld cleaning system provides a superior alternative to mechanical abrasion and hazardous chemical pickling. By utilizing a controlled electrochemical reaction, the SE-2000 effectively removes heat tint, oxides, and discoloration caused by welding processes such as TIG and spot welding, while simultaneously promoting the reformation of the passive chromium oxide layer on the stainless steel surface.

Unlike mechanical methods that can alter the surface finish or leave behind iron contaminants, the SE-2000 ensures the integrity of the base material is maintained. The system uses conductive cleaning pads or brushes in conjunction with specialized electrolytes to facilitate the cleaning action. This process is not only faster than traditional methods but also significantly safer for the operator and the environment, as it eliminates the need for hydrofluoric and nitric acid-based pickling pastes. The unit is engineered for reliability in industrial MRO environments, featuring robust components capable of sustaining consistent cleaning operations.

For facility managers and safety officers, the transition to an electrochemical system like the SE-2000 reduces the liability associated with storing and handling dangerous pickling chemicals. The immediate passivation capability ensures that treated parts are corrosion-resistant right off the line, meeting ASTM passivation standards where applicable. The system is compact and portable, making it suitable for both shop floor use and on-site maintenance applications.
