OVERVIEW

Reliable Weld Cleaning with Lincoln Electric

Achieve professional results with the Lincoln Electric K3180-1 Stainless Steel Wire Brush, available at Welders Supply. When working with stainless steel, maintaining the integrity of the material is paramount. This heavy-duty scratch brush is designed specifically for the unique demands of stainless steel welding. It effectively removes slag, spatter, and heat discoloration without contaminating the weld zone. Cross-contamination from carbon steel brushes is a common cause of rust on stainless projects; by using the K3180-1, you ensure that your welds remain clean, bright, and corrosion-resistant.

Built for Comfort and Control

Welding preparation and cleanup shouldn't be a pain. The K3180-1 features a curved handle design that sets it apart from standard straight-handled brushes. This simple yet effective ergonomic improvement provides a more secure grip, giving you greater leverage when scrubbing away tough deposits. The curve helps reduce wrist strain and hand fatigue, making it an excellent choice for welders who spend hours prepping materials or cleaning finished beads. The handle is sturdy and built to withstand the rigors of a busy shop environment.

Versatile 2 x 9 Row Design

The 2 x 9 row bristle pattern is ideal for general light cleaning duties. Its narrow width is perfect for getting into the toes of fillet welds or cleaning out grooves before laying down the next pass. Whether you are TIG welding precision parts or MIG welding structural stainless, this brush provides the scrubbing power you need. It is an indispensable tool for material preparation, inter-pass cleaning, and final finishing. Trust Lincoln Electric quality to keep your stainless steel projects looking their best.

FAQ

The bristles are made of stainless steel, which is essential for preventing cross-contamination when working on stainless steel base materials.

The handle features a slight curve to improve ergonomics, providing a better grip and reducing hand fatigue during repetitive cleaning tasks.

This brush has a 2 x 9 row configuration, meaning it has 2 rows of bristles in width and 9 rows in length.

While stainless steel brushes can be used on aluminum, it is best practice to dedicate a specific brush to a single material type to avoid cross-contamination.

It is designed for general light cleaning. For extremely heavy slag, a chipping hammer or power brush might be required first, followed by this brush for cleanup.

Using a carbon steel brush on stainless steel leaves behind free iron particles that will rust, compromising the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel.

Its primary function is cleaning and material preparation, specifically for removing oxides and impurities from stainless steel surfaces.

The SKU K3180-1 typically refers to a single brush, though it may be bulk packaged by some distributors. Always check the specific quantity listing.
