OVERVIEW

The Faster Way to Clean Stainless Welds

If you are working with stainless steel, you know that cleaning up the heat tint after welding can be a chore. The Walter Flow-Through Brush (55B005) is designed to make that job a whole lot easier and faster. This isn't your average wire brush; it's a specialized tool for your SURFOX machine that lets the cleaning liquid flow right through the bristles while you work. Forget about constantly stopping to dip your brush into a jar of fluid. With this flow-through design, you just keep moving. The fluid is delivered right to the tip of the brush where the action happens, keeping the bristles wet and the electricity flowing smoothly.

This brush is a lifesaver for TIG welders who need to get into tight spots. The bristles are flexible, so you can jam them into corners, around pipe fittings, or over uneven surfaces where a flat cleaning pad just won't reach. Because the fluid is always flowing, you don't have to worry about the brush drying out and burning your workpiece. It keeps the weld cool and cleans off the blue and brown discoloration instantly, leaving you with a bright, shiny, and passivated surface. It’s like painting away the weld burn.

Using the 55B005 is also safer and cleaner than using nasty pickling pastes. There are no toxic fumes to worry about when used with the proper SURFOX solutions, and you don't have to wait hours for a paste to work. You get instant results. The brush is built tough to handle the heat, so it lasts a long time before you need to swap it out. If you want to speed up your finishing process and get that professional look on your stainless projects, this is the accessory you need in your kit. It turns a tedious cleaning job into a quick, satisfying step in your fabrication process.

FAQ

The 55B005 Flow-Through Brush is designed for use with Walter SURFOX electrochemical weld cleaning systems, including the SURFOX 104, 204, 205, 304, 305, and Mini.

The brush attaches to a flow-through wand which pumps electrolyte solution through the center of the brush, ensuring the bristles are constantly saturated without manual dipping.

While the brush itself is conductive, electrochemical cleaning is primarily used for stainless steel. Consult your SURFOX manual for specific aluminum cleaning applications and solutions.

Lifespan depends on usage intensity and heat. Keeping the brush well-saturated with fluid prevents burning and extends its life significantly.

Yes, you need the SURFOX Flow-Through Wand (typically part number 54B051) to utilize the fluid delivery feature properly.

Rinse the brush thoroughly with water (and the neutralizer if recommended) to remove acidic electrolyte residue, which prevents the bristles from degrading during storage.

For corners, irregular surfaces, and intricate welds, the brush is superior to pads because the bristles can reach into crevices that pads cannot.
