TIG Weld Brush Cleaning

http://www.swanglenmetalproducts.co.uk TIG Weld Brush Cleaning at Swanglen Metal Products Ltd T.I.G Brush Cleaning Swanglen uses the most advanced weld cleaning technology in the world. All our T.I.G welds are cleaned using our T.I.G Brush TBE 250 cleaning system. This is a safe and effective way to clean the welded surface of stainless steel. It has been designed to quickly remove the blue and brown iron oxide marks without altering the surface finish of the metal, T.I.G brushing also passivates the metal in the same operation. What causes the blue/brown marks after T.I.G Welding? When stainless steel is welded, the intense heat generated causes chromium depletion, so an iron-rich zone is left around the weld. High concentration of surface iron, together with the high welding temperatures, causes the iron to oxidize immediately. This results in the characteristic blue and brown discolouration on the welded area. What is T.I.G Brush Cleaning? TIG stands for Tungsten Inert Gas and is technically called Gas Tungsten Arc Welding or GTAW The T.I.G Brush comprises a brush through which an electric current is passed. The brush is dipped into a cleaning fluid and then applied to the areas to be cleaned. The fluid is designed to remove the iron oxide marks which result from welding, unlike pickling paste the active ingredients of the cleaning fluid are not inherently dangerous to operator health and if used correctly the fluid is non-toxic to the environment.
