This new generation of Surfox 205 uses an electrochemical process to clean and passivate TIG and spot welds on stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium, the company says. The redesigned machine is exceptionally powerful, rugged and is said to replace time-consuming manual operations such as mechanical abrasion or extremely hazardous solutions like pickling paste.
Like the Surfox 205, the redesigned Mini Surfox also has been engineered to allow operators to clean TIG or spot welds on aluminum and stainless steel to a perfect finish even on the most delicate surfaces. This durable unit is compact, portable and lightweight which makes it ideal for everyday field work including equipment repair, installation or touch-up, Walter Surface Technologies says.
“Electrochemical cleaning is by far the safest and most efficient method of removing heat tint and other contaminants from stainless steel surfaces” says Jonathan Douville senior product manager for Surfox. “What is unique about the new generation of Surfox machines is that we are now able and have the patent to use both the 205 and the Mini to mark stainless, aluminum in black and titanium in blue.”
Walter Surface Technologies says the benefit from using electrochemical systems is a safer, healthier industrial environment for the worker and a more efficient work process that lowers consumable costs yet produces a high standard of cleaning, and consistent finish on stainless steel, aluminum, and titanium. Surfox systems are ideal for any industry where stainless and aluminum are found, the company says.
