Surfox

Welding of stainless steel produces a discoloration of the surface that must be removed to restore the corrosion resistance of the stainless steel and to improve its appearance.

The patented SURFOX Cleaning System for stainless steel offers remarkable time savings and restores a bright finish to welded stainless steel. Surface discoloration (bluing) from TIG welding and spot welds is removed instantly and the original mill finish is restored, requiring no further treatment.

The SURFOX Cleaning System is a revolutionary alternative to passivation with pickling paste (a slow process using very aggressive and hazardous acids) or abrasives (slower and the original finish is difficult to match).

This truly revolutionary system is...

1. Fast - Cleaning and passivation of a typical TIG weld is done at a speed of 3 feet per minute.
2. Safe - Surfox-T cleaning solution is laboratory certified to be safe and poses absolutely no health risk to operators.
3. Easy to Use - The cleaning liquid is delivered automatically to the cleaning tip by an integrated pump system - without spills, just the rights  amount and without stopping the cleaning action. 

Here are the accessories you'll need for your Surfox weld cleaning machine:

1. Surfox-T Electrolyte Cleaning Solution, 1.5L bottle (Order No.: W54-A005)
2. Surfox-N Neutralizing Solution, 500ml bottle (Order No.: W54-A023)
3. Standard Cleaning Pads, 10 per package (Order No.: W54-B001)

Here's how it works: 

1. Surfox-T electrolyte solution is delivered to the cleaning tip in measured pump strokes.
2. The special cleaning pad is soaked by the electrolyte.
3. Electric current activates the electrolyte and dissolves the discoloration of the stainless steel (electrochemical deoxidizing).
4. Multi-function push-button switches in the hand piece turn the unit on and off and control the delivery of the electrolyte solution to the tip.
5. Built-in vapor suction evacuates fumes. (Surfox-203 Only)
