Weld Cleaning Machines

Alphaweld Supply Group announces that they no longer a dedicated distributor of Ensitech® Tig Brush® weld cleaning machines. We offer the Cougartron® range of weld cleaning machines as a more economical, versatile and superior alternative with better service and backup.

Why clean Stainless Steel?

The main issue in working with stainless steel is that any welding of it creates an ugly brownish heat tint on the weld afterwards and also damages the thin chromium oxide film on top that leads to corrosion over time. Traditional methods for cleaning and re-passivation were using dangerous and toxic acids and pastes to achieve a visually acceptable finish. These acids were commonly a combination of hydrofluoric and nitric acid and careless exposure to these can result in serious injury or even death. A safer alternative was needed for workers and the environment than these toxic chemicals and hence stainless steel weld cleaning machines were invented.

What is a “Tig Brush”?

The term “Tig Brush®” has quickly over the last few years become synonymous with electro-chemical weld cleaning in the welding and fabricating industry especially in the stainless steel market. It is a registered brand name of Ensitech® Pty Ltd, a company founded in Sydney in 2006¹.
