How To Choose Crimped Wire Wheel Brushes?

How to choose Crimped Wire Wheel Brushes?

When attempting to remove rust and oxidation, paint, slag, weld spatter and other unnecessary surface pollutants without removing any base material, wire brushes are the perfect option. But how do you pick the right wire brush for the job with so many choices available? When selecting a wire brush, let’s discuss the four key factors to consider:

1. Diameter of the wire

A good thumb rule to follow is to select very fine to the fine wire for light-duty jobs， medium and coarse wire for heavy-duty jobs.

2. Type of Wire

Crimped Wire Wheel Brushes are available in stainless steel, carbon steel, brass, and nylon. Brass and nylon are relatively lightweight and can be used on most workpieces, whereas carbon steel and stainless steel are better combined with particular types of material. Choosing the correct one is as simple as choosing the right form of wire to match the material for the workpiece.

3. The Filament configuration

In Crimped Wire Wheel Brushes individual filaments are supported only by each other by creating extra flexibility. These brushes are ideal for working on finer surface finishing, irregular surfaces, and light- to medium-duty contaminant removal.

4. The trim length

The length of the trim is equal to the amount of useful filament on your wire brush. These best practices can come in handy in choosing the right trim length.

Irregular surface – pick longer trim lengths for greater versatility

Several applications – for quicker intervention, choose shorter, more rigid trim length 

These are the four factors to be considered while choosing Crimped Wire Wheel Brushes.
