Stainless Steel Wire Brushes
Wire brushes made from stainless steel wire are suitable for work on stainless steel and aluminum fabricated products, and for use in direct food-contact applications, in higher heat situations, and in environments where the brush wire may be exposed to moisture or high humidity on a repeated basis. We feature 304 Stainless Steel wire to offer a higher analysis wire to customers working on either 302 0r 304 stainless workpieces.
Stainless steel wire is generally recommended for continuous operating temperatures up to 600°F. Temperatures above this level call for a more specialized wire such as Inconel (600).
Stainless steel wire can be supplied in the following types of brushes: cylinder brush, metal back strip brush, auger brush, wheel brush, centerless brush, copper-center small diameter wheel brush, knot-wheel brush, cup brush, knot-cup brush, minigrinder brush, end brush, spot-facer brush, tube-cleaning or twisted in wire brush, and stapleset brush.
