Analyzes and evaluations for the cleaning and polishing with Reuter high current weld cleaning equipment The tests were conducted on 500x500x1,5 mm metal sheets of 1.4301 with the additional material by 1.4576 TIG - A current and the inert gas argon 4.6 with 6 l / min performed welding process in 65th Cleaned and polished was the SuperCleanox VI in stage I when using an XL-brush and the nontoxic electrolyte Cleaner (food additive E338, 10% phosphoric acid, CLP marking irritant) and the electrolyte Polisher (food additive E338, a 75% phosphoric acid, CLP marking corrosive). The series of tests were carried out by the accredited laboratory Wessling. Each test series was about 2 hours. We measured the exhaust gas and waste water values according to TRGS, and the food compatibility according to LFGB and EC Regulation no. 1935/2004 and EC no. 2023/2006 and confirmed. The corrosion resistance and evidence of passivation was detected by the salt spray test according to DIN EN ISO 9227 NSS 336 hours by the accredited IGOS Institute. All certificates and detailed investigation reports can be requested as a PDF file with us. Consumption Analysis per 1 meter TIG welding: Elektrolyt Cleaner Polisher Consumption of electrolyte 35 g/m 15 g / m Wear XL Brush 0,7 mm/ m 0,3 mm / m Processing time 2,8 min / m 2,5 min / m Wastewater volume 0,1 l / m 0,13 l / m With a 2 kg tin Polisher so you can clean 150 m weld / polish and wear a carbon fiber brush XL 60%. The cleaning of 1 meter TIG weld thus costs about 40 cents. This, however, greatly depends on the quality of the weld or parameters and the different pack prices of the electrolytes.
