OVERVIEW

Optimized Electrochemical Cleaning for Stainless Steel

The Walter Surfox Powercloth (SKU: 48H405) is a critical consumable for professionals utilizing the Surfox electrochemical weld cleaning system. Engineered to facilitate the precise application of cleaning electrolytes, this high-conductivity cloth ensures that the electrical current is evenly distributed across the heat-affected zone (HAZ) of stainless steel welds. By maintaining optimal contact and conductivity, the Powercloth enables the Surfox system to instantaneously remove heat tint and discoloration while simultaneously promoting the formation of the passive chromium oxide layer essential for corrosion resistance.

Unlike traditional abrasive methods or hazardous pickling pastes, the Surfox process relies on the synergy between the machine's current, the electrolyte solution, and the applicator. The Powercloth serves as the interface, holding the electrolyte solution effectively while withstanding the thermal and chemical stresses of the cleaning process. Its durable synthetic construction prevents premature disintegration, ensuring consistent performance throughout the cleaning of complex TIG welds or spot welds. For industrial MRO operations focused on efficiency and safety, the Powercloth is an indispensable component of the stainless steel finishing workflow.

This pack contains 20 Powercloths, designed to be used in conjunction with Surfox tungsten inserts and clamping rings. Regular replacement of the Powercloth ensures that the cleaning efficiency remains high and prevents cross-contamination or arcing that can occur with worn consumables. Whether working on food-grade stainless steel equipment or architectural fabrication, the Walter Surfox Powercloth delivers the reliable, high-quality finish demanded by industry standards.

FAQ

It serves as a conductive interface between the Surfox machine's wand and the workpiece, holding the electrolyte solution to clean and passivate stainless steel welds.

The Walter 48H405 package contains 20 Powercloths.

Yes, the Powercloth is designed to work with the standard wands and inserts found on most Surfox electrochemical cleaning systems.

The Powercloth is a consumable item. While it lasts for a while during a session, it should be replaced once it becomes worn, torn, or heavily contaminated to maintain cleaning efficiency.

No, the Powercloth is made of a soft, conductive fabric that cleans without altering the surface finish, unlike wire brushes or abrasive pads.

You typically use the clamping ring provided with your Surfox wand to secure the Powercloth over the tungsten insert.

It is made of a specialized conductive synthetic fiber designed to withstand the electrochemical environment and heat generated during the cleaning process.

This can happen if there isn't enough electrolyte solution flowing, or if the amperage is set too high for the application. Ensure the cloth is well-saturated.
