Oxide layer removal
Mechanically remove the oxide layer from laser-cut parts before welding, painting and coating.
Why remove the oxide layer?
When oxygen is used in laser cutting, an oxide layer forms on metal surfaces, including stainless steel. This layer must be removed before electrostatic painting, coating or welding.
Famak units clean dirt and oxides from laser-cut parts with steel wire brushes. Compared with chemical cleaning, this method saves time, is more durable and is environmentally friendly.
- Before welding, painting and coating
- Steel wire brush units
- No chemicals required
Frequently asked questions
How does the oxide layer affect welding?
The oxide layer reduces weld seam quality; it must be removed before welding.
Why mechanical rather than chemical cleaning?
Mechanical cleaning with steel wire brushes is faster than chemical methods, produces no chemical waste and is environmentally friendly.
