Steel wire cylinder brushes are suitable for a wide variety of applications and are generally the most economical of the different metal brush options. Steel wire is the hardest of the commonly offered brush wires, providing a high fatigue life and durable cutting action. Steel wire is most appropriate for work on steel and iron work pieces, but may also be used on wood, concrete, and other softer metals. As a general guideline, the softer the material coming in contact with the brushing action, the more likely that a steel wire brush will cut into and remove base material in addition to any targeted coating or contamination.
Heat and Moisture
Steel brush wire is appropriate for applications up to constant operating temperatures of 275° F, but can be used where the cylinder brush will come in contact with higher temperatures for shorter periods of time. When ambient temperatures will exceed 275°F, stainless steel cylinder brushes should be considered. Cylindrical stainless steel brushes should also be considered for wet applications or when corrosion can be a factor.
