Brush fill wire material crimped brush wire

Description

Steel is a heat-treated, high-tensile strength wire with excellent fatigue resistance and brushing action. Brushes with a wire diameter from .**8” and above use high-carbon wire. Brushes with a wire diameter from .**3” to .**6” use hard drawn wire for fine surface work. Available in .**3” to .**0” wire diameters. Stainless Steel Type **2 and Type **4 are the two types of stainless steel most commonly used in brushes. Type **2 is nonmagnetic, extremely tough, ductile and excellent for corrosion resistance. Type **4 the most widely used stainless steel and is similar to type **2. Type **2 and Type **4 become slightly magnetic when cold worked and have excellent fabrication and welding characteristics. Recommended where contamination or “after rust” is a problem such as brushing stainless steel and non-ferrous metals. Available in .**3” to .**0” wire diameters. Stainless Steel Type **6 maintains a higher tensile strength at elevated temperatures. It also offers superior corrosion resistance in chlorides and many other environments than Type **4. Best choice for highly contaminated applications. Available in .**3” to .**0” wire diameters. Brass is a non-ferrous and softer wire compared to steel and stainless steel. It has a high conductivity effective for reducing heavy static in a concentrated area. Brass is corrosion resistant and an excellent choice for cleaning scratch susceptible surfaces. Available in .**3” to .**0” wire diameters. Phosphorous Bronze is a non-ferrous wire with excellent corrosion resistance, good fatigue life and high electrical conductivity for reducing static in a concentrated area. Bronze is used for better corrosion resistance and greater strength than brass. Available in .**3” to .**0” wire diameters.
