Similarities And Differences Between Brass Wire Strip Brush And Brass Coated Wire Strip Brush

The wire strip brush used in the industrial process has a variety of different brush bristle materials. For example, stainless steel brush bristle, this material has the characteristics of high strength, wear resistance, corrosion resistance, and is a common choice for making wire strip brush; brass wire brush bristle, because of its high hardness and good wear resistance, it is also used to make wire strip brush, especially suitable for occasions that require fine treatment. Similarly, in addition to stainless steel and brass wire, wire strip brush may also use other types of wire, such as alloy wire, depending on the use environment and needs. These materials are selected primarily based on their physical and chemical properties to meet the cleaning and surface treatment needs of different industrial sectors.

We will discuss the similarities and differences between brass wire strip brush and brass coated wire strip brush as follows:

 

Differences in Materials

 

Brass wire strip brush: As the name suggests, brass wire strip brush is mainly made of pure brass wire. Pure brass wire has good electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and plasticity, but in contrast, its corrosion resistance is weak, and it is easy to oxidize in wet or corrosive environments.

 

Brass coated wire strip brush: Brass coated wire strip brush is a kind of strip brushes which plated brass wire on the surface of non-pure brass wire, such as stainless steel wire, etc. This treatment not only retains the advantages of the original material, such as the high strength and corrosion resistance of stainless steel wire, but also enhances its aesthetic and electrical conductivity through a brass-coated layer. At the same time, the brass coating can also improve the corrosion resistance of the brush to a certain extent.

 

Performance Comparison

 

Electrical and Thermal Conductivity: Due to the use of pure brass wire, brass wire strip brush has excellent electrical and thermal conductivity. However, although the electrical conductivity of brass coated wire strip brush is also better, it may be affected by the properties of the substrate and slightly worse than that of brass strip brush.

 

Corrosion Resistance: Brass coated wire strip brush is excellent in corrosion resistance, especially in wet or corrosive environments. Its brass coated layer can effectively prevent corrosion of the substrate. In contrast, the corrosion resistance of brass wire strip brush is poor, and attention needs to be paid to protection during use.

 

Hardness and Wear Resistance: The hardness of industrial strip brush depends on its substrate. For example, stainless steel wire substrate has higher hardness and wear resistance. The hardness of brass wire strip brush is relatively low. However, the softness of brass wire strip brush is high, and the brush is suitable for some fine cleaning and polishing work.

Variance of Uses

 

Brass wire strip brush: Due to its softness and good electrical and thermal conductivity, brass wire strip brush is often used for cleaning and polishing of flexible materials, such as wood, plastic, rubber, paper and other surfaces. However, due to the low hardness of brass wire, soft hair brass wire brush may not be effective in removing rust from metal surfaces.

 

Brass coated wire strip brush: Brass coated wire strip brush combines the advantages of substrate and brass coated layer, and has a wide range of uses. It can be used not only for fine cleaning and polishing work, but also to maintain stable performance in wet or corrosive environments. Therefore, brass coated wire strip brush has been widely used in chemical, electronics, food and other industries.

Using Effect and Precautions

 

Using Effect: In actual use, brass coated wire strip brush and brass wire strip brush can achieve a certain cleaning and polishing effect. However, the specific effect depends on the environment and the material of the object to be cleaned. For example, for cleaning and polishing metal surfaces, a brass copper strip brush may be more suitable; For the cleaning and polishing of flexible materials, brass wire strip brush is more advantageous.

 

Precautions: When using these two kinds of brushes, you need to pay attention to safety precautions, such as wearing gloves, goggles and other protective supplies. At the same time, it is also necessary to choose the appropriate type and specification of brush according to the use environment and the material of the object to be cleaned. In addition, in the process of use, it is also necessary to pay attention to avoid brushes and brush bristles falling to scratch the human body or pollute the environment.

 

There are significant differences between brass coated wire strip brush and brass wire strip brush in material, performance, use and using effect. When choosing to use, it is necessary to make comprehensive consideration and selection according to specific needs and conditions.
