OP can you explain what is happening there? Or provide the source?
Holy shit SLOW DOWN
What am I looking at?

The camera movements are making me dizzy.

Description says it removes iron oxide marks and passivates the base metal. I’m not sure what’s going on electrochemically.
Since people seem interested in this, there is another chemical method of cleaning welds known as pickling paste.

* Drunk-O-Vision™ YouTube stabilisation
* You see the finished weld for precisely 0.003 nanoseconds
Certified mildly infuriating.
Does anyone sense see the metal bend slightly at each brush? I’m sure it’s not really but what makes it look like that?
Am i crazy or is that brush attached to a standard tig torch? I’ve cleaned plenty of welds but ive never seen an attachment like that. Any other welders here know what I’m saying?
My best guess is a reaction with some kind of acid? Anyone have more info?

Does anyone else find this incredibly satisfying?
Those are some sexy welds.
I worked in a metal shop that had this kind of machine. I can’t remember any of the details of the chemical reaction, but I vividly remember the stink. This process stinks.

Shoutout to OP for including a link in the bottom left!

Most people just use a wire brush but whatever
What in the fuck is that tool, and how do I get it.
I am not tech savvy, or I would do this myself, but someone, please put this in the oddly satisfying subreddit.

I used to be an electrolysist.
As someone with no knowledge of welding or the procedures involved in it….how can i make my whole life about this?

There should be a welding video of a SMAW weld soo good that the slag raises up off the weld in one piece. Those were always fun to make 🙂
What a satisfying job!
Not going to lie I have an erection and I’m not ashamed
This Old Tony used pickling gel in one of his videos, but this seems so much better!
Does it work on mild steel and aluminum?
Laser cleaning is IMO much more satisfying. Then again I may be biased
Why would you need to ‘clean’ a weld?

That’s some spicy sauceee
I imagined a sizzling sound as soon as I saw the first brush stroke.
I don’t see much of a difference.
This technology is outdated. Make room for laser cleaning.

Stainless steel weld passivation.
It’s done for corrosion resistance. Not just to look pretty.
Question: why do you have to clean welds specifically and not the whole structure? And does it have to be so hardcore, or will a wipe down with some cream cleaner also do the trick?
Hey neat we use these at work when we run stainless through the shop! This one looks like it works much better than the machine we use though…
I would love that for shop work but I can’t even begin to imagine how much that costs versus my $50 grinder.
Wauw
So satisfying. Nice clean weld.
I expected something more impressive to be honest….
Oddly satisfying.
Beats the hell out of a chipping hammer and wire brush!
