Let’s have a look at how you can do weld preparation and finishing in 4 easy steps on Carbon Steel. In summary:
- Cutting Off – with Norton Quantum Ultra Thin Cut
- Cleaning – with Norton Blaze Rapid Strip
- Bevelling – with Norton Quantum Fibre Discs
- Weld Seam Removal – with Norton Vulcan Flap Discs
STEP 1 – CUTTING-OFF
Norton Quantum cutting off wheels are easy to use, easy to steer and deliver consistent results. No dust, no smell so the process is more comfortable.
Norton Quantum is a very comfortable disc to use, offering the longest life on the market.
STEP 2 – CLEANING
Blaze Rapid Strip discs are best used at a 10-15° angle to quickly eliminate unwanted coatings and corrosion, with minimal stock removal. It’s a truly versatile product, as you can achieve a more aggressive action as you increase the pressure. It’s comfortable to use without damaging or gouging components.
STEP 3 – BEVELLING
Norton Quantum F996 Fibre discs in P36 combined with a hard serrated back-up pad is the best option. It’ll remove material quickly, and the flat contact area makes it easy to control and help generate the required angle.
STEP 4 – WELD SEAM REMOVAL
After welding, use a Norton Vulcan R842 in grit P60 to quickly remove the weld seam and generate a finish ready for paint or other surface coatings.
