Crimped Wire Brushes
Crimped Wire Brushes
A M Associates offers crimped wire brushes.
- The crimping of crimped brush wires allows the bristles to better support each other than straight bristles
- Crimped wire brushes are less aggressive than knot type, and best for light to medium cleaning and material removal; two main factors create performance variations between crimped wire brushes: brush width and steel hardness
- As discussed above, increased face width will produce more aggression; for wire brushes, steel hardness is usually measured on the Rockwell scale, which measures the ‘indentation resistance’ of materials
- Rockwell hardness measurements are abbreviated ‘Rc’, followed by a hardness number. Most crimped wire brushes are manufactured with steel between Rc 30 and Rc 60; the higher the Rc measurement, the harder the steel.
