Bristle materials

Bristle materialStrength N/mm²Diameter mmAttributesFields of application
Steel wire1.700-3.0000,08-0,80High tensile strength; high flexural fatigue strength; long service lifeFor deburring, derusting, descaling, roughening, paint stripping, stripping of insulation
Stainless steel wire2.000-2.4000,04-0,80High temperature resistance; low/no ferrite content; high chemical resistanceFor machining stainless steels and non-ferrous metals (aluminium, Cu, Me, etc.)
Brass-plated steel wire as mono wire2.400-2.6000,15-0,50High tensile strength; long service lifeFor light to medium-duty brushing and deburring of steel workpieces and woodworking
Brass-plated steel wire manufactured as stranded wire2.400-2.6000,15-0,50High tensile strength; high stability due to stranded wire; long service lifeFor heavy brushing and deburring work on steel workpieces, roughening of leather and rubber, wire and woodworking.
Stainless steel wire manufactured as stranded wire2.000-2.4000,20-0,35High tensile strength; high stability due to stranded wire; long service lifeFor heavy brushing and deburring work on stainless steel and non-ferrous metal workpieces.
KSC/Silicon carbide n/aGrain size: 36-2.000Polyamide bristles interspersed with silicon carbide; sharper, more aggressive grain than KAOFor edge rounding, deburring, woodworking, surface finishing on aluminium and non-ferrous metals; ideal for machining workpieces with contours, as the abrasive effect is also on the bristle surface
KAO/aluminium oxiden/aGrain size: 80-1.000 Polyamide bristles interspersed with aluminium oxide; rounder grain than KSCFor edge rounding, deburring, woodworking, surface finishing on aluminium and non-ferrous metals; ideal for working on workpieces with contours, as the abrasive effect is also on the bristle surface
Diamond grainn/aGrain size: 46-2.000Extremely hard grain; re-sharpening itselfEdge processing on high-strength materials, e.g. indexable inserts, carbide tools, etc.
Ceramic grainn/aGrain size: 80-600Aggressive, hard grain; good grinding and polishing propertiesFor edge and surface finishing on high-strength materials
Brass800-1.3000,06-0,50Soft non-ferrous wire; softer than steel wireMachining of surfaces on brass workpieces non-ferrous metals and wood
Nickel silver800-1.3000,06-0,50Soft non-ferrous wireHas very good polishing properties for brass and nickel silver workpieces
Copper800-1.3000,06-0,50Soft non-ferrous wireFor machining copper workpieces
Phosphor bronze800-1.3000,06-0,50Soft, low sparking wire; corrosion resistantWhen low-spark machining is required; for surface machining on metal and wood
Iron wire/Bessemern/a0,12-0,25Soft wireFor surface finishing / matting
