Stainless Steel Metal Brushes
Type 304 and 316 stainless steels are an ideal filament for custom wire brushes for wet and no rust applications in a variety of sizes, both straight or crimped.
Stainless steel brushes are highly corrosion- and heat-resistant. Unlike carbon steel, stainless steel does not leave after-rust deposits when used on stainless steel, aluminium, and other high-strength alloys. However, once used on carbon steel it cannot be used on stainless steel or rusting can occur.
Stainless steel brushes are generally used in corrosive environments for general purpose cleaning, rust removal, deburring, edge blending, and roughing for adhesion. Stainless Steel is FDA approved and widely used in medical wire brushes, pharmaceutical metal brushes, industrial wire brushes and food service wire brushes.
Hastalloy B3 Metal Brushes
A Nickel-Molybdenum alloy with excellent corrosion resistance to hydrochloric acid at all concentrations and temperatures, this exotic material is used when 316 stainless steel does not have the corrosion resistance properties required in certain applications.
Metal brushes made from Hastalloy B3 can withstand sulphuric, acetic, formic and phosphoric acids and other non-oxidising media, resisting pitting corrosion and stress corrosion cracking.

Carbon Steel Metal Brushes
Custom wire brushes made from carbon steel are available both as tempered and non-tempered options, in a variety of sizes, and both straight or crimped.
This is a widely used metal fill material for wire brushes. It has excellent cutting ability and fatigue resistance for long metal wire brush life at a low cost.
Metal brushes made from carbon steel are used for general-purpose cleaning, rust removal, deburring, edge blending, and roughing for adhesion. Please note, we DO NOT supply Carbon brushes for motors.
Brass Metal Brushes
The softest metal fibre available, custom wire brushes made from brass can be straight or crimped and are commonly used for light to medium cleaning and luster finishing.
Phosphor Bronze Metal Brushes
Phosphor bronze is non-sparking and about 1/5 as conductive as copper. It is stronger than brass, lasts longer and resists corrosion and fatigue due to flexing.
