Welding is used in many industries. In tank and container construction, vehicle superstructures, wagon construction, shipyards, pipeline construction - stable, permanent joints are essential everywhere, and can only be achieved through cleanly executed work. A botched seam can have far-reaching consequences and is relevant to safety.
Welding is used in many industries. In tank and container construction, vehicle superstructures, wagon construction, shipyards, pipeline construction - stable, permanent joints are essential everywhere. And this can only be achieved if the work is done cleanly. Botched seams can have far-reaching consequences and are relevant to safety. The use of quality tools, careful work and many years of experience are the best basis for approaching joining by welding correctly.
Regardless of the welding process used (TIG, MIG, MAG, plasma, electrodes), welders resort to surface preparation tools when chamfering the edge, preparing the weld zone or cleaning the welding layers.
Welding professionals know their craft and usually do not need to make corrections. In addition to proper technique, cleaning is key to removing slag inclusions between weld beads or spatter before applying the next weld ply. Bond defects, cracks or overlap? Then it may be necessary to grind out weld ply or level welds.
Not all welded parts have to win a beauty contest. But they do exist - the parts where, in addition to stability, appearance is important in the end. Creating a high-gloss look or a satin feel are the most common machining processes.
Osborn's tools cover all the processes that are essential, in addition to the actual welding, to deliver flawless, high-quality welding work.

Evolution
ATB® wheel brush with shank for direct adaption on several tool holders. Please ask our application technicians for open requests and general questions about the ATB® products.
Evolution
Individual disc brushes wound around a steel flange and with very narrow working widths.
Perfect
Cost-effective product for processing steel and wood. A tough, hard abrasive grain enables good removal rates, particularly when grinding surfaces. The glass fibre backing is characterised by an even grinding finish until the abrasive grain is completely consumed. No scratches appear on the workpiece.
Superior
Special flap disc with zirconium corundum. This abrasive grain cloth is less hard, but very tough, and gives the disc very good all purpose characteristics.
Perfect
All-round flap disc with zirconium corundum band on a cotton polyester cloth. Good removal rate and service life.
Superior
Top-quality zirconium flap disc. Well-suited for deburring, processing welding seams and surface grinding.Very balanced and universally applicable flap disc with brilliant removal rate and outstanding service life. For processing steel and stainless steel. A true four-star all-round disc.
Superior
Flap disc with self-sharpening ceramic grain, which permanently enables an extremely high removal rate and guarantees a long service life. Outstanding results for surface and edge grinding of steel or stainless steel. The robust polyester backing and a full resin bond with additives that actively support grinding guarantee that the abrasive grain on the backing remains resistant to wear, even under high stress. This makes CERA PLUS ideal for extreme grinding work or demanding special tasks.
