Welding is the process of joining of two materials by using filler rod, while joining the materials the high amount of heat is generated in welding surface, so oxidation can take place over the job, in order to prevent the oxidation the flux material is coated over the welded area.
This flux coating is removed while send to the job for next operation like machining, painting etc, but it a terries process to clean the flux manually, and it need huge amount of skilled labor, in order to avoid that welding slag cleaning machine is used. This machine has a circular wire brush which is mounted over the shaft; this shaft is connected with electric motor.
The job is hold in the fixture, this fixture setup is moved by rack and pinion arrangement ,so by this too and fro motion job will move front and back against the job ,so job will automatically cleaned easily.
