Removing welds in aluminium inside corners

Welds in inside corners or 2D corners call for a different approach than flat surfaces. Because of the limited space and difficult access, the precision and adaptability of the abrasive are crucial.

How to remove a weld in an aluminium inside corner in 3 steps

1

Remove the weld with the TA10

Work with light pressure and let the wheel follow the corner instead of pushing it into the corner. This prevents grooves in the side walls.

2

Remove grinding marks

If grinding marks remain, remove them with the SAG unitized disc.

3

Prepare for painting

If the workpiece needs to be painted, make the surface even with the 331GR film grip disc in grit 80 or 120.

Frequently asked questions about removing a weld in an aluminium inside corner

How do you remove a weld seam in an aluminium inside corner?

In an inside corner or 2D corner, space is limited, so you need an abrasive that works precisely and adapts to the corner. Thanks to its sturdy grain structure, the TA10 wheel removes material efficiently without clogging quickly, and gives a smooth, even finish.

How do you avoid damaging the side walls of an inside corner?

Work with light pressure and let the wheel follow the corner instead of pushing it into the corner. Move evenly along the weld and check the result regularly. This prevents you from grinding grooves or scratches into the side walls.

How do you finish an inside corner after removing the weld?

If grinding marks remain, remove them with the SAG unitized disc. If the workpiece needs to be painted, make the surface even with the 331GR film grip disc in grit 80 or 120.
