Chipping Hammers & Picks — Welding Slag Removal Tools
Chipping hammers and picks are essential post-weld tools for removing slag, spatter, and surface scale from welds and castings. AIMS Industrial sells chipping hammers and spring-handle picks for MMA stick welding slag removal, casting cleaning, and surface preparation — hardened steel heads for high-impact slag chipping in fabrication, welding shops, and maintenance operations.
Chipping Hammers & Picks We Stock
- Chipping Hammers — Flat & Pointed Head: Standard chipping hammers with a flat face on one end and a pointed pick on the other — the flat face removes wide slag deposits from flat welds and fillet welds; the pointed pick chips slag from corner joints, roots, and confined weld positions.
- Spring Handle Chipping Hammers: Spring-handle (coil spring) chipping hammers reduce hand vibration and impact rebound transmission to the operator — a practical ergonomic improvement for high-volume welding operations. The spring handle absorbs impact energy that would otherwise transmit to the wrist and forearm.
- Curved Pick Chipping Hammers: Curved pick hammers for reaching into T-joints, corner joints, and pipe socket welds where a straight pick cannot access the root face. The curved pick accesses undercut areas and internal weld surfaces without requiring awkward hammer angle.
- Wire Brush Combination Tools: Chipping hammer and wire brush combination tools that provide both slag chipping and wire brushing in one tool — a standard post-weld tool in MMA stick welding operations where both operations are performed between passes and at weld completion.
Chipping Hammer Use & Selection
- Head Hardness: Chipping hammer heads should be manufactured from hardened tool steel — soft heads deform and lose their chipping profile quickly when striking hard slag deposits. Check that the head is hardened and not simply carbon steel painted to look hardened.
- Handle Design for Vibration: Spring handles reduce operator fatigue in high-volume welding operations. If using a chipping hammer for extended periods, a spring handle is a worthwhile investment for WHS-managed hand-arm vibration reduction.
- Eye Protection Required: Always wear safety glasses or face shield when chipping welding slag — hardened slag fragments fly unpredictably at high velocity. Refer to our face protection and eye protection range for appropriate PPE.
