wire brushing
Abrasive bristle cleaning
Wire brushing is scrubbing a surface with a brush that has stiff metal bristles, typically to remove rust, paint, scale, or corrosion: The welder wire-brushed the joint before starting.
The technique prepares metal for painting or welding by creating a clean surface.
Wire brushing can also refer to a drumming technique using wire brushes instead of wooden sticks for a softer, swishing sound.
