I'd suggest a stainless steel rotary brush and a high speed grinder, if
you cannot bead blast the weld areas. Clean the areas to be brushed thououghy
with MEK or acetone before brushing, and clean the brush often in MEK or
acetone, to avoid spreading any oil or grease.
Change wiping cloths or paper towels often to avoid any build up in your
cloth.
