Get the kind you can put in a 4 1/2" mini-grinder and then you can clean them in like 2 minutes. Just clamp the flange to a bench and have at it. They will eat anything off of the flanges, rust, paint, you name it, it will come off.

a caustic stripper type chemical.

if walter is talking about mill scale, which im pretty sure he is, a wire brush even one that goes on a grinder will not take that stuff off.
40gr flap wheel and 30 seconds you got a fresh clean surface.

i will use belt sander on all my flanges to get a nice even surface. It is clearly cosmetic but works well just don't expect it to be a quick process.

I typically hit just the weldment area lightly with the angle grinder til it's shiny. Takes about 4.7 seconds.
