The background of electrostatic flux application: When controlled atmosphere brazing with non-corrosive fluxes was introduced, the only realistic method for using the flux was wet application. This strategy was supported by the physical and chemical properties of flux powder. Non-corrosive fluxes for aluminum brazing consist of potassium fluoroaluminates (inorganic fluorides) with low water solubility. […]
Introduction: This article summarizes some experimental results of a project on electrostatic application of non-corrosive fluxes for aluminum brazing. The objective is to qualify and quantify flux powder properties and equipment parameters with positive effect for dry flux technology. For more than 30 years, controlled atmosphere brazing (CAB) [NOCOLOK ® Flux brazing] has been […]

Brazing Issues Folded tubes (or B-type tubes) for radiators have been developed several years ago. There are slightly different designs patented by most of the heat exchanger manufacturers. Below illustrations show three different B tube designs: The folded tubes are produced from brazing sheet coils by a multi-step roll forming process – bringing the sheet […]

What is NOCOLOK® Cs Flux (SM)? (Synthesized Material) NOCOLOK® Cs Flux is used for brazing of aluminium alloys with higher magnesium levels. The Cs flux currently available for CAB (Controlled Atmosphere Brazing – furnace brazing) is a technical mixture (i.e. a mechanical blend) of K-Al-F flux (NOCOLOK® Flux) with Cs-Al-F flux – this product is offered […]
April 27 – 28, 2017 in Monterrey, Mexico The Solvay Invitational Aluminium Brazing Seminar brings together both suppliers and manufacturers in NAFTA’s growing industrial centre in Monterrey, Mexico. The Purpose To further promote aluminium brazing technology by means of presentations, comments and technical discussions. To provide numerous opportunities to establish or strengthen business relationships, […]
Go to Flux Pastes – Part 1 Properties NOCOLOK® flux and brazing pastes offer numerous advantages that distinguish them from other products. 1. Solvent system Use of systems miscible with water and glycols Equipment and facilities used for paste application can be easily cleaned with water If required, the setting or adjustment of viscosities is possible […]
