Flux Pastes – Part 1

Applications Flux Pastes are mainly used inside B-tubes and folded tubes, in order to provide a line of flux on a cladded surface. These paste formulations are available in FG (fine grade) version, the N version (“new” – i.e. with adjusted rheology and re-mixing characteristics) and UV version (ultraviolet sensitive pigments for special application monitoring). Metalized Flux Pastes (Brazing […]

Myths about Aluminium Brazing Fluxes – Part 2

In Myths about Aluminium Brazing Fluxes Part 1 we reported about the rumor that fluxes with a lower melting range are superior. Now we take a look to another Myths about Aluminium Brazing: Myth – A Flux with Smaller Particle Size is More “ACTIVE” and Leaves Less Flux Residue Some rumours have been spread that a […]

Myths about Aluminium Brazing Fluxes – Part 1

Myth – Fluxes With a Lower Melting Range are Superior There are claims that a lower melting point flux is better for brazing (i.e. melting between 550 and 560°C – approximately 10 – 15°C below conventional fluxes). The idea here is to try to fool the engineer by illustrating the merits of “early” flux melting, […]
