The NOCOLOK® International Brazing Seminar will provide information concerning the manufacturing practices commonly used for brazing operations and, in particular, will address the three fundamental aspects of the industrial-scale brazing of aluminium.
Thermal management of electric vehicles is faced with challenges, as batteries need to be kept at a defined temperature range between 15°C and 35°C in order to function at peak performance throughout the life of a vehicle. The manufacture of such battery cooling systems involves controlled atmosphere brazing technology using noncorrosive flux. OEMs develop different battery cooler designs that require adapted fluxing methods.

During recent years, gel blockage in engine coolant systems with aluminum heat exchangers produced by CAB has gotten more and more attention in the automotive industry. A general understanding of gel formation processes in engine coolants and the role that flux residues on internal surfaces of brazed heat exchangers may or may not have is of significant interest.
The pandemic situation these days forces us to do things in a different way and to be more innovative. Therefore, the 20th annual technical training event was organized as a Google Meet Webinar – on 2 days tailored for NAM and Asia time zones beginning of November 2020.
On October 8th & 9th, 2019 – for the 18th time since 2001 – the Aluminium Brazing Seminar took place at Solvay Fluor in Hanover (Germany). There was a ‘full house’ with 31 participants from 12 countries – representing 15 companies – plus 5 Solvay participants joining this technical training.
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 under the name NOCOLOK® Cs Flux (TM): Technical Mixture.
The new NOCOLOK® Cs Flux (SM) is a fully synthesized material – i.e. a unique and homogenous product. The Cs is completely embedded in a Cs-K-Al-F matrix during the manufacturing process.
When comparing the characteristics and application of blended Cs Flux „(TM)“ with synthesized material „(SM)“, there are notable advantages of the new quality:
NOCOLOK® Cs Flux (SM) is on stock at our Wimpfen facility and available right away.
For a number of years, more and more countries are converting their existing chemical regulations or are implementing new regulations. In many cases, these regulations can be considered as an adaption of the European REACH Regulation. A registration of chemical substances or reaction masses is required, including comprehensive material data sets and risk assessment.
Solvay appreciates and supports these new product safety initiatives.
As a consequence, however, this leads to that in order to fulfill all regulatory requirements new products can only be introduced stepwise to other countries.
NOCOLOK® Cs Flux (SM) has already been successfully registered according to the European REACH Regulation and can be used without restriction within the European Union. Please also refer to our Safety Data Sheet, which is available on request. Registration for other countries/regions will be done successive.
