Flux For Brazing Mild Steel

Our fluxes are suitable for use on copper brass mild steel and most other common engineering materials.

Flux for brazing mild steel. Aluminum brazing with al solder stay clean aluminum soldering flux. Specializing in brazing and annealing for chromium alloys such as stainless steel we treat other materials as well including carbon steel mild steel and. Brazing steel soldering tutorial solder and flux by the harris products group. Notice how the proprietary flux coating melts and flows when the mild steel turns to a dull red indicating the proper moment to apply the silver brazing rod to the parent metal ssf 6 s high silver content 56 provides a perfect color match and better finish than mig welding with a bond of over 70 000 psi.

Special purpose fluxes exist for aluminium bronze stainless steel. Us forge welding gas welding rods flux coated low fuming bronze brazing rod 1 8 inch by 18 inch 8 pound 02232. For large areas heat portions of the joint to temperature and then move to the next adjacent area. Aluminum brazing with al braze albraze ec flux.

Brazing flux may be applied by dipping one or more components of an assembly into a container of flux. At the production site stainless steel should be stored separate from other metals. Low fuming bronze is a general purpose copper base alloy brazing rod used extensively for gas brazing steel copper alloys cast iron nickel alloys and stainless steel. Brazing techniques with bruce cheaney.

After brazing use a wire brush to clean the brazed surface to remove any oxidation or residue. In this case the flux has to be removed by a mild acid solution. For over 40 years franklin brazing has been a leader in the heat treating industry. Then the flux becomes totally saturated with oxides usually turning green or black.

Because the active temperature for the flux is the same as the active temperature for the alloy you can actually tell when your torch temperature is ideal for brazing. After you ve gotten rid of the flux use a pickling solution to remove any oxides that remain on areas that were unprotected by flux during the brazing process. The two pieces of metal i used are actu. Apply the brazing rod to the joint while continuing to heat the metal surfaces.
