Fluxes are metal finishing aids that preserve surfaces, assure metal-to-metal contact and help strengthen the bond during joining operations like welding, brazing, and soldering. These joining operations occur at different temperatures. Welding steel involves fusion above the melting point at 2,000 °F. Brazing aluminum requires filling below the melting point at 800 °F. While soldering copper occurs at less than 800 °F. Our products are most often used in brazing fluxes for aluminum, silver other light metals. In formulating fluxes, proprietary mixtures of dry chemicals and water are wet-milled into a paste to meet particle and viscosity standards. Fluxes are applied by hand or machine by metal workers and fabricators just before or during joining.
