Brazing, Welding & Soldering Fluxes &
Pastes
There are special fluxes for welding, soldering and brazing.
Saru Silver is involved with the manufacturing and exporting of varied
fluxes and pastes which are used in brazing, welding and soldering. Our
fluxes are in the form of paste or powder and widely applicable for
various joining process. It is very important to use the right flux for
the right purpose because the use of the wrong flux or a poor
application technique can have a significant bad effect on joint
quality. Brazing flux plays an important role in virtually all brazing
processes. Soldering fluxes are usually categorized as corrosive,
non-corrosive or intermediate. However, the choice depends on the
melting range of the solder, the metals being joined, and whether the
residues are to be removed after soldering. Similarly there are special
fluxes for welding.

Super Flux-A (Powder) |
This is an all purpose , low temperature
flux. It is used in brazing both ferrous and non-ferrous metals.
It is also used in alloys using silver brazing filler metals.
The flux in powder form begins to melt and dissolve oxides at
340°C. At about 600°C, it is fully molten and provides
adequate protection upto 750°C. Such type of flux is
excellent in hot rodding operation. It is used to braze weld
where the hot brazing rod is moved into the dry powder. It is
easily cleaned in hot water. |

Equivalent to ESAB's Rupatam A flux |

Super Flux-A1 (Powder) |
Such type of flux is used for applications
where a dry low volatile flux is need. When the temperature is
in 650-815°C range, it is recommended for use. It is
excellent in hot rodding operations and can easily be cleaned. |

Equivalent to Handy Dry Flux 6040. |

Super Flux-A (Paste) |
This again is a general purpose, low
temperature flux. This type of flux provides excellent adhesion
and creamy smooth consistency. It is used for brazing all
ferrous and non-ferrous alloys. The flux begins to melt and
dissolves oxides at 320°C. It is fully molten at 600°C
and excellent protection of parts upto 870°C is provided.
It is easily cleaned with hot water. |

Equivalent to Handy Flux (Paste) |

Super Flux Type D & DB (Slurry) |
Having the same formulations as Super Flux-A
(Paste), it is used for automatic dispensing as controlled dabs
or sprays. There are additives in this flux to provide a lower
(pourable) viscosity. Type DB flux has an additional ingredient
for use with more refactory oxides, as seen in automated brazing
of carbides. |

Equivallent to Handy Flux Type D & DB (Slurry). |

Super Flux-B (Powder/Paste) |
Available in both powder and paste form. It
is used for brazing high chromium stainless steels, chromium and
tungsten carbides, and molybdenum alloys. The temperature range
is 600-925°C. Such type of flux is useful in applications
where local overheating may occur, as in fast induction heating.
|

Equivalent to Handy Flux Type B-1 |

Super Flux-C (Powder/Paste) |
Available in both powder and paste form. It
is used for brazing aluminium-silicon bronze (A1-7, Si2,
Cu-bal.), aluminum bronze (A1-5 to 8,Cu-bal.), and
nickle-aluminium-bronze(A1-9.5, Ni-5, Fe-2.5, Mn-1, Cu-bal.)
using silver brazing filler metals. This flux is not recommended
for use with aluminum or titanium-base alloys. |

Equivalent to Handy Flux Type A-1. |

Super Flux-D (Powder/Paste) |
Like in furnace brazing, this is used for
applications with long heating cycles. It is also used in
induction heating operations, where there is the tendency of
overheating. Active range: 650-870°C. |

Equivalent to Handy Flux Type LT. |

Super Flux Hi- Temp |
This type of flux is used where brazing
temperature is in the range 870-1100°C or for long periods
of time above 785°C. |

Equivalent to Handy Hi- Temp Flux. |

Super Flux-E (Liquid) |
This flux is in liquid form. It is used for
blazing in furnaces with poor atmosphere . Super flux E is used
for joining jewelry parts above 625°C. This is basically
used where only a limited fluxing ability is required. |

Equivalent to Handy Liquid Flux. |

Super Flux Hi-Temp M (Powder/Paste) |
It is used in the brazing of carbides,
stainless steels, alloy steels, and nickel based alloys using
gold and copper alloys filler metals. The required brazing
temperature is between 900 and 1200°C. |

Equivalent to Handy Flux Hi-Temp M. |

Super Flux-BRS (Powder) |
This type of flux is used for brazing or
fusion welding various ferrous and non-ferrous metals. It is
also used in alloys like cast iron, steels, brass etc. using
Cu-Zn (brass) filler metals. |

Equivalent to ESAB's Brazotectic Flux. |

Super Flux BRZ (Powder) |
This flux in powdered form is used for
brazing various ferrous and non-ferrous metals and alloys using
Cu-Sn (bronze) based filler metals. |

Equivalent to ESAB's Bronzotectic Flux. |

Alumibraze-A (Powder) |
Used for brazing aluminum and its alloys
using A1-12%Si filler metal. |

Equivalent to ESAB's Albratectic Flux. |

Alumibraze-B (Powder) |
It is similar to Alumibraze-A. It becomes
active at a lower temperature which minimizes damage to the
aluminum base metal. Such type of flux is suitable for brazing
thin sections. |

Equivalent to Handy Flo-700 Flux. |

Alumiweld (Powder) |
This flux is used for welding aluminum and
its alloys. |

Equivalent to ESAB's Alotectic Flux. |

Stainweld (Liquid) |
Stainweld is used for welding stainless
steels using niobium and other stainless steel rods. |

Equivallent to ESAB's Botectic Flux. |

Castweld-A (Powder) |
For welding cast iron. |

Equivalent to ESAB's Castox Flux. |

Cupopaste-A |
This flus is a copper brazing paste for
furnacing brazing steels. |

|

Solderflux-A (Paste) |
Used for soldering applications. Active
range: 260-425°C. |

Equivalent to Handy Flux Type TEC. |
