HARRIS Product S0FB01 Solar Flux Type B Welding Flux 1 lb Can

HARRIS Solar Flux Type B is a proprietary blended complex chemical compound in the form of a very fine powder designed for professional TIG welding applications on stainless steel and alloy steels. This flux can be used as a back purge flux to eliminate purging on small jobs, making it an economical alternative to argon back purging.

Key Features:

• Mixed with alcohol (methanol preferred) and brushed on the back of the weld joint
• Formulated to shield the back of the weld joint from oxygen, dissipate heat and unwanted oxides
• Infinite shelf life in dry powder state and unaffected by freezing
• No flash-point and non-explosive
• Two ounces properly mixed and applied covers 80 linear feet of joints
• Welding activity range 2000°F - 2900°F (1093°C - 1593°C)

Applications:

Type B is best used for welding stainless steel, precipitation hardening steels, chrome-moly steels, and other alloy steels with a nickel content below 25%. Composition includes 6 to 12% Quartz (SiO2) and Silver. This flux aids in the flow of filler metal over base metal while forming a protective barrier to prevent re-oxidation and heat scale.
