Solar Flux
The unique welding backup flux for better, faster, easier, lower cost welds in stainless steel and high nickel alloys, SOLAR FLUX is a complex chemical compound in the form of a very fine powder. When mixed with alcohol (methanol/methyl alcohol preferred) and brushed on the back of the weld joint, SOLAR FLUX is formulated to shield the BACK of the weld joint from oxygen, dissipate heat and unwanted oxides, and clean the surface of the metal. SOLAR FLUX aids in the flow of filler metal over base metal and forms a protective barrier to prevent re-oxidation and heat scale.
SOLAR FLUX is available in two types.
Solar Flux Type B: For welding all steels, especially stainless steels, except high nickel alloys (those containing over 25% nickel)
Solar Flux Type I: for welding high nickel alloys (those with a nickel content of 25% or higher)
