FLUX 028
FLUX 028 flux pastes contain Flux 2805 non-corrosive flux as the active component. Cesium complex is added to some variants. The cesium is very effective at managing high magnesium and high copper content in aluminum alloys used. These paste can also be enhanced with a UV marker.
The cesium complex component is active at the same temperature range as the magnesium and copper in modern aluminum alloys. It prevents magnesium and copper oxides from forming on the component surfaces.
The post braze flux residues are non-corrosive, they do not need to be removed or chemically neutralized.
These pastes are widely used in flame, induction and controlled atmosphere braze furnace operations. Typically applied to braze critical joints by dispense, brush or, in some cases, by spray application. Used in joint situations where filler metal is present in the form of a clad layer, filler metal shim or wire pre-forms.
Connector block, containing Mg, to header pipe during furnace braze is improved by applying Flux 028/55 Cs2 to the joint area. Pipe to connector brazing is made easy by using these pastes.
Flux 028 Cs/D, in conjunction with AlZn filler wire, is especially useful for low temperature (420 oC -560 oC) flame brazing.
Products are supplied as ready for use, requiring stirring only. No component mixing is required.
