Alubraze Flux Powder is utilized for welding aluminium, aluminium-magnesium and aluminium-silicon. It is a universal chloride-fluoride sheet and cast aluminium welding and brazing powder flux. It is primarily used with gas-oxygen torches, but may be employed in some selective induction and furnace applications as well. The activity of Alubraze lies between 550°C and 650°C.
Alubraze is made for different aluminium welding and brazing needs. It can be used with sheet aluminium as well as cast aluminium. The product is also suitable for aluminium alloys containing magnesium and silicon.
It is used for:
Aluminium
Aluminium-magnesium alloys
Aluminium-silicon alloys
Sheet aluminium
Cast aluminium
The main heating method is a gas-oxygen torch or flame. The product can also be used in selected induction and furnace applications.
Flux Type and Activity Range
Alubraze is a general-purpose chloride-fluoride-based powder flux. Its activity range is 550°C to 650°C.
This temperature range is set to allow the flux to be used in the welding and brazing of aluminium. It dissolves the coating of oxide on the base metal. It also assists in getting rid of porosity and a strong joint is encouraged.
Key product details are:
Powder flux
Chloride-fluoride based
Activity range of 550°C to 650°C
For sheet and cast aluminium
For welding and brazing
Alubraze is used mainly with gas-oxygen torches. It can also be used in selected induction and furnace applications.
Alubraze can be used with three aluminium filler alloy groups listed for the product. These are AL1188, AL4043, and AL5356.

The 500 g and 20 kg packing options provide a choice based on the required quantity of flux.
Alubraze leaves water-soluble corrosive flux residues after use. These residues must be removed from the weld or brazed joint area after welding or brazing.
The company recommends the following cleaning process:
Dip the joint area in dilute nitric acid.
Rinse with cold water.
Rinse again with hot water.
This process is used to clean the flux residues left after the welding or brazing work.
Alubraze Flux Powder is an all-purpose powder flux for sheet and cast aluminium. It is applied on aluminium, aluminium-magnesium and aluminium-silicon alloys. The activity range of the product is 550°C to 650°C and is compatible with gas-oxygen torches.
It may be employed with pure, brittle filler alloys such as AL1188, AL4043 and silicon and magnesium filler alloys with 5% filler. The oxide coating on the base metal dissolves in Alubraze and contributes to a strong joint, as well as assisting in removing porosity.
For users selecting Alubraze Flux Powder, the product is available in 500 g and 20 kg packs. Its water-soluble corrosive residues must be removed after use by following the stated cleaning process.
