Lomelt® B Flux Powder is a medium-temperature silver brazing flux for joining steel, stainless steel, copper, copper alloys, nickel, and nickel alloys. This Brass Brazing Powder Flux has an activity range of 600°C to 870°C and is suitable for dissimilar metal joints. It works well with hot rod applications and is designed for use with high- to medium-silver, cadmium-free BAg alloys and BCuP group alloys.
Lomelt® B is supplied as a powder flux for silver brazing work. Its high activity helps it work across the stated temperature range. The powder also has very high fluidity, which supports good movement of the flux around the joint area.
The product is suitable for several base metals used in brazing work:
Steel and stainless steel
Copper and copper alloys
Nickel and nickel alloys
Dissimilar metal combinations
Applications using hot rod
This range of metal options makes Lomelt® B useful where different base metals need to be joined with a suitable filler alloy.
Lomelt® B has an activity range of 600°C to 870°C. The flux should be selected along with the base metal and filler alloy so that their working temperatures match the active range of the flux.
Its product properties include:
Medium-temperature operation
High activity
Very high fluidity
Excellent capillary action
Medium flux life
The combination of high fluidity and capillary action makes Lomelt® B suitable for brazing joints where the flux needs to move through the joint area during heating.
Lomelt® B can be used with BAg high- to medium-silver cadmium-free brazing alloys and BCuP group alloys. The filler alloy should have a working temperature that suits the flux activity range.
The correct combination of flux and filler alloy is important for consistent brazing work. Lomelt® B provides a medium-temperature option for applications that fall within its 600°C to 870°C range.
Lomelt® B is made for applications that need a powder flux with high activity and very high fluidity. It is also suitable for dissimilar metal brazing among the listed base metals.

Lomelt® B offers a practical powder flux option for brazing jobs involving copper, copper alloys, steel, stainless steel, nickel, and nickel alloys. Its 600°C to 870°C activity range supports medium-temperature silver brazing applications.
The powder form, high activity, excellent capillary action, and very high fluidity make it suitable for the listed brazing processes. It can also be used for dissimilar metal joints when the selected filler alloy and working temperature are suitable.
As a Brass Brazing Powder Flux, Lomelt® B can be considered for applications involving copper-based materials and BCuP group filler alloys, along with the other compatible metals and alloys listed for the product.
Lomelt® B leaves corrosive residues after brazing, so the residue should be removed after the joint has been completed. The product page recommends soaking the brazed area and then brushing it under hot water to clean the remaining flux.
Lomelt® B Flux Powder is available in 500 g standard packing, making it suitable for brazing applications that need a ready-to-use powder flux in a practical pack size.
For users looking for Brass Brazing Powder Flux, Lomelt® B provides a medium-temperature powder option with a 600°C to 870°C activity range, high activity, very high fluidity, and excellent capillary action for compatible brazing applications.
