    Flux for aluminum soldering

    A method for soldering aluminum developed by the U.S. company AlCoR where an extremely dry atmosphere with a dew-point between -35°C and -45°C is generated in the brazing furnace, making it possible to solder aluminum in air. This method has the advantage of making the lowest possible use of a fluxing agent, and thus facilitating cleaning after soldering.

    Flux for aluminum soldering

    The soldering of aluminum is very expensive. In the present state, the following soldering flux quantities are used (unit: ounce, oz):

    1. Cadmium fluorobromide
    5 oz
    Fluorobromic acid 5
    Diethanolamine 20
    Diethanoldiamine 4
    Diethanoltriamine 10
    1. Potassium chloride
    45 oz
    Sodium chloride 30
    Potassium fluoride 7
    Sodium pyrophosphate 3
    1. Triethanolamine
    25 oz
    Fluorobromic acid 3
    Cadmium fluoro-hydrogen chloride 2
    1. Stannous chloride
    44 oz
    Ammonium chloride 5
    Sodium fluoride 1
    1. Zinc chloride
    44 oz
    Ammonium chloride 5
    Sodium fluoride 1
     In addition, the following fluxing agents are used in paste form(unit: ounce, oz):
    Stannous chloride 83 oz
    Zinc hydrazine dichloride (hygroscopic and water soluble) 7
    Hydrobromic acid hydrazine 10
    Water 10
