$30.99----Free Shipping 6 oz. Solar Flux Type B ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- We Ship Worldwide For most job shop and maintenance welders who do a variety of welding on different types of materials on a daily basis and do not necessarily work on stainless steel all the time, I can tell you one thing from my experience that a one pound can will last for a very long time. That is why I am offering you an opportunity to purchase this same great product in 2oz., 4oz., 6oz., and 8oz. air tight packs and this will provide the opportunity for you to purchase only what you need and use the savings on other necessary welding paraphernalia. We’re all looking for ways to save money in our welding businesses, and one of the best ways is to cut costs of consumables! I have been in the welding business for 39 + years and have welded many different types of metals and I discovered Solar Flux back in 1983 and as a result began to take on stainless steel welding jobs that I otherwise could not have successfully repaired. The Solar Flux more than pays for itself on each and every job that normally requires back purging, and protection for the backside of your weld. Good Welding Steve ___________________________________________________________________________________________________ On Sale, 6 oz. Solar Flux Type B $30.99 Fast and Free Shipping!!! Solar Flux Type B for Stainless Steel & High Chromium Steel. See what others are saying about Solar Flux in my feedback profile! Properly mixed and applied 2 oz. should cover approximately 70 lineal feet. This package contains enough Solar Flux to cover about (210' total). As always your purchased item is carefully packaged and sealed for ultimate protection during shipment! I usually ship the same day or the very next day after item is paid for! I have been using this Welding Process on my Stainless Steel Welds for over 20 Years! This is one of those Trade Secrets that will help you make better welds and increase your profits! From my experience as a specialty welder, I believe every welder who ever welds on Stainless Steel should have a can of Solar Flux in his or her toolbox! The shielding gas or the flux in the electrode only protects the front of the weld. In thin wall material, or when making the root pass in thicker material, you must either use Solar Flux or Back-Purge with Argon Gas to drive out the Oxygen, Float out unwanted Oxides, and Dissipate the heat on the back of the weld. If not, you get a sugary, porous weld, and burn-through. The front of the weld will look good; but you’ll see the difference when you look at the back. Solar Flux has been producing X-Ray Quality Welds in Stainless Steel for over 50 years. It is often preferred over argon back-purging gas for its ease of use, speed, simplicity and low cost. Other variables being the same, either Solar Flux or Backing Gas will produce the same quality Weld. Solar Flux is a very fine powder which mixed with alcohol, or the preferred methanol (methyl alcohol, you can find it in local automotive stores); remove a small amount and mix into a thick paste just before use. It can be used with any Gas or Arc Welding Process, ie; TIG, MIG, SMAW. It comes in two types: Type B for Stainless Steel and/or High Chromium Steel; and Type I for high (over 25%) Nickel Alloys. Welding is done using the same procedure that would be used with Argon Backing Gas. When the green flag drops at the Indy 500, Solar Flux is in the Welding Garage-----Just in case any Stainless Steel components, especially Exhaust Manifolds, need Welding. Solar Flux was developed prior to World War II by the Solar Aircraft Company, San Diego, California, for use in the manufacturing of Stainless Steel Exhaust Manifolds for U.S. Navy aircraft engines and was a closely-guarded military secret. After the war, patents were obtained and Solar Flux was marketed internationally. Solar Flux is inert, non-flammable, and non-explosive and can be shipped in any quantity by any means of transportation. AWS/ANSI code: See Structural Welding Code---Stainless Steel. AWS D1.6:1999 Backing required for welder performance qualification (WPQ) and flux backing acceptable, Sections 3.29 and 4.8.7. Type B conforms to Mil-F-7516B (class 2 & 4) for welding Stainless Steel by any Gas or Arc Method. The shelf life is infinite as long as it hasn’t been mixed with fluid and remains in a closed can. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ A little Solar Flux goes a long way: 2 oz. properly mixed and applied will cover approximately 70 lineal feet. ___________________________________________________________________________________________ Common Applications: Pipe and Tube Welding, Maintenance Welding, In Field Welding, One of a Kind Welds, Unusual Shapes and Configurations, Large Diameter Pipes and Ducts, Various Aircraft and Jet Engine Repairs, and many more. Technical Information & Specifications are enclosed with each order. Instructions for use, Place your material on something so the underneath side of the joint is not touching the workbench. You do not need any kind of backing plate or block! It works best when nothing is touching the joint, but it will still weld fine, if you don't have a choice. You might check your machine settings and run a short bead on a piece of scrap to make sure your set-up properly, ie; gas pressure, amps, polarity, hi-freq, etc, etc. It doesn't matter if you are TIG welding, MIG welding, or Stick welding. Provided that one can run a half-way decent bead on stainless steel, you will be absolutely amazed at how much more control you will have over your puddle, the heat dissipation, the perfect penetration, (the flux will help support the underside). Done properly you will actually have a nice looking bead on the backside! To clean up after welding use a chipping hammer or a cold chisel (that's what I use) and just tap away the hard flux coating where the Solar Flux was applied. Use a 2" stainless steel wire brush in a cordless drill. Brush the front and back side of the weld. You will notice a thin residue left on your seam. Use alcohol or methanol to wipe most of it away. To chemically clean the stainless steel and return it back to it's original color with no heat coloring, you will want to use a stainless steel pickling compound. One can make it himself, there are recipes, or you can use Wonder Gel from Bradford Derustit Corp. USPS First Class Mail Package is the primary shipping method for this listing.
