Flux For Low Temperature Aluminum Welding Flux is an additive used to facilitate lower melting points in metals and solders for the purpose of welding and soldering parts more easily. Flux is used in applications ranging from copper and aluminum brazing to electronics soldering. Type of metals to be welded or soldered will determine what type of flux should be used. For Aluminum welding, which requires extreme temperatures, it's not usually easy to do without special gear, or in these cases, chemicals. Aluminum flux uses advanced polymer chemistry to permit Aluminum welding and soldering without the need of powerful heating element. Aluminum flux comes in many varieties, depending on what's being soldered, be it a compound or just raw Aluminum. Nocolok Flux is a high quality Aluminum Flux used in Aluminum brazing applications, which is essentially high-temperature soldering. Aluminum is notoriously reactive with certain elements, and oxidizes very readily under proper conditions. Because of this it's imperative to have a carefully balanced flux as to not corrode the Aluminum or other metals in a compound. Nocolok Flux is designed to be non-corrosive, making it an industry leader for Aluminum brazing applications. There is more to flux than just attaching two metals, it is, in fact, a complex interaction of polymers that involves a great deal of chemical engineering to work. Aluminum flux is made of a few materials, namely a metal that will join the aluminum and a polymer that lets that metal melt at a low temperature. Many fluxes dissipate or burn-up in the process, leaving a clean bond, those that don't are sometimes included as a part of the chemical reaction to strengthen it or protect from oxidization. In certain scenarios the bonds are stronger than the two pieces of metal being joined. Polymers are a wide range of chemicals with many, many applications in areas from medicine to, obviously, metal working. One of the easiest ways to acquire necessary polymers is through a Polymer Importer. While many Asian and Indian companies will sell polymers of all sorts and in varying quantities it's good to note that they may not serve all applications. Quality Aluminum Flux, like Nocolok Flux is essentially a polymer but it's not so readily available. Nocolok is commonly sold to manufacturers making air conditioners or automotive cooling systems. While countless polymers can be imported for many applications a lot are lab specific or need licensing. This is due to intellectual property rights, where
many companies do not want secrets of their custom made compounds being spilled openly. To freely sell a market-cornering substance without licensing would permit competing labs to buy it and reverse engineer it into a competing product. As time goes on its almost guaranteed that there will is even more advanced polymers for higher quality brazing and soldering applications.
