Handy
Flux - Paste
All purpose, low temperature flux for use in brazing both ferrous and non ferrous metals and alloys.
|
N/A |
 94K |
FB3A
|
Handy Flux is an active flouride/borate -type flux which begins to melt and dissolve oxides at 600°F (320°C). Fully molten at 1100°F (600°C), it provides excellent protection
of parts up to 1600°F (870°C). Cleanup shoul dbe with hot water.
|
1/2, 1 and 5 lb. (227, 454 g. and 2.27 kg.) jars. Also 25 and 50 lb. (11.34 and 22.68 kg.) pails.

For brazing high chromium stainless steels, tungsten and chromium carbides, and molybdenum alloys.
|
N/A |
 90K |
FB3C
|
Particularly in applications where a larger amount of refractory oxides may form, use Handy Flux Type B-1 (boron modified). Its temperature range is 1100° to 1700°F (600°-925°C).
It is valuable where local over-heating may occur, as in fast induction heating.
|
1 and 5 lb. (454 g. and 2.27 kg.). Also 25 and 50 lb. (11.34 and 22.68 kg.) pails.

For brazing aluminum bronze and other alloys containing small amounts of aluminum and/or titanium.
|
N/A |
 97K |
FB4A
|
Type A-1 will readily flux the difficult refractory oxides that form on these alloys. It is not recommended for use with aluminum or titanium base alloys. Active range 1100° to
1600°F (600° to 870°C).
|
1 lb. (454 g.) jars.

Handy
Flux Type LT - Paste
For applications with long heating cycles, such as many furnace brazing jobs.
|
N/A |
 90K |
N/A
|
More effective than a general purpose flux in long-heating cycle applications. Lower fluorine content results in higher melting temperature. More viscous, less active, but has a longer
life. Also useful for induction heating applications, where tendency to overheat may exist. Active range: 1200° to 1600°F (650° - 870°C).
|
1 lb. (454 g.) jars.
|
Handy

Handy
Flux Hi-Temp - Paste
Used where brazing temperatures go into the 1600° to 2000°F (870°- 1100°C) range or for considerable lengths of time above 1450°F. |
N/A |
 94K |
FB3D
|
This high temperature flux contains still less fluorine than type LT. It is often used with brazing alloys melting above 1600°F (870°C) - and provides the adherence and fluxing
action a general purpose flux cannot give at these temperatures.
|
1 lb. (454 g.) jars. Also 25 and 50 lb. (11.34 and 22.68 kg.) pails.

N/A |
 90K |
FB3D

Particularly useful where refractory oxides are formed on the metals being joined. This added capability results from the addition of a small amount of finely powdered boron to the
flux.
