    Image of Product. Front orientation. Brazing Flux. Brazing Flux for Nickel and Carbide.
    Use this flux with silver and copper-based brazing alloys to clean and prepare surfaces. It is boron modified and residue washes off with hot water. Do not use it with titanium.
    2,200° F Maximum Temperature—Flux with a 2200° F max. temperature lasts longer during brazing thanks to its low boron content, so it’s great for use on large carbide parts. It works particularly well with RBCuZn brazing alloys.
