摘要:
A flux powder which has satisfactory spreading properties when used in brazing magnesium-containing aluminum materials. It is noncorrosive, highly safe, relatively inexpensive, highly economical, and generally usable extensively. It is an improved flux powder for use in the brazing of aluminum materials having a magnesium content of 0.1-1.0 wt.%. It comprises KAlF 4 , K 2 AlF 5 , and K 2 AlF 5 ·H 2 O. It is characterized in that it has composition in which the K/Al molar ratio is 1.00-1.20, the F/Al molar ratio is 3.80-4.10, and the total content of K 2 AlF 5 and K 2 AlF 5 ·H 2 O is 6.0-40.0 wt.%, with the remainder being KAlF 4 , and that part or all of the crystal structure of the K 2 AlF 5 ·H 2 O is at least one of K-deficient type, F-deficient type, and K- and F-deficient type crystal structures.
