Safe, fast and easy to use
Replaces tinmans and blowpipe solders, fluid and
paste fluxes, killed spirits
Pre-cleaning is not normally necessary and the speed of its
fluxing actions ensures that the solder will flow between
laps by capillary action, giving maximum strength with the
minimum amount of solder.
Arax cored solder wire contains multiple cores of flux to
ensure flux continuity and more rapid flux flow than would
be obtained with a single central core. The flux is faster,
APPLICATIONS
Arax Cored Solder Wire is suitable for soldering to the
following materials.
鈥?Brass
鈥?Bronze
鈥?Cadmium plating
鈥?Copper
鈥?Galvanised ware
鈥?Iron
鈥?Lead
鈥?Mild steel
鈥?Nickel and nickel plating
鈥?Resistance wires (most types) 鈥?flux residues should
be removed)
鈥?Silver
鈥?Spring steel
鈥?Most stainless steels (using 96S Arax)
鈥?Tin plate
鈥?Zinc and zinc plating
yet less acidic than zinc chloride or similar liquid fluxes and
spitting is reduced.
Soldering with Arax cored wire is therefore simpler,
neater, safer and cleaner.
FLUX RESIDUES
The residues of the Arax flux would, under dry conditions,
be non-corrosive, however as the work is usually exposed
to humidity, the residues after soldering would, over a long
period of time, absorb moisture, becoming mildly
corrosive.
The residues should therefore be removed with water
(preferably warm), but where flame heating is employed the
flux will be extensively volatilised by the soldering
operation. In addition, it will not contaminate plating baths.
This flux residue, if not removed, is considerably less
corrosive than most separate fluid or paste fluxes.
Consequently, if Arax cored solder wire is being used in
place of stick solder and a fluid flux and the flux residue
was not previously removed, there should be no need to do
ADVANTAGES
Multicore Arax cored solder wire solders faster than using
solid solder with a separate flux since only one operation is
required which produces more uniform spreading of the
solder. The flux is automatically applied at the correct time,
in the correct proportion and in the correct place.
so when using Arax cored solder wire.
SUPPLY FORMS
Arax cored solder wire is available in a range of alloys and
wire diameters. Arax is also available as a separate liquid
or flux paste.
