When your brazing project involves stainless steel or carbide tooling, standard flux just won't cut it. You need the robust performance of Lucas Milhaupt Handy Flux Type B-1. Available in a convenient 1 lb jar, this flux is the go-to solution for welders and fabricators who demand superior protection and wetting action during high-temperature brazing operations. Whether you are repairing heavy machinery, fabricating custom stainless parts, or tipping drill bits, Handy B-1 ensures your silver solder flows smoothly and bonds securely.
The magic of Handy B-1 lies in its ability to withstand heat. While ordinary fluxes burn off or lose potency during long heating cycles, B-1 stays active from 1100°F all the way up to 1700°F. This extended range is a lifesaver when working on large parts that take a long time to reach temperature, or when using filler metals that require higher heat. It effectively dissolves oxides on difficult metals like high-chromium stainless steel, ensuring a clean surface for the alloy to bond to.
Using Handy B-1 is straightforward and efficient. The smooth paste applies easily with a brush, staying exactly where you put it. It provides a visual guide as you heat the metal—becoming clear and fluid when the part is ready for the filler rod. Once the job is done, cleanup is a breeze compared to other hard fluxes; simply use hot water to wash away the residue. Don't risk a failed joint on expensive materials; trust the proven formulation of Lucas Milhaupt to get the job done right.
Add Lucas Milhaupt Handy Flux Type B-1 to your chemical cabinet today and be ready for any high-heat brazing challenge that comes through your shop door. It is the professional's choice for durability, consistency, and ease of use.
