International
Customers the best deal is the 6oz. 170.1 grams package with about
$14.00 for shipping because I can keep the total weight under
8oz/226.8grams. Once we go over 8oz. postage is over $25.00. So the
value is best with a 6oz/170.1grams package of Solar Flux.
This package contains enough Solar Flux to cover approximately 240 lineal ft.

For
most job shop and maintenance welders who do a variety of welding on
different types of materials on a daily basis and do not necessarily
work on stainless steel all the time, I can tell you one thing from
experience that a one pound can will last for a very long time.
That is why I am offering you an opportunity to purchase this same
great product in 2oz., 4oz., 6oz., and 8oz. sealed Mylar standup
pouch, and this will provide the opportunity for you to purchase only
what you need, and use the savings on other necessary welding
paraphernalia.
We're all looking for ways to save money in our
welding businesses, and one of the best ways is to cut costs of
consumables! I have been in the welding business over 40 years
and have welded many different types of metals and discovered Solar
Flux type B in 1983. As a result I began to take on stainless
steel welding jobs that I otherwise could not have successfully
repaired. The Solar Flux more than pays for itself on each and
every job that normally requires back purging, and protection for the
backside of the weld. Good Welding.

I have been using this
Welding Process on Stainless Steel Welding for over 30 yrs.
This
is one of those trade secrets that will help you make better welds
and increase your profits!
From experience as a specialty
welder, I believe every welder who ever welds on Stainless Steel
should have a bag of Solar Flux Type B in his or her toolbox!
The
shielding gas or the flux in the electrode only protect the front of
the weld. In thin wall material, or when making the root pass
in thicker material, you must either use Solar Flux or Back Purge
with an inert gas to drive out the oxygen, float out unwanted oxides,
and dissipate the heat on the back of the weld. If not, you get
a sugary porous weld and burn through. The front of the weld
will look good, but you'll see the difference when you look at the
back side.
Solar Flux has been producing X-Ray quality welds
in Stainless Steel for over 70 years. It is often preferred
over argon back purging gas for its ease of use, speed, simplicity
and low cost. Other variables being the same, either
Solar Flux or backing gas will produce the same quality weld.
Solar
Flux is a very fine powder which when mixed with alcohol, or the
preferred pure methanol, (methyl alcohol): Remove a small amount and mix into a thick paste
just before use. It can be used with any gas or arc welding
process, ie; TIG, MIG, SMAW. It comes in two types: Type
B for Stainless Steel and/or High Chromium Steel; and Type I for high
(over 25%) Nickel Alloy. Welding is done using the same
procedure that would be used with Argon Backing Gas.
When
the green flag drops at the Indy 500 Solar Flux is in the Welding
Garage--Just in case any Stainless Steel components, especially
exhaust manifolds, need welding.
Solar
Flux was developed prior to World War II by the Solar Aircraft
Company, San Diego, California for use in the manufacturing of
Stainless Steel exhaust manifolds for U.S. Navy aircraft engines and
was a closely guarded military secret. After the war, patents
were obtained and Solar Flux was marketed internationally.
Solar
Flux is inert, non-flammable, and non-explosive and can be shipped in
any quantity by any means of transportation.
AWS/ANSI code:
See Structural Welding Code--Stainless Steel. AWS D1.6:1999
Backing required for welder performance qualification (WPQ) and flux
backing acceptable, Sections 3.29 and 4.8.7.
Type B conforms
to Mil-F-7516B (class 2 & 4) for welding Stainless Steel by any
Gas or Arc Method.
The shelf life is infinite as long as it
hasn't been mixed with fluid and remains in a closed container.
A
little Solar Flux goes a long way: 2 ounces properly mixed and
applied will cover approximately 80 lineal feet.
This
