PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT - Solarflux B
SOLARFLUX is a compound used to shield the weld root during welding. Solarflux is mixed with alcohol (methanol /methyl alcohol preferred) and brushed on the back of the weld joint. It is formulated to shield the BACK of the weld joint from oxygen, dissipate heat and unwanted oxides, and to clean the surface of the metal. It will aid in the flow of filler metal over base metal and form a protective barrier to prevent re-oxidation and heat scale.

Welding Exhaust Systems - Part 2
In Part 2 we discussed the importance of tube fitment when fabricating headers. This month, we will discuss techniques involved with back purging exhaust tubes. When heated to welding temperatures, alloys such as stainless steel and Inconel are prone to the formation of oxides if not shielded from oxygen present in the air. Technically known as "sugaring" or "noogies," these oxides will result in a poor weldment, characterized by a black, crusty appearance of the weld metal on the inside (root) of the pipe and an irregular root cross-section. Weld defects include lack of fusion to the base metal, root-pass cracking and incomplete penetration. Since it is most often impossible to see the weld root in an exhaust application, many poor fabricators may think "out of sight, out of mind." But this could not be further from the truth.
