In the metallurgical industry, is used as a flux for soldering applications. It is used to prevent metal parts and assemblies from oxidizing during the heat-treating process. Commonly used for soldering electronic parts, creates a barrier between metal workpieces and the heat source that’s used to perform the soldering operation. This scenario is essential for keeping metal contacts from oxidizing and causing costly repairs for unanticipated electrical problems.

According to Wikipedia, flux that is commonly used for electronics “has about 1%  as a flux core helping the molten metal flow and making a better connection by reducing the refractory solid oxide layer [that is] formed at the surface back to metal. When the heat-treating process is complete, leftover  is frequently as the burnt or clear residue that [surrounds newly soldered] electrical parts.” This description of soldering inherently underlines the importance of using a high-quality) flux remover on affected electrical components.

Using  Flux Remover

Flux Cleaner is formulated to remove the “burnt or clear residue” that  flux leaves after the heat-treating process is complete. When  is used as a flux for soldering electrical contacts — particularly those that other precision components tightly surround — using an aerosol  flux remover offers several benefits over using a flux remover in wipe form. Below are some essential benefits of using an aerosol solution instead of one that is wiped on by hand.

Easier to control dispersal of the solution

Less waste flux remover in the waste trap

Easy to implement and put directly to use

Even dispersal of remover on affected parts

A small amount of  flux residue that surrounds electrical contacts may not seem to be a major problem to the casual observer. However, there are several reasons to remove the accumulation, with the following reasons being highly crucial to the operation of the equipment and its acceptance by customers who need to use the equipment in a business-critical capacity.

A  shell may cause contacts to become hotter than usual

The chemical consistency of  may cause contact corrosion

 on contacts may cause customers to reject the product

Depending on its properties,  make attract dirt and grime

For these reasons and others, it’s important for metallurgists that use  soldering flux to use a  flux remover to remove excessive accumulations of  -based flux residue, too. If your company is looking for a chemist-created  flux remover,  that is available from   in aerosol and liquid form may be the perfect solution for your work processes.
