THE SPEEDFLUX METHOD FOR GAS WELDING
A
high-speed production process for braze-welding steel and
other metals with bronze rods, nickel-silver rods and silver
solders.
SpeedFlux
is a boron infused liquid flux which is vaporized and inducted
into the fuel gas stream automatically. The SpeedFlux dispenser
picks up the flux in vapor form and delivers it to the torch
in the gas - thus the flux is in the flame, evident by the
green color. The use of SpeedFlux assures exactly the right
amount of flux, applied automatically. No glassy residue
is formed. Finishing costs such as filing or grinding are
practically eliminated. As the flame contacts the metal
part, the flux in the flame cleans and fluxes the parent
metal. The use of blue-tinted goggles is recommended as
these enable the green SpeedFlux flame to be more easily
seen and adjusted, see picture below.

There
is no special technique. Proceed as for ordinary welding
and brazing. The flame should be "soft" and used
like a brush to keep the deposited metal flowing.
One
U.S. Gallon of SpeedFlux will process from 2500-3000 cubic
feet of acetylene.
Available
in 1 gallon can, 5 gallon pail, and 53 gallon drums.
