OVERVIEW

High-Performance Black Flux for Demanding Brazing Applications

The Unibraze HT-1 is a specialized high-temperature black flux paste designed for silver brazing applications requiring extended heat resistance and superior oxide removal. Formulated to operate effectively within a temperature range of 1450°F to 2000°F (788°C - 1093°C), this flux is the industry standard for joining refractory metals, stainless steel, and carbide assemblies. Unlike standard white flux, the HT-1 'Black' formula contains elemental boron, which significantly increases its useful life under prolonged heating, making it an essential consumable for induction brazing and heavy-part fabrication.

This flux excels in dissolving the refractory oxides commonly found on stainless steel, nickel alloys, and tungsten carbides. Its robust chemical composition ensures that the base metal remains protected from oxidation even during slow heating cycles or when the assembly must be held at temperature for extended periods. The paste consistency allows for precise application to the joint area, ensuring excellent wetting and flow of silver brazing filler metals. Post-braze cleaning is straightforward, as the flux residues are water-soluble and can be removed with hot water and mechanical agitation.

FAQ

Black flux (like HT-1) contains boron and is designed for higher temperatures (up to 2000°F) and longer heating cycles compared to white flux. It is better suited for stainless steel and carbides.

Unibraze HT-1 is active between 1450°F and 2000°F (788°C - 1093°C).

No, this is a silver brazing flux for ferrous and non-ferrous metals like steel, stainless, copper, and brass. It is not for aluminum.

The flux residue is water-soluble. It can be removed using hot water and a stiff brush or by quenching the part (if the base metal allows) while it is still hot.

Yes, HT-1 is excellent for induction brazing due to its ability to withstand rapid heating and high temperatures without breaking down.

It is designed for use with Silver Brazing filler metals (BAg series).

Yes, most high-temperature brazing fluxes contain fluorides and borates. Proper ventilation and safety gear should be used.

Stainless steel forms refractory oxides that are difficult to dissolve. The boron in black flux is more aggressive at dissolving these oxides and provides better protection at the higher temperatures often required.
