CERAFLUX - 49 is an off-white coloured powder flux used for copper base alloys during melting. Pure copper or copper alloys are very difficult to melt and are very susceptible to gassing. In case of alloys the oxidation losses of alloying element should be reduced.
Under the coating cover of CERAFLUX- 49 both oxidation losses and the pickup of hydrogen from moisture in the atmosphere are prevented.
The percentage addition of CERAFLUX – 49 is 1% on metal weight for good scrap. For turning boring etc. type of scrap 3-4% CERAFLUX – 49 is required on the metal weight.
