NR8 FLUX

Description

Description:

NR8 FLUX is a premium, granular, neutral flux specifically engineered for use in demanding foundry applications involving non-ferrous alloys, particularly those based on copper and its derivatives like brass and bronze. Its primary function is to create a protective, molten covering on the surface of the melt, effectively minimizing oxidation and dross formation while simultaneously absorbing non-metallic impurities within the melt. This action ensures a cleaner, higher-quality casting by significantly reducing defects caused by inclusions and gas porosity, leading to superior metallurgical properties and improved casting yields. NR8 FLUX offers excellent slagging characteristics and is formulated for minimal fuming and consistent performance across a wide range of operating temperatures.

Applications:
  • Dross Reduction and Refining: It is used to minimize the formation of metal oxides (dross) and to clean the molten metal by fluxing out suspended non-metallic inclusions and impurities, resulting in a cleaner final product.
  • Melt Protection: It forms a continuous, protective barrier on the melt surface to prevent atmospheric contamination and oxidation during the melting and holding cycles.
  • Crucible Wall Cleaning: When applied, it can aid in removing residual metal and slag buildup from the crucible or furnace lining, which helps to maintain energy efficiency and prevent cross-contamination in subsequent melts.
