What’s Included

One 1 oz. Container of Super Alloy 5 Powder Flux Replacement

Shelf Life and Storage

Store the powder flux in a sealed container in a cool, dry environment. Super Alloy 5 flux maintains its consistency and performance for one year when stored tightly-sealed in a cool, dry environment below 77°F (25°C)

How to Use Super Alloy 5 Powder Flux Replacement

1. Prepare the Metal: Clean the aluminum thoroughly with a wire brush to remove oxidation and surface contaminants.
2. Prepare the Flux: Dip the heated Super Alloy 5 rod into the powder flux to pick up a light coating.
3. Apply Heat: Use a torch to heat the base metal evenly until the flux melts and becomes clear. Parent metal must be 600°F (316°C) minimum (800°F for larger/thicker pieces)
4. Apply the Rod: Touch the rod to the work area and allow it to flow evenly along the joint. The flux will continue to protect the surface and improve bonding.
5. Cool and Clean: Allow parts to cool naturally, then remove any residual flux with warm water and a wire brush.

Common Applications

• Repairing cracked or damaged aluminum boats and other marine applications
• Joining and sealing diamond plate aluminum for trucks, trailers, and toolboxes
• Repairing cast aluminum engine components such as intake manifolds and housings

• Restoring aluminum automotive parts like hood moldings and bumpers

Frequently Asked Questions

• Can I use this powder flux with other aluminum rods?

Super Alloy 5 Powder Flux Replacement is specifically formulated for use with Super Alloy 5 rods, to ensure proper flow and bonding.

• What temperature does the flux activate?

The flux activates and becomes clear at the working temperature range of Super Alloy 5, around 600°F to 800°F, depending on the project.

• Do I need to mix the powder flux before using it?

No mixing is required. Simply dip the heated rod into the powder flux to pick up a thin coating.

• Can I reuse leftover flux?

Yes, as long as it remains clean and dry. Store it sealed to prevent contamination or moisture absorption.

• What type of torch should I use with Super Alloy 5?

Super Alloy 5 works with a wide variety of torches: propane, MAPP gas, oxyacetylene, natural gas, or oxy-MAP can all be used, depending on the job. For demanding work such as aluminum boats, diamond plate aluminum, and thick sections, oxyacetylene is required.

• Why does the rod ball up when I’m brazing?

If the rod balls up when you’re brazing, this is an indication the base metal is too cold. Knock the ball off, reheat the base metal, and try again. Troubleshooting tips here.
