| Handy Flo 6 was developed primarily for use on copper, but its use has extended to other non-ferrous copper base alloys. Handy Flo 6 is used on refrigeration units, air conditioning, electrical conductors, copper and brass pipe fittings, and other copper and brass type equipment. Handy Flo 6 is a copper-rich, intermediate temperature alloy that is self-fluxing on copper by virtue of its phosphorus content. The self-fluxing property of this alloy is effective on copper. With copper-base alloys, such as brass or bronze the joints should be fluxed with Handy Flux. Handy Flo 6 should not be used on nickel-base or ferrous alloys, as the phosphorus reacts with the nickel or iron to form brittle compounds at the interface of the joints. Handy Flo 6 is useful where close clearances cannot be maintained or where fillets are specified. It has a tendency to liquate if heated slowly through the melting range. Available forms: Wire, rod, engineered preforms, specialty preforms, powder and paste. Information provided by Lucas-Milhaupt. |
