Harris® Solar Flux Type B Stainless Steel Flux comes in a 1 lb can and is ideal for type B for stainless steel, precipitation hardening steels and chrome-moly steels. Welding flux is a complex chemical compound in the form of a very fine powder that is perfect for alloy steels with nickel content below 25%. Flux is formulated to shield the back of the weld joint from oxygen, dissipate heat and unwanted oxides. It offers guaranteed performance in cleaning the surface of the metal. Solar flux help in the easy flow of filler metal over base metal and form a protective barrier to avoid re-oxidation and heat scale.

Caution
PROTECT yourself and others.
Read and understand this information.
FUMES AND GASES and VAPORS can be hazardous to your health.
FLUX IS CORROSIVE: may be harmful or fatal if inhaled or swallowed. FLUX CAUSES SKIN AND EYE BURNS. KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN. HEAT RAYS (infrared radiation) from flame or metal can injure eyes.
Before use, read and understand the manufacturer’s instructions, Safety Data Sheets (SDS), and your employer's safety practices.
Keep your head out of fumes.
Use enough ventilation, exhaust at the flame, or heat source, to keep fumes and gases from your breathing zone and the general area.
Wear correct eye, ear, and body protection.
