Aluminum

AMCO 64*

Chloride-free, high-viscosity organic based flux compound for low-temperature, 350-550 degree F (177-288 C) aluminum soldering. Preferred solders are 63Pb/34Sn/3Zn, 91Sn/9Zn, 50Sn/50Pb.

AMCO 66A

Reaction-type flux recommended for high-temperature soldering of aluminum. AMCO 66A deposits zinc on the aluminum surfaces when heated to soldering temperature. The solder must be preplaced prior to heating because of the short flux reaction time. A typical use is in soldering of air conditioning coils. Zinc-aluminum solders recommended for use with AMCO 66A include 95Zn/5Al, 98Zn/2Al and pure Zn solders.
