Preheat the end of the brazing rod and dip the heated rod into Harris 600 powder. The flux adheres to the heated rod and can then be carried to the joint during the brazing operation.
Paste Application
Harris 600 powder may also be mixed with approximately 20% water to form a paste when direct application to the joint or base metal is preferred.
Performance & Cleanup
Wide Active Temperature Range
Harris 600 remains active from approximately 1400°F to 2200°F, making it suitable for the elevated brazing temperatures associated with bronze and nickel-silver filler metals.
Post-Braze Cleanup
Flux residue should be removed after brazing to reduce the potential for corrosion. Harris recommends hot-water washing and appropriate mechanical cleaning when necessary.
