Automotive and Hydraulic Tubing
Industry Description
Automotive and hydraulic tubing must be constructed to withstand the pressures of air or fluid flow. At The Gasflux® Company, we supply high-quality torch and induction brazing products that enable automotive industry suppliers to create strong, leak-tight joints in their metal tubing products. Some of the offering/benefits of our products include:
- Quality filler metals and paste fluxes that give companies control over gap tolerances and all other aspects of the brazing process, allowing them to produce leak-free parts that are vital to reliable tubular braze applications.
- The use of Gasflux® which introduces flux directly into the fuel stream creates superior wetting action and encourages the silver or bronze alloy filler to flow evenly into the joint where it is needed the most. Suitable for both manual and automatic brazing operations.
- The use of Gasflux® minimizes post braze cleaning operations such as grinding, buffing, descaling and pickling where harsh acids and other chemicals are used.
- Companies that use our Gasflux® products achieve high yield rates and fewer rejected parts when compared to other brazing processes.
Our products are compliant with AWS/ANSI standards and to conform to the quality requirements of the automotive industry. If you are interested in learning more about our products or have a specific question about introducing Gasflux® into your operation, contact us directly.
