Abstract

A reaction type flux and the method utilizing same in the soldering of aluminum containing products, particularly aluminum-zinc coated ferrous sheet and strip products. Said flux comprising a mixture consisting essentially of, parts by weight, 10 to 14 stannous chloride, 0.25 to 1.5 ammonium chloride, and 0.05 to 0.3 sodium fluoride. Such a flux mixture is characterized by a reaction temperature in the anhydrous condition of less than about 470.degree. F., preferably below about 450.degree. F., thereby permitting the application of electric iron techniques in the soldering operation.
