Kester AW Cored Wire Technical Overview
Kester AW Cored Wire is a highly active inorganic acid type flux wire designed for industrial soldering applications, manufactured by Kester. Formulated for heavy-duty metal joining, this cored solder wire provides rapid wetting on a wide range of industrial base metals, especially where severe surface oxidation is present.
Key Features of Kester AW Cored Wire
Engineered for high thermal tolerance and aggressive oxide removal, this cored wire delivers exceptional performance in demanding industrial tasks:
- Highly Active Inorganic Acid Flux: Provides rapid oxide removal to enable fast solder flow and joint formation.
- Broad Metal Compatibility: Suitable for all common metals except aluminum and manganese.
- Oxidized Metal Performance: Specially formulated to solder heavily oxidized surfaces without extensive pre-cleaning.
- Excellent Thermal Stability: Maintains flux activity under prolonged high-temperature exposure, including torch and flame soldering methods.
- Industrial-Grade Efficiency: Speeds up manual and automated torch soldering cycles in non-electronic fabrications.
Application Scope & Important Safety Restrictions
While the active acid flux chemistry excels at joining difficult, oxidized structural metals, the post-soldering flux residue is chemically corrosive. Because of this corrosive nature, this material is strictly limited to non-electronic industrial applications and is not recommended for electrical or electronic soldering applications.
Conclusion
In summary, Kester AW Cored Wire delivers rapid joint formation on oxidized metals with exceptional heat resistance. For pricing and technical availability, reach out via Contact – LORIOT INDUSTRIAL.
