Re: [gingery_machines] flux

 

Somewhere I heard/read about using borax, but then I just saw on the backyard metal casting site somebody's recommendation to NOT use it because it's reactive with aluminum. Can somebody with a better knowledge of metallurgy/chemistry comment on this?

I work at a Galvanizing plant, we use ammonium cloride as a flux. Can I use this for my aluminum casting?

Thanks,
Chris
