Brazed Fin Cold Plate Heat Sink
Brazing process Characteristics of CAB Flux
Mixture of potassium fluoroaluminates
KAlF4 (70–80%) / K2AlF5·H2O & K2AlF5 (20–30%)
Melting point range 565°C–572°C
below m.p. of filler metal (577°C)
Particle size distribution
for wet application x50: 2–6µm
- good slurry characteristics
- for dry application x50: 3.5–25µm
- good fluidization and adhesion properties
Non hygroscopic
- flux does not attract and absorb moisture
- indefinite shelf life
Non-corrosive to aluminum
Solubility of 0.15–0.45%
- no chemical reaction with water
- indefinite pot life

ixtured brazements preheated to 500°C, Dipped into molten salt at 600°C NaCl, KCl, LiCl, NaF, LiF and others. Removed and drained of salt, Hot water quenched to shock dissolve the salt residue. Washed thoroughly to remove salt traces, Treated for corrosion protection.
Advantages:
Handles wide variety of parts and nonuniform shapes,Good for Al-Mg alloys e.g., 6061,
Fast heating,Very good temperature control.
Disadvantages:Quenching can cause distortion,Extensive post braze washing needed.
Waste water treatment,Requires anti–corrosion treatment, Flux cost.
Flux slurry cascaded onto partFlux loading of 150 to 300 g/m2 ,Heated in air furnace, Removed and quenched in hot water, Extensive post braze washing to dissolve flux residue, Major furnace corrosion.
Alcoa dry (controlled) air process, –40°C dew point, Much lower flux loadingStill requires extensive post braze washing, Requires anti–corrosion treatment.
