Welcome to Solder Direct

Kapp Alumite is the original low-temperature fluxless soldering & brazing rod for the fabrication, maintenance and repair of Aluminum and Zinc alloys. Alumite has been used and endorsed by leading manufacturers for over 40 years!!!

Actual field applications result in joints that are permanent, non-corrosive and, in many cases, stronger than the parent metal. Alumite will join most aluminum alloys, zinc based alloys, pot metal, and white metal. It can also be used as a general purpose high strength solder.

Aluminum joints made with fluxless Alumite solder have been evaluated by Bell Laboratories and found to be permanent, corrosion resistant, and stronger than joints made with other solders. To solder aluminum, the invisible oxide film must be penetrated by the solder to obtain metal to metal bonding. This can be done simply and effectively without chemical flux by using Alumite. It is only necessary to heat the area to be soldered to a temperature that will melt the end of the solder stick as it is drawn across the heated aluminum surface. The solid end of the solder stick first punctures and loosens the oxide layer and allows the solder to flow underneath. This is known as "tinning the surface".

Many types of repair and construction are possible using this fluxless technique; however, the aluminum surface must be accessible to stroking by the Alumite solder rod. The solder will not flow by itself into a capillary joint. To promote capillary action, companion flux - Kapp Lunar Flux - is required.
