Non Corrosive Flux

Who know where can I buy the non corressive flux to brazing copper and brass. It is better if it is removed by water.

try your local plumbing supply house......they usually carry both corrosive and non corrosive types. or look to a welding supply house.

Cola is a good substitute for proprietary soldering fluxes. There's enough H3PO4 in it to clean up copper and brass nicely, and it washes away with water.

Some people are silly enough to drink it. Most survive...

could we use cola as flux when brazing at the temperature 700centigrade?

Have you used it to clean the scale on the copper?
