Description This Anhydrous Borax is excellent for forge welding steel. When applied, it forms a highly protective layer that absorbs impurities and prevents the oxidation of the steel. Oxidation often leads to scales on the surface that can stop the metal from welding. Benefits of this Anhydrous Borax vs Hydrous (Standard) Borax Stays where it is placed on the steel. Waters of crystallisation in standard borax cause it to boil and fall away from the workpiece Enters seams much faster as it begins to liquefy earlier, skipping the steaming phase. This greatly reduces scale in welds and uses less borax Continue shopping: Damascus Steel »
