How to Attach AlphaForm Hand MoldableInduction Flux Concentrator to Induction Heating Coils
Warm the AlphaForm to room temperature and cut off the amount needed. To more easily mold AlphaForm place it in an oven or use a heat gun, not to exceed 140 F as curing may begin.
Recommended Tools to Attach AlphaForm Hand Moldable Induction Flux Concentrator to Induction Coils
Fluxtrol.com 1-248-393-2000
We recommend using gasline Teflon tape and heavy duty aluminum foil, 0.024 millimeters (0.9 mils)
AlphaForm Hand Moldable Induction Flux Concentrator
Place a piece of heavy duty aluminum foil along the working edge of the coil. This will provide a flat surface to
form the AlphaForm against. Avoid using standard aluminum foil as it may be difficult to remove after curing.
