'''FLiNaK''' is the name of the ternary [[eutectic]] [[alkaline metal]] [[fluoride]] [[salt]] mixture [[Lithium fluoride|LiF]]-[[Sodium fluoride|NaF]]-[[Potassium fluoride|KF]] (46.5-11.5-42 mol %). It has a melting point of 454 °C and a boiling point of 1570 °C. It is used as [[electrolyte]] for the [[electroplating]] of [[refractory metals]] and compounds like [[titanium]], [[tantalum]], [[hafnium]], [[zirconium]] and their [[boride]]s.
