Flux is an integral component in the removal of metallic oxides that would otherwise inhibit filler metal flow. It is a chemical compound applied to the joint surfaces before brazing. Understanding the functions of flux and the stages of flux during heat application will help you achieve strong joints in your manufacturing process. The four functions of flux: • Protect from oxygen • Dissolve & absorb oxides • Help filler flow • Indicate temperature Stages of flux during the brazing process: • 212°F/100°C - water boils off • 600°F/315°C - white & puffy • 800°F/425°C - cloudy appearance • 1100°F/593°C - clear & active Visit our YouTube channel here to learn more about the functions and stages of flux : https://hubs.li/Q02BlzZJ0 #lucasmilhaupt #steelpartners #alloy #flux #technicalexpertise #engineering #bestinclass #manufacturer #verticalintegration #innovation #fabrication #joinwiththebest
