Flux (metallurgy) (682 words) |
 | Common fluxes are: ammonium chloride or rosin for soldering tin; hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride for soldering galvanized iron (and other zinc surfaces); and borax for brazing or braze-welding ferrous metals. |
| In soldering of metals, flux serves a threefold purpose: it removes oxidation from the surfaces to be soldered, it seals out air thus preventing further oxidation, and by facilitating amalgamation improves wetting characteristics of the liquid solder. |
| The flux most commonly used in iron and steel furnaces is limestone, which is charged in the proper proportions with the iron and fuel. |
