In the case of working metal, flux is a chemical cleaner used to remove oxidation. For example, if you are a plumber and are fitting two pieces of copper pipe together for a water line, you would prep the ends of the pipes with flux before soldering the coupling to them. It also helps get a smooth solder line because it prevents the solder from beading up.
In some circumstances, like working with molten metal, it is used to add or remove quantities of wanted or unwanted materials.

In transformer core flux depends on voltage whereas leakage flux depends on current?
In a Transformer, Core flux is the difference of primary flux and Secondary flux which are opposite to each other in direction. There difference is equal to the no load flux at all loads. So, some of primary flux passes through the core and remaining becomes leakage flux (Because Secondary flux forces it to get out of the core). Same is the case with Secondary flux. Now, flux is directly proportional to Voltage and Current. When Current increases due to increased load (and voltage remains same): Then both primary and secondary flux increase. Because both of them increase, so there difference remains same. And all remaining flux is forced out. Hence leakage flux increases with current, but Core flux remains constant. When Primary Voltage is increased: Then only primary flux increases. So difference of this new increased primary flux and previous same secondary flux increases. Hence Core flux increases with voltage, But leakage flux does not. That's how In transformer core flux depends on voltage whereas leakage flux depends on current.
What flux that does not follow the intended path in a magnetic circuit?
leakage flux
What in this world have magnitude but no direction?
Those having only magnitude but no direction are known as scalar quantity. Time, mass, work, power, electric current, electric charge, moment of inertia, magnetic flux, electric flux and so many are found to be scalar in this world.
What does magnetic flux mean in physics?
The magnetic flux is the measure of the strength of a magnetic field. The total magnetic flux through a closed surface is zero, according to Gauss's law for magnetism.
What is the direction of heat flux on isothermal surface?
Direction of heat flux on an isothermal surface is always normal to the surface.
What is used to help solder stick to metal?
Flux cleans the metal and helps the solder stick.
What does weld rod mean?
They are mild and low alloy metals . the rods are iron coated for a better distribution of the flux metal. They are normally used for general fabrication, heavy sheet metal work and shelving.
Why is a flux needed for brazing?
You must use flux while brazing because the flux prevents oxides from forming while the metal is heated. The flux also serves the purpose of cleaning any contamination left on the brazing surfaces.
How much uranium can the flux capacitor hold?
The flux capacitor is now only a phantasy. Flux capacitor will not work with Uranium. It has to be Plutonium.
When welding the flux on an electrode?
shielded metal are welding is also called
What is the purpose of a flux?
The purpose of flux is to clean oxides from metal surfaces to ensure a clean bond in soldering or brassing them together. without a proper flux soldered and brazed joint integrity is unreliable.
What are the dangers of using flux?
Flux is used to bond soldered metals together. The flux is spread onto both pieces of metal that will be soldered. If the metal is a wire, spread the flux on the metal part of the wire. Then heat the solder and place the two pieces being soldered together with a tongs or the tip of the soldering iron.
What is a flux when making things?
Flux is any material used to aid in the purification of smelted metals and cleaning or joining of metal in welding. it is a Metallurgy term.
How will you define flux?
A state of continuous movement or a medium used in metal soldering.
Does the flux capacitor really work?
No, it only works "in the movies".
What is the best metal ddr pad?
the best name brand out there would probably have to be cobalt flux or ion
What is the difference in welding rods for ac welders and dc welders?
The difference in the ac/ dc , or polarity of welding rods is in the makeup of the flux coating , or the alloy of the metal, and in the case of SMAW ( Shielded metal arc welding ) rods , which have a flux coating, are usually marked on the base of the rod.
