Can borax be used as a flux?
Yes, borax can be used as a flux when soldering metals like gold, silver, and copper. It helps to clean the metal surfaces, prevent oxidation, and promote the flow of solder. Borax mixed with water can create a paste that is applied to the metal joints before soldering.
Method of using expired liquid flux Soldering?
It is not recommended to use expired liquid flux for soldering as the effectiveness of the flux diminishes over time, which can lead to poor soldering results. It is best to use fresh flux to ensure proper soldering and avoid issues such as weak joints or oxidation. Expired flux may also contain harmful chemicals that could pose health risks during soldering.
Can you successfully solder without using flux?
Soldering without flux is possible, but using flux makes the process easier and helps create a stronger bond between the materials being soldered.
What is the difference between infinite electric flux and finite electric flux?
the difference between lightning and a single cell battery
What is the difference between reflow soldering and wave soldering regarding lead free alloys recommended by NEMI?
In reflow soldering, the solder is applied as a 'solder paste' typically by using a stencil mask and a squeege. The solder paste contains both a solder flux and the solder in the form of minute solder balls. The solder paste operation is done BEFOREadding the components to the board. The board is then passed through a reflow oven at which time, the solder paste melts to complete the soldering of the components to the circuit board. The reflow oven will have several heating zones designed to preheat, activate the flux, reflow the solder, and cool the board. The oven is setup so the components receive as little thermal shock as possible, and spend only a few seconds above the solder melting temperature.In wave soldering, the components are placed on the board. THEN the board is placed in the wave soldering machine. Typically the first step in the wave solder, the bottom of the board passes through a fluxing operation which either sprays flux on the bottom or passes the bottom of the board through a flux foam. After the flux, the board will usually pass a pre-heater to activite the flux and pre-heat the board for the soldering. Then, the bottom of the board is passed through a molten solder wave (looks like a smooth waterfall only consisting of molten solder). Afterwards, there will be a stage of cool-down.Some details of the process vary by how expensive the oven or wave-solder machine is, the complexity of the circuit board involved, for what kind of volume the production line is intended for, and how 'mil or space qualified' the circuit board is.
Why should flux be used when soldering?
Flux is used when soldering to remove any oxidation on the metal surfaces being soldered, ensuring a clean and strong bond between the solder and the components. It helps the solder flow more easily and uniformly, improving the overall quality of the solder joint. Additionally, flux helps prevent new oxidation from forming during the soldering process.
Your car heater on back has come unstuck how do you fix it so it will clear again the solder has come off?
You can use a paste flux and heat (as from a soldering gun) to reattach the solder.

What is flux and in which operation is it used?
Flux is used to prevent oxidation while soldering wires and components in electronics.
When soldering what should the flux be applied to?
The materials being soldered.
What is the purpose of borax in soldering?
Borax is used as a flux in soldering to clean the metal surfaces being joined and to prevent oxidation during the soldering process. It helps the solder flow more easily and create a strong bond between the metals.
Why won't your soldering work?
A: The pad is not clean it has tarnish or wrong solder with not enough soldering flux. Finally not enough heat.
