Can you do Welding Operation without flux?

Yes .... but most welds will not be as good as those using flux. SMAW with bare electrodes produces poor results. GTAW and GMAW are done without flux when an inert gas is used to protect the puddle. Some Oxy-fuel welding can be done with out it. In most applications flux is used not only to protect the molten puddle but also add ingredients to the weld.

A flux is applied during a brazing operation primarily to?

When Brazing copper to copper flux is normally not needed When brazing steel or copper based alloys then the flux is used to help the wetting action (Better flow of the brazing alloy) and to prevent oxidation A typical rod would be Union Carbide 25 M or check out the AWS booklet


How much does a gallon of flux weigh?

One gallon of Kester 951 Flux weighs about 8.34 pounds. Flux is used for soldering purposes and is widely used in the making of electronics.


What is flux used for when soldering?

Flux is used to keep metals from oxidizing. Solder will not bond well with copper-oxides which are formed when copper is exposed to high temperatures (ie a soldering iron) the flux prevents the oxidation. If you were to solder without flux the solder joint would be weak and possibly completely nonconductive.

Why flux is not used in tungsten gas arc welding?

The gas acts as the flux would, in shielding the molten steel from the oxygen in the air.


Difference between flux linkage and flux leakage?

i) leakage flux is those flux which goes through the air and linkage flux is those flux whose go through the cell. ii)leakage flux is the loss at flux but linkage flu is warning flux. iii)leakage flux is cause of eddy current loss and linkage flux is case of copper loss.
