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.


Which devices are used to detect flux leakage?

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 are the two types of flux used in metallurgy?

The two types of flux used in metallurgy are acidic flux and basic flux. Acidic fluxes are used to remove impurities by forming acidic slag, while basic fluxes are used to form basic slag and improve the flow characteristics of the molten metal.


What is the flux linkage formula used to calculate the total magnetic flux passing through a coil of wire?

The flux linkage formula used to calculate the total magnetic flux passing through a coil of wire is given by the equation N, where represents the magnetic flux, N is the number of turns in the coil, and is the magnetic flux per turn.

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 is the relationship between units and flux in the context of physics?

In physics, units are used to measure quantities like flux, which is the amount of something passing through a surface. The relationship between units and flux is important because the units used to measure flux can help determine the amount of the quantity passing through the surface.

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.
