The primary purpose of flux is "to clean". It mixes with the elements in the molten puddle and removes impurities. As it cools it floats to the surface and creates the slag which prevents Oxygen from attacking the Iron.

What type of welding wire is used when welding panel steel?
For steel, flux core or hard wire with Argon/CO2 is used with the GMAW process.
What type of welding is E6022 electrode used on?
for welding dingeberries
What type of welding machine use in spot welding or resistance welding?
Mainly In spot welding & resistance welding two type welding machines are used :- 1. Air Cooled & 2. water Cooled.
What type of welding is used in fence manufacturing?
Resistance welding plants are used in fence manufacturing.
What typy of welding machine do you need to weld steel?
Steel is such a commonly used metal that almost any welding machine can accommodate it. Some are better than others though. Steel is usually welded with either sick welding, or wire welding (gas shielded or flux core)
What type of welding wire is used when welding panel steel?

What is best used for cleaning copper when soldering?
Emery cloth and non acid type flux
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.
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.
What type of welding is used in welding LPG gas cylinders?
What type of welding can we use LPG ?
What is welder slag?
Welder slag is a byproduct resulting from the welding process, often forming a layer on top of the welded joint. It consists of the residue from the flux used in the welding rod or wire, which helps protect the weld pool from impurities and contaminants while it cools. Slag is typically removed after welding to inspect the quality of the weld and ensure proper fusion.
What is a welding chipping hammer?
A welding chipping hammer is a hand held tool, like yourself. It is used for removing slag after the SMAW or flux core process.
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.
What type of welding is E6022 electrode used on?
for welding dingeberries
What is purpose of the flux in welding?
Flux is used to protect the weld from the atmosphere. Flux produces a gas shield over the liquid portion of the weld during the welding process as the electrode is used. The flux then forms a protective layer over the weld called slag. Flux also acts as a deoxidizer, pulling oxygen and nitrogen from the weld pool to the surface, preventing porosity. There are many other and much more technical reasons that involve chemistry of the weld metal, arc characteristics, and mechanical properties of the finished weld.
