In soldering, the function of a flux is to clean the metal surface such that the solder may adhere.
Rosin was one early flux, and pastes loaded with HCl were also common, though the HCl left over caused corrosion.
I don't know about ancient times however.
The Roman scourge was a whip-like instrument used for punishment and torture in ancient times.

In ancient times buttons were used for decorative purposes on clothing and as garment fasteners.

Flux is used to prevent oxidation while soldering wires and components in electronics.
A state of continuous movement or a medium used in metal soldering.
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.
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.
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.
It is used to clean impurities away from the surface to be soldered or brazed. Many times it is included in the flux. The use of acid type of fluxes is actually detrimental to good plumbing , soldering practices because if the flux is not properly cleaned the joint will eat away from the corrosive action of the acid
Emery cloth and non acid type 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.
Borax is added to soldering flux to help clean the metal surface by removing oxidation and impurities. It promotes good wetting of the metal by the solder, helping it flow smoothly and create a strong bond. Borax also helps to prevent further oxidation during the soldering process.
It is closer too soldering, just more heat, tin/sliver instead of solder and brazing flux instead solder flux. More like welding as far as strength is concerned. It is very strong and is used on larger diameter pipes. however application is the same as 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.
Flux is used in soldering to clean metal surfaces, prevent oxidation, and facilitate the flow of solder. Cleanliness of metals is important in soldering because any contaminants on the metal surfaces can prevent the solder from properly adhering, resulting in weak or unreliable connections. Ensuring the metals are clean before soldering helps to achieve strong and reliable joints.
