In the case of working metal, flux is a chemical cleaner used to remove oxidation. For example, if you are a plumber and are fitting two pieces of copper pipe together for a water line, you would prep the ends of the pipes with flux before soldering the coupling to them. It also helps get a smooth solder line because it prevents the solder from beading up.

In some circumstances, like working with molten metal, it is used to add or remove quantities of wanted or unwanted materials.

How flux is related to speed?

Flux is related to the speed of change in a physical quantity through the concept of flux density. Flux density is the amount of flux passing through a unit area per unit time. The faster the change in the physical quantity, the higher the flux density.


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 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.

The unit of flux per pole is Weber (Wb).


What are the units of measurement for flux linkage?

The units of measurement for flux linkage are webers (Wb).

What does weld rod mean?

They are mild and low alloy metals . the rods are iron coated for a better distribution of the flux metal. They are normally used for general fabrication, heavy sheet metal work and shelving.


Why is a flux needed for brazing?

You must use flux while brazing because the flux prevents oxides from forming while the metal is heated. The flux also serves the purpose of cleaning any contamination left on the brazing surfaces.

What is the purpose of a flux?

The purpose of flux is to clean oxides from metal surfaces to ensure a clean bond in soldering or brassing them together. without a proper flux soldered and brazed joint integrity is unreliable.


What is used to help solder stick to metal?

Flux cleans the metal and helps the solder stick.


What are the dangers of using flux?

Flux is used to bond soldered metals together. The flux is spread onto both pieces of metal that will be soldered. If the metal is a wire, spread the flux on the metal part of the wire. Then heat the solder and place the two pieces being soldered together with a tongs or the tip of the soldering iron.


What is added to the flux and form a slag?

Common additives to the flux, such as limestone or silica, react with impurities in the metal to form a slag. This slag helps to remove impurities from the metal during the refining process and is then removed from the surface of the molten metal.


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.

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.


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.
