Neutral Welding Fluxes

Neutral welding flux does not change the chemical composition of the steel during welding. It improves mechanical properties and provides corrosion protection.

Physicochemical Working Principle

Neutral welding fluxes contain no chemical additions that would alter the chemical composition of the steel. They consist of pure metals or alloys that readily exchange during welding and improve mechanical properties.

Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks

Using neutral flux prevents unwanted chemical changes in the steel, which is especially important for critical components. Wrong selection or missing application can degrade mechanical properties and reduce service life.

Workshop Practice & Instructions

Use neutral welding flux when no chemical change of the steel is desired. Pay attention to the correct flux amount and proper welding to ensure optimal mechanical properties.
