Fused Flux
Fused flux is a homogeneous powder produced by melting and granulating raw materials. It is insensitive to moisture and provides consistent welding properties.
Physical-Chemical Mechanism of Action
Fused flux is produced by melting metals or alloys, followed by rapid cooling and granulation. This process gives the flux a homogeneous chemical composition and small particle sizes.
Metallurgical Relevance & Welding Risks
Fused flux is insensitive to moisture, meaning it performs well under different environmental conditions. It provides consistent welding properties because the composition and structure of the particles always remain the same. However, uneven flux can lead to variable weld results.
Workshop Practice & Instructions
Use fused flux in a moisture-controlled environment to ensure consistent welding properties. Pay attention to correct dosing and an even flux distribution system. If weld quality issues arise, check the flux moisture and homogeneity.
