	Flux (metallurgy) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Common fluxes are: ammonium chloride or rosin for soldering tin; hydrochloric acid and zinc chloride for soldering galvanized iron (and other zinc surfaces); and borax for brazing.
		In soldering of metals, flux serves a threefold purpose: it removes oxidation from the surfaces to be soldered, it seals out air thus preventing further oxidation, and by facilitating amalgamation improves wetting characteristics of the liquid solder.
		The flux most commonly used in iron and steel furnaces is limestone, which is charged in the proper proportions with the iron and fuel.

	Flux - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Stokes theorem states that the flux of the curl of a vector field is the path integral of the vector field over this boundary.
		Except in the case of active transport, net flux is directly proportional to the concentration difference across the membrane, the surface area of the membrane, and the membrane permeability constant.
		In ecology, flux is often considered at the ecosystem level - for instance, accurate determination of carbon fluxes (at a regional and global level) is essential for modeling the causes and consequences of global warming.

		To avoid this, the ore as it goes into the furnace is mixed with fluxes so selected as to convert the gangue into a fusible, slag, which readily runs down through the fuel with the regulus and separates from the latter.
		Slags are not a necessary evil; if an ore were free from gangue we should add gangue and flux from without to produce a slag, because one of its functions is to form a layer on the regulus which protects it against the further action of the blast or furnace gases.
		Fluxes may be arranged under the three heads of (I) fluor-spar, (2) basic fluxes and (3) acid fluxes.

	Metallurgy
		Metallurgy is the science of extracting metals from their ores.
		Modern metallurgical research is concerned with the preparation of radioactive metals, with obtaining metals economically from low-grade ores, with obtaining and refining rare metals hitherto not used, and with the formulation of alloys.
		The flux used depends upon the chemical nature of the ore; limestone is usually employed with a siliceous gangue.

		An under bump metallurgy layer 36 is formed on the passivation layer to provide a connection between the solder bump and the contact pad 34 and to provide a plating electrode, as shown in Figure 2.
		Because the flux is not a consideration during the heating step, the step of forming the intermetallic region can be accomplished by heating the solder to a temperature significantly higher than the liquidus temperature of the solder thus reducing the time required to completely form the intermetallic region.
		An under bump metallurgy layer 56 and a photoresist mask layer 60 are formed on the passivation layer 52 and the contact pad 54, as shown in Figures 14 and 20.

	Metallurgy
		It is a mixture of carbonate of potassa and charcoal.
		The ore thus prepared is to be mixed with 3 parts of fl flux, and a little decrepitated sea-salt; put the mixture in a lined crucible, cover it and place it in a forge-fire, or in a hot furnace, for this ore is very difficult of fusion.
		This consists in the skilful bundling of the iron to be welded, in the use of an extraordinarily large forgehammer, in employing a bulling-furnace, instead of a hollowfire or chafery, and in passing the iron, reduced to a melting heat, through grooved mill rollers of different shapes and sizes, as required.

		In electric arc furnaces, scrap iron and steel, scrap substitutes such as DRI and HBI, pig iron, iron ore, and beneficiated iron ore are placed in a furnace and melted by the use of heat from an electric current.
		Although steel plants flux with high calcium quicklime, most of the basic oxygen plants substitute or add 30 to 50% dolomitic (high magnesium) quicklime because experience has shown that this extends the refractory lining life of the furnaces.
		Substantial quantities of quicklime are used as a flux in the manufacture of low carbon and ferro chromes.

		There is no flux material placed in the core; thus, the weld area has to be protected by an inert gas or some other means.
		The flux protects the molten weld from the atmosphere during welding and, upon cooling and hardening, forms a shiny surface, enhancing the weld’s appearance.
		A granular flux having the texture and appearance of kitty litter is either spread by hand, gravity-fed, or carried in a compressed airstream over the weld pool, forming a protective blanket.

	Advanced Packaging - The influence of PCB parameters on CSP assembly and reliability
		In the case of high-bump coplanarity, the flux may not coat the shortest bump tip sufficiently and may be unable to remove all the oxides during reflow.
		Fluxes: Because the application of flux may be appropriate for CSP assembly or rework, important flux characteristics, including viscosity, flux residue, and solids content, should be investigated.
		The solder bump metallurgy of the BGAs typically is either collapsible with eutectic (or near eutectic) composition or non-collapsible with high-lead (Sn/Pb 10/90) composition.

		fluxus, a flowing; this being also the meaning of the English term in medicine, andc.), in metallurgy, a substance introduced in the smelting of ores to promote fluidity, and to remove objectionable impurities in the form of a slag.
		The substances in commonest use are:lime or limestone, to slag off silica and silicates, fluor-spar for lead, calcium and barium sulphates and calcium phosphate, and silica for removing basic substances such as limestone.
		Sodium and potassium carbonates are valuable for fluxing off silica; mixed with potassium nitrate sodium carbonate forms a valuable oxidizing fusion mixture; fl flux is a reducing flux composed of finely divided carbon and potassium carbonate, and formed by deflagrating a mixture of argol with 3/4 to 3/4 its weight of nitre.

		Most disturbing is that the container label for the flux paste has a clear warning not to use it on electrical components.
		The flux paste I continuously find is part number 0-F-506 and NSN 00-255-4566, and it contains zinc chloride and ammonium chloride.
		The experts from Crane said, "Every assembly this paste flux has touched may have reduced reliability and may cause premature failure." Yet, many technicians told me the paste is easier to use and to clean up, but they need to consider the additional work required to repair the damage done from the wrong material.

	Gas-shielded cored wires find their niche
		They usually are produced from a thin, flat ribbon of steel that is formed into a U shape, filled with the flux and alloy formulation, and then closed into a tube with the flux and alloy on the inside.
		Flux- and metal-cored wires are particularly suitable for one-sided welding on open butt joints.
		Not all applications are suitable for cored wires, but end users should be aware of the basic economics of welding to determine the actual cost per pound of deposited weld metal (rather than cost per pound of product) to choose the best wire for a particular application.
