For some of us the smell of rosin soldering flux vaporizing from the tip of an iron as a project takes shape is as evocative as the scent of a rose on a summer’s day. We’ve certainly breathed ...

Fluxes are chemical agents used for cleaning, purification, and improving flow, and are common components of metal joining processes such as soldering, brazing, and welding. When metal is heated to ...

A solder's composition may include flux, an additive to improve flow. Because heating a metal causes rapid oxidation, flux is also used to clean the oxide layer from the metal surface to provide a ...

Use only lead-free solder identified for potable water applications, meeting ASTM B 32. Use fluxes intended for use with lead ...
