Description
Flux solder is a crucial fluid used in jewelry making to facilitate the smooth flow of solder during the soldering process. It works by maintaining and cleaning the joints, effectively preventing oxides from forming on the surface of the metals—such as gold, silver, copper, and other non-ferrous metals—being joined. Oxide formation can hinder solder flow and weaken the bond, so flux acts as a protective agent that deflects these oxides.
This liquid flux promotes cleaner, more reliable joints by allowing the solder to flow properly and adhere to the metal surfaces, improving the strength and appearance of the soldered connection. It is commonly applied to the joint area before heating, and one litre sizes like the product described provide ample supply for frequent use in professional or hobbyist jewelry workshops.
