Flux composition refers to the specific mixture of chemical substances used in welding, soldering, or brazing to facilitate the joining of metals by cleaning, protecting, and aiding the flow of filler materials. The composition of flux determines its effectiveness in preventing oxidation and ensuring strong, durable bonds between metal surfaces.

Welding is a fabrication process that joins materials, usually metals or thermoplastics, by causing coalescence through high heat and sometimes pressure. It is a critical technique in manufacturing and construction, offering strong, permanent bonds that are essential for structural integrity.

Soldering is a process used to join two or more metal components by melting a filler metal into the joint, which solidifies to create a strong electrical and mechanical bond. It is essential in electronics for creating reliable connections between components on circuit boards and is characterized by its low melting point compared to the base metals being joined.

Brazing is a metal-joining process that involves melting a filler metal above 450°C (842°F) to bond two or more metals without melting the base materials. It is valued for producing strong, leak-proof joints and is commonly used in applications requiring precision and durability, such as in aerospace and HVAC systems.

Filler materials are substances added to products to improve properties, reduce costs, or modify characteristics without significantly altering the core composition. They are widely used in industries such as plastics, construction, and cosmetics to enhance mechanical strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
