Liquid flux is a chemical cleaning agent used in the soldering process to facilitate the joining of metal surfaces, especially in electronics and plumbing.
🔧 Purpose of Liquid Flux:
-
Removes oxidation from metal surfaces.
-
Prevents re-oxidation during the soldering process.
-
Improves wetting of solder by reducing surface tension.
-
Promotes strong and reliable solder joints.
📦 Types of Liquid Flux:
-
Rosin-Based Flux: Traditional, used in electronics. Non-corrosive and removable.
-
Water-Soluble Flux: Easy to clean, but can be more corrosive if not cleaned properly.
-
No-Clean Flux: Leaves minimal residue and usually doesn’t require cleaning.
-
Acid-Based Flux: Used in plumbing and metalworks (not suitable for electronics due to corrosiveness).
🔥 How It’s Used:
-
Applied to metal surfaces before soldering.
-
Heats up during soldering, activates to clean the metal.
-
Helps the solder flow smoothly and bond well.
