Les flux sont des produits destinés à éliminer les oxydes de la surface du joint à réaliser. Ils se présentent sous la forme de poudre sèche, ou de pâte et sont, suivant le cas, soit répandus sur la surface des bords à souder, soit introduits dans le bain au moyen de la baguette d'apport. Ils ne sont pas nécessaires pour le soudage oxyacétylénique des aciers ordinaires (les oxydes de fer étant réduits par la flamme). 4, record 1, French, - flux
