Flux, when applied to metal that is about to undergo a TIG welding process, removes potential residues and contaminants that might otherwise interfere with the oxidation of the metal during the heating process, as well as cause a lot of spattering. Flux can be made of various chemical components, but a flux dispenser can take the form of dispensing flux pen, or a 3 to 5 ounce plastic squeeze bottle with a pointed dispenser cap or brush cap for dispensing liquid flux, or some other form. All flux dispenser formats are designed to deliver the flux to exact spots on the metal. For more welding supplies, see our welding tips, MIG welding wire, and welding accessories.
Frequently Asked Questions
There is a wide array of options for flux dispensers. Flux dispensers can be semi-automatic or automatic. You must first understand the production rate, maximum wire diameter, type of flux used, and power source to determine the best match.
Flux Dispensers are great for increasing your overall weld quality while also reducing the amount of time and effort it takes to complete a job. Using a flux dispenser helps achieve consistent and precise flux application, increases welding speed and productivity, and reduces the risk of rework and scrap.
While there are many variations, there are two main types of flux dispensers: paste and liquid flux dispensers. Paste flux dispensers are ideal for thick, viscous fluxes, while liquid flux dispensers are suitable for thinner, more liquid fluxes.
