Inactive
(Neutral) vs. Active Types
The
expressions “inactive” or “neutral” and “active”
are often used to
describe
flux behavior, and generally refer to the amount of
manganese
and/or silicon that will be transferred from the flux to the
weld
metal. These are relative terms that depend on the flux
composition,
wire chemistry, and the slag to wire melted ratio.
