What is the role of flux in metallurgical processes?
Flux is any substance introduced in the smelting of ores to promote fluidity and to remove impurities in the form of slag. Role of flux in the metallurgical process: (I) flux is used to remove the gangue by combining with it. Thus, slag formation takes place. (ii) It makes the molten mass more conducting.
