Fluxed

/flʌkst/ verb

Definition

Past tense of flux; caused to flow, melt, or become fluid, often using a chemical substance called flux.

Etymology

From 'flux' (verb) + past tense '-ed'. In metallurgy and soldering, flux is a substance that helps metals flow and bond together, so 'fluxed' means treated with flux.

Kelly Says

When jewelers solder gold or silversmiths join metals, they use flux—a magical powder that makes solid metal flow like water at high temperatures, making 'fluxed' one of the most practical words in metalworking.
