Comercial welding fluxes oppinions

[Mark Williams]

Has anyone ever tried any of the available fluxes such as EZ-Weld or sure-weld made by the Anti-borax company for forge welding. supposedly you can weld at a lower heat. I'm curious if they are any better than the plain old borax.

From what i understand, those types of fluxs have other ingredients that can induce impurities into the billet. One common additive is iron powder/filings. I would just stick to Borax, IMHO.
