Fluxing: meaning, definitions and examples
🔄
fluxing
[ ˈflʌksɪŋ ]
physical processes
Fluxing refers to the process of modifying or altering something, often involving flow or movement. In scientific contexts, it typically describes materials transitioning between states or changes in energy. In metallurgy and soldering, fluxing involves adding substances to facilitate the melting process, preventing oxidation. Fluxing can also refer to the flux of ideas in more abstract contexts, illustrating a constant state of change.
Synonyms
changing, flowing, melting, transitioning.
Examples of usage
- The metal is fluxing to improve its malleability.
- The ideas were fluxing during the brainstorming session.
- In soldering, fluxing is crucial for a strong joint.

Etymology
The term 'flux' originates from the Latin word 'fluxus', meaning 'flowing' or 'to flow'. This can be traced back to the verb 'fluere', which means 'to flow'. The usage of 'flux' in scientific and industrial contexts began in the late 18th century, particularly associated with the processes of metallurgy and chemistry. Fluxing has since been applied to various fields, including physical sciences, engineering, and even abstract applications like the flow of ideas. The modern understanding of fluxing encompasses the dynamic and often continuous transformation of materials, ideas, or concepts, reflecting the natural tendency towards change in both nature and human endeavors.
