fission
the melted flux covers the molten metal in the weld zone. flux materials are chosen so that the density of the melted flux / slag is lower than that of the metal being welded, so that the flux floats to the top of the weld puddle and leaves pure or nearly pure metal to solidify below.









































flux materials may also contribute to metal behavior in the molten metal, with physical or chemical alterations to the molten metal.









































the flux cover also helps thermally insulate the weld and reduce the cooling rate.

slag (welding)
the heaviest metals were first put inside the crucible (arabic: "būṭa") for melting, followed by the lighter metals: silver and copper, brought to a boiling state, after which the craftsman added lead, followed by sulphur. once the sulphur is added to the mixture and stirred, the craftsman then poured the molten metal into a flat mold (arabic: "mafraj") made of molding sand (a process known as casting), which was done before the sulphur burnt out. the mold was made with many sunken, groove-like impressions and insertable slots running lengthwise where the craftsman poured the molten metal to form either rods (wires) or plaques. experienced silversmiths in yemen would cast the desired shape by first adding "tinkar" (a solder made of crude borax) into a mold where there was powdered sulphur. the "tinkar", in this case, was first pounded to a powder and mixed together with a finely ground niello-metal piece after it had solidified, which powdered elements were added to the mold before casting the molten metal. this prevented the appearance of a hardened, membranous film on the surface of the finished object due to the heat.
