Argentium flux is a high temperature flux that makes it suitable for fusing Argentium, fluxes have different working temperatures which is not known by many people. Fluxes often have a low temperature range and would break down if you tried to use them at the temperature required for fusing. Borax has a higher temperature range but bubbles a lot which can make things difficult when trying to fuse granulation, Borax can also stain the surface of Argentium under some conditions. You can use most fluxes with Argentium but Argentium flux works best under the widest circumstances. Argentium flux is a thicker fluid and will go to higher temperatures for a longer period of time.
