  XRF flux is a commonly used analytical technique widely applied in the fields of ore, metal, and ceramic analysis. In XRF analysis, samples usually require melting to completely dissolve elements into a liquid state, ensuring accurate analytical results. The role of a fusion machine is to heat the sample to a high temperature, causing it to melt.

  Lithium tetraborate anhydrous is a commonly used flux that plays an important role in XRF flux analysis. First, lithium tetraborate anhydrous has a relatively low melting point and high heat capacity, allowing it to quickly heat the sample to a high temperature. Second, lithium tetraborate anhydrous exhibits good fluidity and wettability at high temperatures, effectively reacting with the sample and dissolving the elements within into a liquid. Furthermore, lithium tetraborate anhydrous can reduce oxidation reactions on the sample surface, ensuring the accuracy of the analytical results.

  Using lithium tetraborate anhydrous as a flux offers the following advantages. First, it reacts with most elements, making it widely applicable. Second, lithium tetraborate anhydrous has a relatively low melting point, preventing significant loss or oxidation of elements in the sample. Furthermore, lithium tetraborate anhydrous can lower the operating temperature and time of the fusion machine, improving analytical efficiency.

  In summary, the fusion machine plays a crucial role in XRF flux analysis, and lithium tetraborate anhydrous, as a high-quality flux, effectively aids in sample melting, dissolving the elements in the sample, and ensuring accurate analytical results. For ores, metals, ceramics, and other fields requiring XRF analysis, using lithium tetraborate anhydrous as a flux is a wise choice.
