fluxed
Became liquid state
Fluxed is the past tense of flux, meaning to treat with a flux—a substance that promotes melting or fusion.
In metalworking and soldering, metals are fluxed to remove oxides and help solder flow cleanly: He fluxed the copper pipes before joining them.
The word appears occasionally in figurative contexts suggesting change or flow, though this use is uncommon.
