The flux on arc welding rods is formulated to produce a shielding effect, as well as helping the molten metal flow. Its melting temperature is adjusted to match the arc temerature.
The flux coating in silver solder or braze rod is designed to melt at a lower temperature, without vaporizing. It's hard to picture the mess you would get if you subjected brass and flux to arc temperatures.
