Yes it does.
Metal Core wire doesn't have flux in his core, but powder metal. The powder metal doesn't have addition of "gas producing elements" to protect the weld puddle from ambient atmosphere.
Your wire supplier will help you in the selection of proper shielding gas. But never forget they are "sellers" before everything. Don't be foul.

What shielding gas do you use when welding with flux-cor wire?
you dont .thats what the flux does.solid core wire needs gas
What is the welding for MIG welding?
mig welding is Metal Inert Gas welding. it typically uses Constant voltage DC+ current. It uses a wire feeder that supplies the electrode to the weld puddle and shields the molten weld puddle with inert gas (argon/co2 blend). Filler wire and shielding gas depend on the metal being welded.
How can you keep the arc from spattering as you weld?
for mig welding spatter can be reduced by amp, voltage and wire speed adjustment. check shielding gas. stick welding check the recommended voltage, amps and application for the rod you are using keep your arc short. tig welding, be sure you are using the proper tungsten, and shielding gas and filler rod for the metal you are welding, don't dip the tungsten. make sure the metal you are welding is clean .
What is the best tig welding wire to use on 9010 cuni?
RN 67 if your welding 9010 to 9010 you will need RN 60 if welding cuni to carbon steel an if welding to stainless you will need RN 82
Shielded metal arc welding is sometimes called welding?
It is sometimes called "stick welding", because of the filler metal. The filler metal is in the form of heavy wire coated with flux.
What is a welding lead?
the welding lead is the cable coming from the welding machine that either feeds the wire and shielding gas (mig) or or provides current to the electrode through the holder

Definition of argon welding?
A.K.A. Gas Metal Arc Welding -- Semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.

MIG welding compared to flux core welding?
Flux core is a type of MIG welding.... please kind of know what your talking about before you ask a question.... Gas assisted solid mig wire welding is neater and cleaner. There are two types of flux core mig welding that you are talking about. 1. Gasless flux core mig wire 2. Shielded flux cored welding wire, uses a shielding gas as well. Most likely you are talking about the gasless mig wire. look here for more info: www.learn-how-to-weld.com/gasless-mig-wire.html
What is the best tig welding wire to use on 9010 cuni?
RN 67 if your welding 9010 to 9010 you will need RN 60 if welding cuni to carbon steel an if welding to stainless you will need RN 82
What is the purpose of gas in MIG welding?
Metal inert gas (MIG) welding, is a process upon where a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun. If this is not enough information, there are many great articles about it on the web.
Shielded metal arc welding is sometimes called welding?
It is sometimes called "stick welding", because of the filler metal. The filler metal is in the form of heavy wire coated with flux.
Aluminum enameled wire welding knowledge summary?
Enameled wire welding and paint stripping
How do you calculate welding filler metal in mig welding?
A number of factors go into this: base material thickness, joining material thickness, wire thickness, shielding gas composition, angle of weld, etc. The best way to determine this is to measure your material, then open your MIG welder, find the wire size of the spool, and read the chart inside of the MIG Welder door.
Is mig welding a forge welding?
No, Forge welding is the simplest form of welding where two metals are heated to a state than can be forced to meld into each-other such as hammering or by other mechanical means such as a press. MIG Welding is short for Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW). This is a process which uses electricity to melt the parent metal and the electrode (wire) while shielded by a inert gas to keep contamination's (our atmosphere (aka air)) out of the weld puddle. Forge welding uses brute force and heat to join metals while MIG welding uses electricity and a shielding gas.
