The term flux means to clean. Not all welding processes use a flux. Stick welding electrodes contain fluxing agents. MIG hard wire doesn't but flux-cored MIG wire does. TIG does not as the rods are bare. Most brazing applications require flux. Gas welding usually doesn't except for certain metals.
The flux is the outer coating on a welding rod. The flux is a very important part of the welding rod.
saw stands for suberged arc welding, where the weld is submerged underneath the flux

The primary purpose of flux is "to clean". It mixes with the elements in the molten puddle and removes impurities. As it cools it floats to the surface and creates the slag which prevents Oxygen from attacking the Iron.

MIG welding with flux core wire offers advantages such as higher welding speed, better penetration, and increased portability compared to other welding methods.
Flux core welding gas offers advantages such as increased welding speed, deeper penetration, and better performance in windy conditions compared to other welding techniques.
Yes, flux core welding does not require the use of gas because the flux core wire itself produces a shielding gas to protect the weld from contamination.

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

Flux means to clean The flux becomes liquid, mixes with the molten puddle, picks up impurities and floats them to the surface.

In (SMAW) Shielded Metal Arc Welding 'stick welding': Flux is the substance added to to molten metals to bond with impurities that can be readily removed. Slag is the waste material which is removed.
