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.

Does flux core welding require the use of gas?

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.

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 do mean by flux and slag?

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.
