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.

What shielding gas do you use when welding with flux-cor wire?

you dont .thats what the flux does.solid core wire needs gas


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 dual shield welding?

Welding process that uses both flux core, within the wire, and gas to protect the molten weld pool from contamination.


What is welding flux?

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.


What are the advantages of using flux core with gas in welding applications?

Using flux core with gas in welding applications offers several advantages. The combination provides better weld penetration, higher welding speeds, and improved weld quality. Additionally, it reduces spatter and produces a cleaner weld bead. This method is also more versatile and can be used in various welding positions.


Why flux is not used in tungsten gas arc welding?

The gas acts as the flux would, in shielding the molten steel from the oxygen in the air.


Name the welding processes covered in this chapter which may use a shielding gas to shield the weld area?

What typy of welding machine do you need to weld steel?

Steel is such a commonly used metal that almost any welding machine can accommodate it. Some are better than others though. Steel is usually welded with either sick welding, or wire welding (gas shielded or flux core)


What part of a welding rod provides a gas shield to protect the molten metal?

The flux coating on a welding rod provides a gas shield to protect the molten metal during the welding process. The flux melts and releases gas to shield the weld pool from atmospheric contamination.


What does mig stand for in mig welding?

MIG stands for metal inert gas. It is a non-standard term for gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW) according to the American Welding Society (AWS). It is simply Metal Inert Gas.
