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 welding gas offers advantages such as increased welding speed, deeper penetration, and better performance in windy conditions compared to other welding techniques.

you dont .thats what the flux does.solid core wire needs gas
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
Welding process that uses both flux core, within the wire, and gas to protect the molten weld pool from contamination.
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.
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.
The gas acts as the flux would, in shielding the molten steel from the oxygen in the air.

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)
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.
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.
