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.

What are the advantages of using MIG welding with flux core wire compared to other welding methods?
MIG welding with flux core wire offers advantages such as higher welding speed, better penetration, and increased portability compared to other welding methods.
What Is The Correct Polarity For MIG Welding?
DCEP for standard Mig. DCEN for Flux Core
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 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.
Can a Lincoln Electric Handy MIG Welder use flux wire?
Yes it can. I use flux core wire because there is no need for gas with flux wire.
What type of flux is used for welding copper?
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.
What is MIG welding?
It is arc welding process using a spool of wire that is fed to the material by an electric motor. Different from shielded metal arc welding which uses consumable welding electrodes with a covering of flux to assist and protect the weld. The MIG uses an inert gas (IG) to keep impurities from the welding point. The technical term for MIG is GMAW (gas metal arc welding), this is because most of the time an inert gas is not used, a mixed gas is more likely. Ex. 90-10 Ar-CO2
Is an 55A-80A gasless mig welder any good for welding cars?
there is no such thing as a gasless mig welder because mig stands for metal inert gas. you must have tubular wire which has the flux in the wire. i would say you should get some s wire to do the job
What is a welding machine?
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
Plasma welding is an extension of?
Mig
How submerged aec welding arc welding is different from inert gas shilded arc welding?
Submerged arc welding uses a wire electrode (like MIG welding) and a granular flux to protect the puddle and add alloys to the weld. This flux is deposited into the weld area by a hopper/tube arrangement which relies on gravity. The operator cannot see the weld taking place and relies on gauges to ensure the process is proceeding correctly. This process can only be done in the flat position. On the positive side a large amount of weld is deposited compared to any other process. This process can be manual, semi or fully automated. In MIG welding (Inert Gas Shielded Arc Welding) the protective shield is an inert gas which allows the operator to see the weld as it takes place. It can also be manual, semi or fully automated.
What type of gas is used when mig welding steal?
When MIG welding STEEL a mixture of Argon -- CO2 is used. 75% - 25%
