You have your flux core welder, your wire and a power supply and you can weld. ![]() No separate tank of high pressure gas is needed with this type of wire. ![]() (If you want to know how that works, take a look at this what is flux core welding article). The core of the wire produces gas that shields the hot metal from the surrounding air as you weld. One type of flux core wire is called self shielded.

Unique to flux core welders a spool of flux core welding wire that sits inside the welder and is continuously fed into the weld.Ī flux core welder uses the FCAW (Flux Core Arc Welding) process to weld. Where stick welders use rods of specific lengths and diameters of flux core wire. Only Stick welders and Flux core welders use tubular welding wire – a wire that has a flux core and that flux core produces slag that covers the weld pool. There are other types of welders that use an electrical arc – TIG, MIG and Stick welders.
