Benefits of Using Flux Core Welding Wire

The main benefit of self-shielded cored wires is that you can weld without gas because they are built with materials that help to shield the weld pool from oxidation and other contaminants. The flux inside the wire also provides additional alloying elements to the weld to improve the strength and ductility of the weld. Further benefits include:

  • Versatility: Flux-cored wires can be used on various materials, including mild steel, stainless steel, and even low-alloy steels.
  • Portability: Eliminating the need for external gas tanks makes flux-cored welding setups more portable and ideal for outdoor or field work.
  • Wind Resistance: The self-generated gas shield is less susceptible to wind compared to external shielding gas, making flux-cored wires suitable for windy environments.
  • Ease of Use: For beginners, flux-cored wire can be easier to use as it eliminates the need to set up and manage an external gas supply.

Explaining Some Key Terms Around Flux Cored Welding Wire

Solid Wires vs. Flux-Cored Wires: Solid MIG welding wires require an external shielding gas (like argon or CO2) to protect the weld pool. In contrast, flux cored wires are self-shielded, eliminating the need for an external gas supply.

Gasless MIG Welding: This term specifically refers to MIG welding using flux-cored wires, as they don't require an external shielding gas.

Shielding Gas & Shielded vs. Self-Shielded: Shielding gas refers to the external gas used in MIG welding with solid wires. Self-shielded refers to the flux-cored wire's ability to generate its own shielding gas from its internal core.

You can order flux cored welding wire online for delivery or click and collect from your nearest store - Store Locator. If you can’t find what you are looking for or have any queries, please contact us and we will be more than happy to help!
