Question 1

What's the difference between Flux Core MIG and standard MIG Welding

Accepted Answer

Flux core MIG welding creates its own shielding gas, making it great for outdoor, high-penetration work without a gas tank but leaves slag. Regular MIG welding uses external gas for cleaner, precise welds with less spatter, ideal for shop settings and thinner materials.

Question 2

Do I need any experience to take this class?

Nope! This class serves as an introduction level class for anybody who wants to learn Flux Core MIG Welding, no prior experience level is required!
