FCMAW can be done with or without shielding gas depending on the wire used

two types are innershield and outershield but the flux is in the center of the wire in both, done with shielding gas it gives very deep penetrating welds

Technically, the term for MIG (Metal Inert Gas) has recently been changed to GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding). Why? I dunno...

it was changed with the advent of FCMAW (Flux Core Metal Arc Welding)

worked out great though there are still a few proud rivet heads
