Dual shield flux core is a trade name and is also called fcaw-g which stands for 'flux cored arc welding gas shielded"

Dual shield flux core excels for out of position welding like vertical uphill and overhead....especially when its not feasible to clean hot rolled mill scale before welding.

One lesser known useful tip for folks who do on site fabrication/installation is that dual shield is available in .035" diameter and can be used very effectively with small machines like the small portable lincoln powermig 210mp and the newer version 211 and 215 multi process machines.

Being able to weld in all positions without cleaning metal perfectly speeds up the work.

And being able to use  generator power with a small inexpensive inverter welder opens up a lot of possibilities for small welding businesses.
