FCAW ????

Flux Cored Arc Welding

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flux-cored_arc_welding

Interesting, but what is the difference between that and flux core mig
welding?

What do you mean by 'flux core mig welding'?

If you mean using flux cored wire on a wire feed welder, then the answer
is there is no difference at all. Same thing.

If you mean using some type of shield gas when you say mig (Metal Inert
Gas or GMAW - Gas Metal Arc Welding
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_metal_arc_welding), then you are talking
about dual shielding, which is flux cored wire used with an inert gas
shielding your work as well. In which case the only difference is you are
running gas with FCAW. Which if I remember right it lets you run heavier
wire than you can with just FCAW alone.

I'm still trying to figure out if stryped is merely thick or a troll.  Right
now, I just have him filtered.  I'm beginning to think he's a thick troll.

I don't know either, but I was trying to nudge him to wikipedia or goggle.
