Default uses for fluxcore welding?

what can you Fabricate with a flux welder? i know you can make; charge pipes, exhaust setups, manifold (are iffy) you can make atleast logs right?, what about an intake manifold?, mounts?, suspension parts? like strut bars mainly...

most of that stuff im not worried about it being pretty maybe a few wraps of foil to keep the splatter down but as long as its functional

sorry for the noobish question but a search on fluxcore didnt bring up everything i was looking for...

The last strut bar I flux'd turned out pretty wicked... just crank the heat up . I haven't tried tinfoil yet.

Fluxcore is like the next step above JB weld. I've always wanted to try out a spool of AL wire and a tank of argon but kinda weary on how it would turn out since AL wire is kinda pricey last I checked at like 35 bucks. But if it's steel it's fluxcoreable. Hell I know you shouldn't weld SS with just plain ol' fluxcore since it's kind of a waste but it welds really nice and I actually got less splatter and could lay a nice bead with it.

Yep, all flux core. I can even use it with pie cuts. I have a Home Depot Lincoln... 5th pic
