Just how similar is flux core welding to mig (I know that mig uses shielding gas and flux core does not)?

I know that flux core welding is done with a wire that has it's own shielding built in, so you don't have to use a cylinder of shielding gas. I have done a fair amount of flux core welding at home on my little POS welder.

flux core requires flux granuals covering the weld pit this creates an inert cover during welding
I suppose arc welding is similar but with for smaller welds thinner material. Flux welding is done on heavy shedule pipework or material. I used to weld heavy presure vessels on rollers with a flux welder, you can up the power, current and place far more material so shortening the welding period and once you ge the process running weld flaws are mitigates

where as metal inert gas prevents air impurities getting during welding but as far far smaller rates unless you had cylinders or cylinders of argon or helium which you could do as well
