In my opinion flux cored wire will not help to protect your root side
of the weld. This because the slag will only be present on the face
side after welding.
Only proper way to protect against oxidation is the use of backing
gas, if this isn't possible you have to accept oxidation of the root
which will certainly influence your corrosion resistance.
