AGTAW Activating Fluxes

(OP)
Hello everyone, has anybody had experience GTAW on a side beam or seamer using an activating flux? I have been exposed to the FASTIG SS-7 use on stainless steels in the 7-10 gauge thickness range. Any thoughts on how this may affect the weld material properties? Visually it cleans up very nicely, but when welding on a AL6XN material pores are starting to pop up. There is .20% copper in the AL6XN, so they could be forming copper sulfides with the flux. Any information or experience with this would be appreciated.
