tried tig welding with co2/argon mix? Just curious what happens.
Reply:Why? 100% argon is cheap.Disclaimer; "I am just an a$$hole welder, don't take it personally ."
Reply:CO2 will disassociate in the arc to form Carbon and Oxygen. Aside from contaminating the tungsten it will have detrimental effects on the weld itself and change the way the arc behaves.Visit Tensaiteki.com
