You can use 100 percent argon, but you will not be satisfied with the bead you get when welding mild steel. Because Argon has a low thermal conductivity, you will end up with a finger-like penetration into the base metal as opposed to the broader even penetration of a 75/25 mix.
I just got a new argon - Co2 flow gauge but I'm not sure which scale do I use to set the flow? The inside numbers are for argon and the outside are for Co2 but if I'm planning on using either a 75/25 or 98/2 argon/Co2 mix so would I use the inside or outside? I asked the shop that I bought the...
Therefore, I anticipate using the same Argon shielding gas with both welders. Anyway, I've previously used the MIG welder solely with flux-core wire and I have a lot left on the spool.

new welder here. forgive me if this question is dumb. purchased a miller multimatic 215 so i can do mig and tig with same machine. it has a separate hose connection for argon/co2 (mig) and a separate hose connection for argon (tig). i have the 2 separate tanks hooked up to the separate...
need to get my argon tanks filled. I realize there are probably safety and legal reasons for carrying tanks upright (and possibly other reasons as well), but I'd like to leave those aside for the moment, and simply ask THIS: is it 'bad for" the argon (or argon gas mixtures) IN the tanks to...
