Mig Welding Carbon Steel Gas. The gases we recommend for MIG welding carbon steel are our Sureshield range of gas mixes. You can work on stainless steel carbon steel or various kinds of metal.
CO 2 and argon-CO 2 mixtures are known as metal active gas MAG processes. The typical gas pressure when welding with MIG tends to be around 3 to 8 psi this is very low compared to other types of welding. And for that matter the reason Argon gas is used mainly for carbon steel welding.
CO2 vs ArgonCO2 Mix 08mm to 12mm steel CO2 doesnt maintain an arc as well as Argon Mix.
Mild steel or low-carbon steel is easier to weld or machine and is more affordable than high carbon steel. MIG gas rates tend to be very low compared to other forms of welding The gas flow rate from the shield gas is measured in CFM or Cubic Feet Per Minute. C25 and 100 percent CO2 are the most commonly used gasses for carbon steel with some mixture of argon carbon dioxide and oxygen often recommended as well MIG Welding Gases nd. The typical gas pressure when welding with MIG tends to be around 3 to 8 psi this is very low compared to other types of welding.
