Later well get into how it welds but for now here are the top advantages to MIG welding with 100 CO2. Board index Welding Discussion Mig and Flux Core - gas metal arc welding flux cored arc welding. Youll find ArgonCO2 blends labeled according to the percentage of CO2 gas in the mix.
This characteristic results in both benefits and negatives.
One of the most common gas mixtures for MIG welding is a mix of 75 percent argon to 25 percent carbon dioxide known as C25. ArgonCO2 mix or Argoshield result in easier and neater welds given an unrestricted choice of gas but a MIG welder can be used with CO2 pub gas if you can put up with increased spatter and a less steady arc. I use a co2 argon mix. Board index Welding Discussion Mig and Flux Core - gas metal arc welding flux cored arc welding.
