Re: shield gas for MIG (score: 1): Author: Mike Frerichs <maf@radiks.net>; Date: Mon, 18 May 1998 18:43:49 -0500; I may be wrong, but I suspect that the books you've read said to use the mix for steel in order to save money. You may NEED argon for aluminum (I have no aluminum welding experience) but it will also; /html/shop-talk/1998-05/msg00074.html (8,622 bytes)
5. Re: shield gas for MIG (score: 1): Author: Susan and John Roper <vscjohn@iamerica.net>; Date: Mon, 18 May 1998 21:25:02 -0500; I must disagree. You cannot use CO2 to shield aluminum. On mild steel you can use CO2, a mix or Argon. CO2 is cheaper and your setup will be slightly different. I use argon for everything because I n; /html/shop-talk/1998-05/msg00075.html (8,326 bytes)
6. Re: shield gas for MIG (score: 1): Author: Trevor Boicey <tboicey@brit.ca>; Date: Mon, 18 May 1998 23:58:59 -0400; This would back up what I was told as well. For mild steel the 75A/25C works great. For aluminum, pure Argon is the only way to go, but it's more expensive so it's a waste of money if you are welding; /html/shop-talk/1998-05/msg00076.html (7,941 bytes)

Re: shield gas for MIG (score: 1): Author: fzampa@cennet.mc.peachnet.edu (Fred Zampa); Date: Tue, 19 May 1998 17:22:19 -0400 (EDT); actually, i don't remember, but i am pretty certain that the mixed gas is used because it produces a better weld-not just because it is cheaper. there was a whole big deal about how the weld globs f; /html/shop-talk/1998-05/msg00078.html (9,339 bytes)

CO2 gives the least penetration. You are less likely to burn through on thin material. The argon-CO2 is cleaner with less spatter and surface oxide bu; /html/shop-talk/1998-05/msg00079.html (8,295 bytes)
