I just got a MIG welder to keep my TIG company in the garage.
Can I use 100% argon with the MIG? I've been through a few welding books and can't find a good answer. Most of the opinions suggest that CO2 mix is used to save money over pure argon, but don't really say wheather or not 100% argon is appropriate for MIG welding. If I can have one bottle, it would be easier. |

I think MIG gas is 80% Argon and 20% CO2
It comes pre-mixed, so no need for seperate bottles Dunno if 100% Argon wurks... |
