If you are purging the tig weld just continue the purge for the 7018 pass/passes.
Once the pipe is completely purged and the root pass is in you can reduce the argon flow rate to almost nothing. Welding doesn't create oxygen inside the pipe and the 'mill scale' is iron oxide.
No oxygen... no scale.
