Shielding gas for TIG
Posted: Fri Apr 17, 2015 5:40 pm
I am new to Tig and Mig and haven't even laid a bead yet, as I am still waiting for my welder to arrive.
I bought a tank of 75/25 Argon/CO2 for the Mig and was about to get tank of 100% Argon for the Tig, but then read that some prefer 50/50 Argon/He.
I will be primarily welding steel and stainless and not aluminium until I get a spool gun.
What gas or gas mix do you guys like for Tig on steel and stainless?
Thanks
