In this episode we will cover how to choose the right welding gases and when is the best time to use them.
It is very easy to just use what you have and think that you’re safe. But in many cases you have to use specific gases for different materials. If you use the wrong ones, your welds won’t be worth a dime.
I also answer a great finishing question on how to get that rustic look without actually letting your metal rust.
Rust = Death to metal
And the 1st ever At Home Welder contest is born with a grand prize worth over $500.

Send your name ideas to weldingtips@theathomewelder.com
I’m going to choose the best one and give the winner the entire railings course for free. That’s well over $500 worth of material. Even if I decide not to use it, you still get the course.

um… when using a MIG/TIG the gas is not burning it is conducting, so Mixed Gas is less conductive so it is not as effective. Also CO2 is much dirtier then Argon, and other Gases. Next Argon, and CO2 are not flammable they are as you have stated before inert, Thus there is no flame but a large electrical arc. Furthormore Flux is not a gas when applied but turns to gas when melted/heated.
