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. 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.
