Shielding Gas Selection for Steels
The choice of gas depends on two factors, weld penetration and appearance. Pure argon provides the best looking welds,
but has the least weld penetration. To increase penetration C02 is added to the mix. C02 percentages range from 10% to
25% depending on the desired level of penetration. Stainless steel will typically use a mix of 82% Argon and 18% C02.
Other mixes are used to achieve different results.
