Thread: MIG welding - gas or flux core?

Thanks Hotroddaddy! One great thing about this place is all the help for people like me, new to welding, etc.
It's funny, because a few months ago I was fretting about how to get the truck to an exhaust place, running it with straight headers, and not getting a noise ticket! Now I can do it myself, and with the savings, put it right back into the engine! Some bodytold me, once you get one you'll find all sorts of things to use it on. Now I see why!

You can use a 2 % oxygen 98 % argon for a spray arc. Works great on steel as the spatter is almost nonexistant. It's a very quiet arc when done correctly. We use it at work all the time on up to 1 inch thick. Also lots of heavy TIG wielding 200-300 amps.
