The effect of replacing argon by nitrogen was investigated for the purÂ­pose of reducing welding costs. The study reveals that nitrogen can very well be used to replace argon for purging in pipe welding without any adverse effects on the properties of the unstabilized austenitic stainless steels.
You can use argon as a shielding gas for either MIG or TIG welding. Argon is merely the gas used in the process. When using stainless wire in a MIG welding process you can use 100% argon gas. TIG welding of aluminum uses 100% argon also.
