Instructions. Know what metal you are welding. Welders have figured out that nitrogen, as well as hydrogen, works well with stainless steels. If your metal is stainless steel, then nitrogen welding gas is a good choice. Put on your protective gear. This includes gloves, a welding jacket and a welding mask.
Shielding gas protection. Shielding gases for MIG/GMAW welding. The basic gas for MIG/MAG welding is argon (Ar). Helium (He) can be added to increase penetration and fluidity of the weld pool. Argon or argon/helium mixtures can be used for welding all grades.
