Tig welding gas

[tetomas]

Has anyone ever tried tig welding steel and stainless steel with mixed gas 75% Argon 25% CO2? Trying to keep from having a bottle of 75/25 for the mig welder and a bottle of 100% Argon for the tig welder. I dont do alot of welding but sometimes need to mig weld and sometimes need to tig weld. Just wondering.

No, it will instantly cause tungsten spit then just wreck it. I tried it when I was younger and in a pinch, epic fail. LOL!

Not possible in the least. Your going to have to have two bottles.
