1: had to use higher voltage than expected
2: wire is very stiff, so keep your gun lead straight
3: with mild steel can clamp to the bench, but with stainless worked much better with clamp on material!
4: could achieve spray transfer but didn't penetrate well
5: welds were sooty on the outside but clean after brushing
6: ok penetration, steel bent in vice with no weld failure
7: small amounts of spatter after welding: was the stainless coated in something organic or was it the CO2 ???
8: not as pretty as TIG but much faster and easy for repetitive/tricky positions

Just wanted to post my experience with using the Ar/CO2/O2 mix with stainless:1: had to use higher voltage than expected2: wire is very stiff, so keep your gun lead straight3: with mild steel can clamp to the bench, but with stainless worked much better with clamp on material!4: could achieve spray transfer but didn't penetrate well5: welds were sooty on the outside but clean after brushing6: ok penetration, steel bent in vice with no weld failure7: small amounts of spatter after welding: was the stainless coated in something organic or was it the CO2 ???8: not as pretty as TIG but much faster and easy for repetitive/tricky positions
