Most of the better quality wire welding machines will weld very well using straight CO2 as the shielding gas. Straight Co2 is recommended for general fabrication or repair work that will not require much clean up.If the weld is decorative, or body shop type work, it is recommended to use the Argon/CO2 mix. There will be a smoother bead, and very little spatter. The mixture will always leave a more aesthetically pleasing weld.  more
