ranger 373 #1 Posted September 14, 2014 I don't know if this is in the right section, but I notice on occasion on various forums, members asking where to obtain Argon gas for mig welding. I have found a company 'Gas Direct' nr Newark,I opened an account and have just received a 50ltr bottle of argon/co2 15% and the same size of pure argon at a good price. If it is allowed on the forum I can post the prices I have paid. These are the large bottles ie BOC 'w' size Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ranger 373 #3 Posted September 14, 2014 I've used 5% on car bodywork and 20% on thicker metal, the 15% seems a good compromise,the pure argon I use for tig. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
