Carbon Dioxide (CO2) is the most common of the reactive gases used in MIG welding and the only one that can be used in its pure form without the addition of an inert gas. CO2 is also the least expensive of the common shielding gases, making an attractive choice when material costs are the main priority. Pure CO2 provides very deep weld penetration, which is useful for welding thick material; however, it also produces a less stable arc and more spatter than when it is mixed with other gases. It is also limited to only the short circuit process.

Nitrogen Beer Mixes – Beer Gas
30% Carbon Dioxide balance Nitrogen. Generally used to pour thicker beers such as Guinness
40% Carbon Dioxide balance Nitrogen. For less carbonation
55% Carbon Dioxide balance Nitrogen. Suits most Sites
75% Carbon Dioxide balance Nitrogen for more carbonation in longer beer line runs/
Steel
We look after all maintenance of the cylinder it is a simple swap system.
Steel cylinders last only 5 years between tests because of CO2’s corrosive properties
