MIG welding aluminum requires the right gas, and the best gas for MIG welding aluminum is a combination of argon and helium. Argon is used to shield the welding arc from contaminants and helps to increase welding speed. Helium provides a higher heat input, which helps to penetrate thicker materials. The combination of argon and helium creates a stable arc, with excellent penetration and minimal spatter.

Best gas for mig welding aluminum Buying guide
MIG welding aluminum requires special consideration when selecting a gas. The most popular gas for MIG welding aluminum is argon, which is an inert gas that shields the weld from oxidation. Argon is also the most expensive of the inert gases and can be expensive to refill. A cheaper alternative is a mix of argon and CO2, which is known as C25. This mix is still effective at shielding the weld from oxidation but is usually cheaper than pure argon. Another option is helium, which is the lightest of the inert gases and provides the most shielding power, but it is also the most expensive. In general, any of the three gases can be used for MIG welding aluminum, but it is important to consider the cost of the gas and the shielding power it provides when making a choice.
