question on welding gas
im abit confused on what type of gas i should buy, because they tell me there is straight argon and theres the mix. I mean what kind of gas do i need to weld both aluminum and stainless steel. I know this sounds like a noob question, but i would really appreciate the help.

I have a (newb) question on gas...I have a dual mig and want to try gas instead of flux core, just wondering how much it costs for a bottle and if there exists disposable bottles since i wont be using all that much

We use full Argon on the miller synchrowave 180sd for Aluminum and Stainless and We use an Argon / Co2 mix for the Mig. The Co2 allows it to burn a bit hotter and gets better penetration because of this.
