Stargon???

[red79c3]

Hello All,

I'm using Stargon (90/8/2) for the first time and it just keeps farting and spurting on me every now and then.

When I use Argon (75/25) I weld just fine.

Any and all help please...

Thank you

Stargon???

Are you short arc welding or spray welding?

Believe your stargon is mainly for spray welding.

Someone in the know should be able to help you out.

Depends on if its a SS or CS blend, with that mixture it sounds like a SS blend, so Argon,CO2, Nitrogen and oxygen, 100% stainless steel.

from a quick search on praxair site there is no such thing as stargon being a tri-mix gas. What is the content of that mix?

(remember it was a quick search)

what kind of machine, wire, wire size, feed, voltage, gaz cfh and thickness and material you're attempting to weld?

Actually.....

if you check this gas cross reference under

ARGON / CARBON DIOXIDE / OXYGEN BLENDS

We will find STARGON listed as 90/8/2

No fault... No Foul...

Heck…. There are so many different gas blends marketed under dozens of tradenames…
About impossible to figure them out without a cross reference…
