Hi Guys,
i have purchased a YORK EASY WELD BW612. Generally this machine is connected to MIG welding machine. But latter from my supplier we came to know that we need to use 25% argon gas & 75% CO2 gas. we are using Decamig 7600 with CO2 GAS for our normal operation. Is this machine is suitable for using both type of gases as told above. Or if anybody know mig welding machine suitable to use these gases.
Any suggestion?

Hey Ashvin,
Welcome to the Original AWS Welding Forum.

In the future, start your own post, don't hijack someone else's.

To answer your question, GMAW machines don't know or care which shielding gas you use. If your current process works, and you have all supporting documentation, why bother changing?
