Set a moderate flow rate and shield the area from draughts, which blow the gas away and cause porosity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/blockquote\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently asked questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is this cylinder for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt supplies argon-CO2 mixed shielding gas for welding steel with a MIG\/MAG welder.
