C02 is used as an active shielding gas in MIG welding. Its purpose is to protect the weld area from atmospheric gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor. C02 provides a narrower weld bead yet deeper penetration compared to an argon/mix gas. Ideal for thin materials like panel steel fabrication, through to Gas Shielded Flux cored wires.
