Should one use a ligher or darker lens when inert gas arc welding?

I do not believe the gas itself will change the arc brightness much, if any at all, but if you need to change your amperage to weld quicker because of the gas i.e. more amps to weld overhead using Argon (because its heavier than air) then you would need a darker lens. its best to simply match your amps and shade. A shade 12 is fine for most arc unless you go over 300 amps.

What is a welding machine?
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
What is a automated welding machine?
metal inert gas (MIG) welding
Why should gas metal arc welding oonly be used in climate controlled areas?
inert gas
What kind of welding method should be used for thin gauge pipes?
Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG)
What does mig stand for in mig welding?
MIG stands for metal inert gas. It is a non-standard term for gas metal arc welding (GMAW) and flux cored arc welding (FCAW) according to the American Welding Society (AWS). It is simply Metal Inert Gas.
Why argon is used in welding?
Argon is an inert gas. At the high temperatures which are reached during welding the metals involved can get highly reactive. An inert environment prevents chemical reactions.
How is argon used in welding?
As an inert gas, it shields the weld from oxygen and corrosion during the melting process. Tig welding means "through inert gas".
Why argon used in welding?
Argon is an inert gas. At the high temperatures which are reached during welding the metals involved can get highly reactive. An inert environment prevents chemical reactions.
What is full form of MIG welding?
metal inert gas
Why is argon used as a gas in welding?
Argon is an inert gas. At the high temperatures which are reached during welding the metals involved can get highly reactive. An inert environment prevents chemical reactions.
What is full form of TiG and MiG welding?
TIG Tungstun Inert Gas & MIG Metal Inert Gas.
What are that 2 noble gases used to protect during welding?
Helium and argon are used as inert gases in welding.
