sapperb Member Messages 89 Location High Dezert, Cali May 25, 2010 #1 I am currently welding with 75% argon and 25% C02. Sometimes when my welds cool, they look gold in color. Is this good, bad. Over all the weld appears to have true penetration. Just wonder why. Thanks

sapperb Member Messages 89 Location High Dezert, Cali May 25, 2010 #3 1/8th steel sheeting and .30 Lincoln gas shielding wire, oh and my welder is a Lincoln 125.
