except that it can also be used for MIG..........right?Yes but there is no advantage over using a standard Ar/He/H2 mix

Yep that's trueexcept that it can also be used for MIG..........right?
625 can weld every ferrous metal, steel, stainless, cast iron, alloy steel. As Richard says its also used a lot in the oil industry to clad pipes and to join pipes made from high strength steel (625 also has high strength).
I guess if your jobs are that varied its a viable proposition but for general day to day stuff I doubt if its worth the outlay. I dont really know what the cost and rental costs are for gas (Ive always been supplied free of charge but thats another story).
Ive also seen 625 on ebay for very little so you may drop lucky.
Just a thought, as that looks like handy wire to have a small reel of for odd jobs - does the gas need to be the mix containing argon and hydrogen, or will pure argon or an argon mix typically used for steel work with it?
Yep that's true
As al said you might find a cheaper price for it somewhere but the going price for inconel 625 is around the £30/kg. a small reel of half a kg could be 15quid if they exist. Go for a 5kg reel and you might be paying well over a £100. It is a lot of brass for a just in case for handy jobs wire. It's not designed for the hobby user to keep a reel for rainy days it's a corrosion resistant high strength wire. I would assume been high strength ductility would be low but that I'm unsure of as it's high nickel content may help with ductility. That's one for Al I think.Just a thought, as that looks like handy wire to have a small reel of for odd jobs - does the gas need to be the mix containing argon and hydrogen, or will pure argon or an argon mix typically used for steel work with it?
Its also got amazing ductility down to -196 oC...........its a SuperAlloy and justifiably soAs al said you might find a cheaper price for it somewhere but the going price for inconel 625 is around the £30/kg. a small reel of half a kg could be 15quid if they exist.

The first link is about what I expected in price (15 quid half kg) the second link though for 4kg is a good price.
So we have a universal MIG / TIG gas for mild steel and stainless..........providing its not a critical application (the hydrogen may cause some problems)
Whats it called?
Sorry ive got a bit over excited........you said its for 625
Sounds like it should be OK for MS / Stainless providing its not a critical part
Skotl, have you done any gas welding?
Norlander, get one of these masks for site welding, people accept anything you say when you flip the goggles up and give them the Mad Max Toecutter eyes!
hopes dashed againCronigon Ni 10. Wouldn't recommend it for carbon steel or aluminium though
hopes dashed again
is there one with less helium but still containing the Hydrogen and CO2
