Q: Can I use this with my titanium multi process welder

4 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: No, you cannot use the Hobart 5 lb. Argon/CO2 Shielding Gas Cylinder with your titanium multi-process welder to weld titanium. T his specific gas mix, typically 75% Argon and 25% CO2 (known as C25), is designed for welding steel. Titanium welding requires 100% pure, inert gas (argon or an argon-helium blend).

Q: What is the tank pressure when full?

9 months ago
1 Answer
  • A: Hello, thank you for your question. Per the vendor, "Pressure readings will vary according to ambient temperature and gage accuracy. Generally, you should start out around 1800-2000 psi. This will get regulated down to 15-30 CFH for typical MIG welding."

Most Helpful Favorable Review

Easy gas exchange!

5 years ago
I can't believe how easy and reasonable to exchange cylinders at a TSC Store! The welding supply company I usually use is 1 1/2 hours away and not that easy for me to get to. I purchased a Hobart MIG welder and then I bought this Argon / CO2 tank. I had a huge amount of welding to do on a very big project and I did not want to do it all with my stick welder. This was a great combo and I went through the first tank, they told me to keep the tank I returned out of the store and led me around side where we did a very simple exchange. Great prices, easy to use and very local!

Won't exchange

5 years ago
Went to a location in castroville and the lady with the key had left right after I called for confirmation. Had to buy a new bottle. Now time to exchange new bottle and they won't because it's not blue like theirs. I'm not buying a third. About to launch this one through their front door

DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME

a year ago
Good luck finding an Tractor Supply to exchange bottle. It was the only reason I bought it as getting gas cylinders filled on the weekend is impossible. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME TRYING TO EXCHANGE IT. YOU WILL HAVE TO GET IT FILLED.

No, I do not recommend this product.
