Well gas is not used in the same manner as used in oxy-acteylene welding where it is used in the combustion process.

In MIG and TIG welding, gas is used as a shielding gas to keep oxygen away. That is my understanding.

One day, I will have a nice TIG set-up; at the moment, my oxy-acetylene set-up is a good all around tool to have.
