   MIG stainless - you have to "hot-up" the arc and give fluidity.  1% O2   
   in Ar is the best economically achievable for MIG stainless.   
   MIG stainless with 100%Ar is next-to-useless - no penetration and little   
   fluidity (I have tried putting TIG gas (100%Ar) on a MIG welder with   
   stainless wire - that is the limit of my experience).   
   TIG is inherently penetrative - runs perfectly on 100%Ar, as you know.
