It's so the arc burns in an inert atmosphere so no oxidation ,no need to grind the ****ty weld.
When I wielded the welding rod for a living.one firm I worked for paid a bonus for the ammount of fuel storage tanks you could complete, they couldn't work out how fast I could knock them out.it was light gauge metal10 swg if my memory serves.I used the biggest welding rod we had and around 300amps . As long as you welded vertical down and were bloody fast and didn't hang around at the start and finish you got a perfect weld bead that passed all inspections Couldn't do it now,without lots of practice. Used to do a lot of pipework vertical down (stoveing) use it or loose it
Never bloody stopped mate and I've been retired since 1994, early I must add.I'm booked to fly early September but not holding my breath. Hope things work out for you .
Does this mean there is contamination/rust inside my weld that could have negative effect?
Still nothing for me, I will have to find a new job when this lockdown ends

Yes,the shielding gas is there for a purpose hope it wasn't anything structural. Good luck on the job front.

If things do not pick up soon I will be struggling to keep the P38 but I will not let it go without a proper fight
Are you feeling better? Last I remember they were nearly working you to death, literally
I'm fine, its been OK I cant do a lot to be honest, and I wouldn't mind betting as soon as we go back to work, some **** will happen to me, I'm using a lot of Nitrolingual and that's not a good sign, I hope you fine a job for yourself soon then, and you get a bit of luck your wayDoes this mean there is contamination/rust inside my weld that could have negative effect?
