Ed, 
Nitrogen vs argon is a case of availability and cost.  Not sure about carbon dioxide. I will have to look into that, unless someone beats me to it.  😊

Subject: [TN] N2 vs. CO2, Argon, etc?

Hi all,

I didn't find a good answer for why N2 was chosen as an inert gas for soldering purposes. Why not CO2 or Argon?
