Shielding gases

Someone school me on why there are specific inert gases for welding stainless, aluminum, steel, etc? Like why do you need a tri-mix for stainless as opposed to being able to use argon?

because

Mild Steel= C25 or Co2
Aluminium = 100% Argon
Stainless = Trimix
High-Nickel = 100% argon

I know "what", gases are used with each metal. I want to know "why", they are specific "to", each metal.

Stainless needs some oxygen to flash/consume the carbon depoit, don't know about others.

Because someone smarter than me took the time to figure out what works and what doesn't work... :flipoff2:
