TLDR
In this article, the influence of hydrogen additions to an argon shielding gas on the heat input and weld bead morphology was investigated using the gas tungsten arc welding process, and it was found that weld bead size and shape with hydrogen additions were related to changes in the ability of the arc to generate heat and not to generate perturbations in the weld pool caused by Marangoni fluid flow.
Abstract
The influence of hydrogen additions to an argon shielding gas on the heat input and weld bead morphology was investigated using the gas tungsten arc welding process. Variations in weld bead size and shape with hydrogen additions were related to changes in the ability of the arc to generate heat and not to generate perturbations in the weld pool caused by Marangoni fluid flow

An investigation on the effects of gases in GTA welding of a wrought AZ80 magnesium alloy

TL;DR: In this article, the welding parameters and hydrogen concentration in the arc atmosphere were important in controlling porosity, and the two-dimensional heat-flow conditions of fully penetrating welds were capable of eliminating porosity and could make welding with hydrogen additions a possibility to consider.
