Industrial gases like Argon, CO₂, and Oxygen play a crucial role in shielding, cutting, and heating processes, ensuring clean, strong, and consistent welds.
Facts & Info:
-
Shielding Gases Prevent Contamination – Argon and CO₂ protect molten metal from oxidation.
-
Oxygen Enhances Cutting Efficiency – Used in oxy-fuel torches for cleaner cuts.
-
Nitrogen for Stainless Steel – Improves corrosion resistance and weld consistency.
-
Argon-CO₂ Mixes – Balance penetration and spatter control for MIG welding.
-
Proper Cylinder Handling – Prevents leaks and ensures safety in the workspace.
-
Storage & Labeling – Cylinders must be stored upright and clearly marked.
-
Pressure Regulators – Control gas flow for stable weld arcs.
-
Environmental Safety – Correct disposal prevents environmental harm.
