Can carbon monoxide be used in welding instead of Argon?
Mustashi113
Carbon Dioxide iswidely used for MIG welding but I never heard of carbon monoxide and it is definitely not used in the industry as shielding gas. The purpose of the shielding gas is not just shielding the weld pool but offer arc stability with an adequate ionization potential. The heat and electrical conducctivity of the gas at the arc temperature are a huge factor as well.

Oxygen - No Nitrogen - No Carbon Monoxide - Yes Argon - No
Any names of 10 gases?
Acetaldehyde- Argon- Carbon Dioxide- Carbon Monoxide- Helium- Hydrogen- Methane- Neon- Nitrogen- Oxygen
What kind of gaseous mixtures are in air?
what is the name of the mix gas in te air
Which gas is odorless and colorless?
No, let's try to take carbon monoxide in room temperature, it's not odorless
What is the gas for welding?
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
Is the gas argon the same as carbon monoxide?
No, argon is an element, carbon monoxide is a compound.
What are some colorless gases?
Nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide...
Does farts contain methain?
yes along with gases in the atmosphere (argon, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide and oxygen)

Oxygen - No Nitrogen - No Carbon Monoxide - Yes Argon - No
What are the argon carbon dioxide carbon monoxide nitrogen and oxygen contents of Mars' atmosphere?
According to NASA, the atmosphere of Mars is about 95-96% Carbon Dioxide, 2-3% Nitrogen, 1-2% Argon, and 0.1-0.2% Oxygen, 0.01-0.02% Carbon Monoxide with the "Other gases" making up less than 1% of the atmosphere.
How is carbon monoxide created during welding?
welding gasses are used to block out oxygen from the weld, using an oxide would not be ideal A: Steel is welded with an Argon/Carbon Dioxide mix....mostly carbon dioxide. 15%/85%. Perhaps CO is too reactive to iron. It is 5 times more likely to bind with the hemoglobin in your blood than oxygen. Probably increases chances of being DEAD. I imagine it would be more expensive than CO2 as well as CO2 is pretty comonly used!!
Which compressed gases are used for welding?
For example argon or helium for TIG welding. Oxi-fuel welding: oxygen and a combustible gas: acetylene, propane, butane, propylene, gasoline, hydrogen, etc.
Are there killed carbon steel pipe-fittings?
Yes. Argon gas welding is often used for killed steel welding to inhibit the oxidation of the steel.

What gasses would an alien on Mars breathe?
Mostly Carbon Dioxide and Nitrogen, but there are traces of other gasses as well, such as Argon, Carbon Monoxide, and Oxygen.
