Ignoring all the normal problems you could have in welding (see other answers) - Argon welding has specific concerns that you normally do not find in other types of welding. Never weld in an enclosed area (without air movement) Argon is a 'heavy' gas that displaces oxygen, if you were to weld with argon above a depression (tank, pit, pipe) the area below could become filled with Argon and entry could cause suffocation and or death. A small space can fill with argon quickly, and a air tight space can fill without detection. Also argon as a compressed gas can cause burns if the line is ruptured (-302F).

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.
What argon is with metal?
Argon is an inert gas. this is not the correct answer Nor was it complete. Argon is used in welding to shield the heated metal from oxidation. This is called TIG welding, which stands for Through Inert Gas. Argon does not react directly with the metal.
Why argon used in welding?
Argon is an inert gas. At the high temperatures which are reached during welding the metals involved can get highly reactive. An inert environment prevents chemical reactions.
Which gases are used in normal welding process?
Depends on what you think of as normal welding. Gas welding use oxygen-acetylene. MIG/TIG use Argon. MAG, use an argon-something mix. Depending on what materials you are welding, there are some more options tha might be used.
Why is argon used in welding Argon is used to give an inert atmosphere?
Yes it is. Argon is used to flood the area of the weld to keep oxygen away from the weld.
What is argon in welding?
It is a gas.

Whyargon welding is prefer instead of electric welding?
To my knowledge there is no process called Argon Welding. Argon is an inert gas used to protect the weld puddle when using the GTAW (TIG/Heliarc) and GMAW (MIG) process. Almost all welding processes utilize electricity. OAW (Oxy-Acetylene now called Oxy-Fuel) being the exception.
In welding what is the dengrous gas are there?
argon gas

Which process uses an insert gas used for welding?
TIG welding uses Argon.
Why argon used in welding?
Argon is an inert gas. At the high temperatures which are reached during welding the metals involved can get highly reactive. An inert environment prevents chemical reactions.
Why argon gas used for spot welding?
Because argon is an inert gas, don't react with metals.
What are the gases used in a hyperbaric welding chamber?
helium and argon

Why is argon used as a gas in welding?
Argon is an inert gas. At the high temperatures which are reached during welding the metals involved can get highly reactive. An inert environment prevents chemical reactions.
Which gas is use in gas welding?
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
