Argon fluorohydride, HArF, was first synthesized in Finland in 2000. Other than research, it has no known industrial or commercial uses. HArF is one of those unique compounds in which an "inert" element (argon) can form a true covalent bond with other elements.
It is used as an inert gas - or shield gas - for certain types of welding. It is often found as a gas inside incandescent light bulbs - instead of the vacuum that used to be used.
Gas lasers - like the Argon-Ion laser also use Argon - these lasers usually lase at several wavelengths, among them are the cyan one (around 488nm I think) and also a green one - though not as green as the 532nm you would get from a dpss laser (solid state pumped by 808nm IR diode, converted to 1064nm by a crystal and then finally a second crystal (KTP) doubles the frequency and halves the wavelength to 532nm
sorry I went off tack a bit there - so in summary, three uses are:-
Inert gas for welding
Inert gas for filling incandescent bulbs instead of using a vaccum
Argon-Ion lasers.
There are many other uses too - eg: discharge tubes, certain types of flash arrerstors etc

There are trace amounts in the atmosphere but nothing we can detect without delicate equipment.
Some professions use Argon on a day to day basis. Certain types of welding for instance.
In electronics, argon is most often used as a gas in high intensity lasers. Its inert properties allow high heat levels to create long-distance transmission of the beam
Argon is an inert gas which is used in welding processes to replace air around the weld. This ensures that the oxygen in the air will not cause oxidisation of the weld.
Well neon is used for of course neon signs and i am not sure what argon is used for, hope this helps!-_-
We use things made with it all the time because it's a very common shielding gas for welding.
Light bulbs. i think
Argon gas cannot react with most substances, and can extinguish a flame if it displaces enough of the oxygen around the burning material. Argon is used as an inert gas in electric arc welding to prevent oxygen from reacting with the heated materials, such as aluminum and titanium.
In general none. However, argon is often used to clear out tanks which are filled with explosive or combustible gases. Argon, being a dense gas will collect at the bottom of such a tank and poses a risk of death by asphyxiation.
Argon and helium are a couple of inert gasses used in lamps.
Argon, in group 18, period 3, is a noble gas.
Oxygen and acetylene. A cutting head for an oxy-acetelyne torch has a trigger with greatly increases the oxygen in the mixture when activated. To cut, the excess oxygen in the flame basically burns the metal away.

An argon gas analyzer measures the purity of Argon gas. The analyzer can be used to determine the actual content of Argon gas in a specific sample.
argon is used in lamps
Neon and argon are used as a gas starter in sodium lamps.
Argon does not react. :)
the answer is argon
Because argon is an inert gas, don't react with metals.
In its natural form, argon is a gas, not a mineral!
Argon gas is used in windows.

Argon is used as a protective gas in the process of preparation of silicon crystals.
