Is helium valuable what industries use it?

Answer 1

yes. The most important single use for helium in the United States is in low-temperature cooling systems. This is because liquid helium-at -270°C-s cold enough to cool anything else. For example, it is used in superconducting devices.

A superconducting material is one that has no resistance to the flow of electricity. Once an electric current begins to flow in the material, it will continue to flow forever. No energy is wasted in moving electricity from one place to another. Superconducting materials may revolutionize electrical systems worldwide someday. The problem is that superconductivity occurs only at very low temperatures. One way to achieve those temperatures is with liquid helium.

Another important use of helium is in pressure and purge systems. In many industrial operations, it is necessary to pressurize a system. The easiest way to do that is to pump a gas into the system. But the gas should not be one that will react with other substances in the system. Being inert, helium is a perfect choice. Helium is also used for purging, a process that sweeps away all gas in a container. Again, helium is used because it does not react with anything in the container.

Helium is used to inflate balloons and other lighter-than-air crafts, such as dirigibles (blimps).

Because of its inactivity, helium is also used in welding systems. Welding is the process by which two metals are heated to high temperatures in order to join them to each other. Welding rarely works well in "normal" air. At high temperatures, the metals may react with oxygen to form metal oxides. If they do, they are less likely to join to each other. If the welding is done in a container of helium, this is not a problem. The metals will not react with helium. They will simply join to each other.

Answer 2

Yes, helium is valuable due to its unique properties such as being non-reactive, lightweight, and having a low boiling point. Industries that use helium include aerospace for filling balloons and airships, electronics for cooling purposes, healthcare for MRI machines, and research laboratories for various experiments.
