These inert gases are used in gas tungsten arc welding, and also in gas metal arc welding for the welding of non-ferrous metals. Semi-inert shielding gases, or activeshield gases, include carbon dioxide, oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen. These active gases are used with GMAW on ferrous metals.


How is oxygen used for gas welding?

Oxygen is used as active gas during MIG welding, spray transfer. It increases penetration and travel speeds. It is used only is small amounts though ususally 1%-5%. +++ The question mentioned "gas" welding, not any form of electric-arc process, and in oxy-acetylene and oxy-hydrogen welding the oxygen is necessary to raise the fuel-burning temperature to above the melting-point of steel.

What are welding electrodes used for?

Welding Electrorodes or Welding Rods are used in arc welding. Arc welding is a special type of welding which uses a welding power supply to create an electric arc between the base material (e.g. steel) and the electrode. The Welding Ectrorodes can be used for all weldable aluminum and mild steel.
