Argon is often used when an inert atmosphere is needed. It is used in this way to protect the weld area and in incandescent light bulbs to stop oxygen from corroding the filament. Argon is used in fluorescent tubes and low-energy light bulbs. A low-energy light bulb often contains argon gas and Mercury. When it is switched on an electric discharge passes through the gas, generating UV light. The coating on the inside surface of the bulb is activated by the UV light and it glows brightly. Double-glazed windows use argon to fill the space between the panes. The tyres of luxury cars can contain argon to protect the rubber and reduce road noise.

How do people get argon?

Argon is obtained through the fractional distillation of liquid air. When air is cooled and liquefied, it can be separated into its components based on their boiling points, with argon being one of the gases that remains in liquid form at very low temperatures. Once separated, the argon can be collected and stored for various industrial uses.
