The gas is going to depend on what style of welding you are doing. For TIG (tungsten inert gas) it is 100% argon. For heliarc, which is a form of TIG, it is 100% helium. For MIG (metal inert gas) it is 75% argon/ 25% carbon dioxide. Finally, for gas welding, it acetylene and oxygen--separate tanks.
(my son helped on this one)
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
What type of welding can we use LPG ?
Some methods are used: - electron beam welding - laser beam welding - gas wolfram arc welding - gas metal arc welding - resistence welding - brazing
MAPP gas can reach temperatures of around 3,720 degrees Fahrenheit when used for welding or soldering.
Yes, map gas is hotter than propane when used for welding or soldering.
why oxyacetylene filler rods cannot be used for gas tungusten ar welding
TIG welding uses Argon.
If by gas welding you mean-oxyacetylene welding. The difference is just that arc welding requires a darker shade of lens. When oxyfuel gas welding (OFW) usually a shade 5 lens is recommended. When arc welding, a minimum of shade 10 lens should be used (actually shade should be determined by amount of current used).

Argon welding, also known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), is a welding process that uses a non-consumable tungsten electrode to create a welding arc. Argon gas is typically used as the shielding gas to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination. This process is commonly used for welding non-ferrous metals, stainless steel, and thin materials.

The most common gas used in welding is a mixture of argon and carbon dioxide, known as shielding gas. This gas helps protect the weld pool from contaminants in the air and stabilizes the arc during the welding process.
