Which gases are used in normal welding process?

Depends on what you think of as normal welding. Gas welding use oxygen-acetylene. MIG/TIG use Argon. MAG, use an argon-something mix. Depending on what materials you are welding, there are some more options tha might be used.


Does this make argon a good material to use when welding?

The answer depends on what "this" refers to.


Which gas is use in gas welding?

oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding


What is argon in welding?

It is a gas.


What is the gas for welding?

Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.


In welding what is the dengrous gas are there?

argon gas


What argon is with metal?

Argon is an inert gas. this is not the correct answer Nor was it complete. Argon is used in welding to shield the heated metal from oxidation. This is called TIG welding, which stands for Through Inert Gas. Argon does not react directly with the metal.


Which process uses an insert gas used for welding?

TIG welding uses Argon.


Why would a welder use helium and argon gases during welding?

Argon is an inert gas so metals can be heated to a high temperature in an argon atmosphere without any danger of their reacting with surrounding materials.


Can you use argon instead of oxygen with propylene?

No. Propylene is oxidised in presence of oxygen and the reaction is exothermic. The heat generated is used in welding. Argon is chemically inert and will not result in combustion.


Why argon used in welding?

Argon is an inert gas. At the high temperatures which are reached during welding the metals involved can get highly reactive. An inert environment prevents chemical reactions.


Why argon gas used for spot welding?

Because argon is an inert gas, don't react with metals.
