Argon is used in welding to prevent oxygen from entering the weld site. Oxygen is basicly bad for the weld and Argon displaces the oxygen which results in a better weld (less heat stress, less air pockets (imperfections in the weld) etc.)

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.
Why argon is used in welding the recycling companys workbenches?
Argon is used as a shielding gas. By flooding the are of the weld with Argon, Oxygen is kept away from the molten metal of the weld.
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.
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.
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.
Which gas is use in gas welding?
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
Why argon gas used for spot welding?
Because argon is an inert gas, don't react with metals.
Which process uses an insert gas used for welding?
TIG welding uses Argon.

What type of gas is used when mig welding steal?
When MIG welding STEEL a mixture of Argon -- CO2 is used. 75% - 25%

What is the most commonly shielding gas for GMAW?
Argon is the most common gas used in gas metal arc welding.
How is argon used in welding?
As an inert gas, it shields the weld from oxygen and corrosion during the melting process. Tig welding means "through inert gas".
