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.
It is a gas.
As an inert gas, it shields the weld from oxygen and corrosion during the melting process. Tig welding means "through inert gas".
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.
A.K.A. Gas Metal Arc Welding -- Semi-automatic or automatic arc welding process in which a continuous and consumable wire electrode and a shielding gas are fed through a welding gun.
Electric light bulbs, fluorescent tubes, and radio vacuum tubes and as an inert gas shield in arc welding.
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
Because argon is an inert gas, don't react with metals.
TIG welding uses Argon.
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.
It is a gas.
argon gas
When MIG welding STEEL a mixture of Argon -- CO2 is used. 75% - 25%
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.
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.
Argon is the most common gas used in gas metal arc welding.
As an inert gas, it shields the weld from oxygen and corrosion during the melting process. Tig welding means "through inert gas".
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.
