It depends on what welding process is being used and what type of metal is being welded. When Oxy-Fuel Welding, Acetylene is the most popular. MAPP gas and Propane are also used. With the GMAW (MIG) process Argon, CO2 and Oxygen gasses, in mixtures or alone, are used. GTAW (TIG) gasses are almost always Argon and/or Helium. This is not all inclusive as new processes are being developed every day. Check with your welding material supplier for relevant info.

What is the gas used in welding?
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.
How hot is gas flame when welding?
A gas flame in welding can reach temperatures ranging from 3,000°F to 6,300°F (1,649°C to 3,482°C) depending on the type of welding process and gases used. These high temperatures are necessary to melt and fuse metal together during the welding process.
Can carbon monoxide be used in welding instead of Argon?
Carbon Dioxide iswidely used for MIG welding but I never heard of carbon monoxide and it is definitely not used in the industry as shielding gas. The purpose of the shielding gas is not just shielding the weld pool but offer arc stability with an adequate ionization potential. The heat and electrical conducctivity of the gas at the arc temperature are a huge factor as well.
What natural gasses used for welding?
Some common natural gases used for welding include acetylene, propane, and natural gas (methane). Each gas has specific applications and properties that make them suitable for different welding processes. It is important to use the appropriate gas for the specific welding task to ensure optimal results and safety.
What are the gas pressures and flow rates in relation to the type of material being welded?
Gas pressures and flow rates are typically determined based on the type of material being welded, the welding process, and the size of the weld joint. For example, when welding aluminum, higher gas flow rates and pressures may be required compared to welding steel due to its higher thermal conductivity. It is important to consult welding procedure specifications and guidelines provided by the welding equipment manufacturer to determine the appropriate gas settings for different materials.

What types of welding used for 8 mm thickness metals?
For welding 8 mm thickness metals, common methods include MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding, TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding, and stick welding (SMAW - Shielded Metal Arc Welding). The choice depends on the type of metal and specific requirements.
What type of filler material is used for mild steel?
ER70S-6 is a very common filler metal when welding with Gas Metal Arc Welding or Gas Tungsten Arc Welding on a low carbon steel (mild steel). This can be purchased as a spool or in rod form.
