Abstract Scope |
Shielding gases are an important consideration in any welding application, and new advances have productivity, quality and safety advantages. Choosing the right shielding gas ultimately makes or breaks your welds, directly impacting your final product and your reputation. With so many options, it can be difficult to pick the right gases for your operation.
I’ll discuss various approaches we are using at Airgas or see our customers use successfully that can make selecting the appropriate shielding gas mixture easier for welders. Industrial gas suppliers work hard behind the scenes to formulate blends that serve a wide variety of common welding needs; the process behind these formulations requires research, experimentation and field testing. |
