Description
With a purity level of 99.998% BOC Pureshield Argon gas cylinder is an ideal gas for Tig welding, Mig welding and Mag welding of stainless steel, Ferritic or martensitic stainless steel, or Aluminium .
The low ionising potential of this high purity, inert gas allows for the easy forming of a welding arc without reacting with the metal components being welded.
Pureshield Argon is predominantly used as a shielding gas as it forms a good shield due to its high density and total inertness.
When working with thicker materials other gases can be combined with Pureshield Argon to produce a more fluid welding pool.
- 99.998% purity rating. Colourless, tasteless and odourless
- Inert to all materials at all temperatures and pressures
- Heavier than air, argon will collect in low-lying areas, ducts and drains
- An asphyxiant (does not support life)
- Lower thermal conductivity than most other gases
- Easy forming of welding arc without reacting to metal components
- Creates fluid welding pool when combined with other gases.
