Argon |
The primary function of the shielding gas in gas shielded arc welding has been to protect molten and heated metal from the damaging effects of the surrounding air and to provide suitable conditions for the arc. If air comes in contact with the molten or heated metal, the oxygen in the air will oxidize the metal, the nitrogen might cause porosity or brittleness in the weld metal, and moisture from the air might also cause porosity. Argon (Ar) is an inert gas. This means that it does not oxidize and that it has no effect on the chemical composition of the weld metal. Argon is the main component in most shielding gases for GMA and GTA welding.
