ARGON MIXES

ARGON MIXESArgon is commonly used as an inert shielding gas in welding processes, such as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). It is used to protect the weld area from atmospheric gases, like Oxygen, Nitrogen, and water vapor, which can negatively affect the weld quality or make the welding process more challenging.

Argon is commonly used as an inert shielding gas in welding processes, such as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) and Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW).

It is used to protect the weld area from atmospheric gases, like Oxygen, Nitrogen, and water vapor, which can negatively affect the weld quality or make the welding process more challenging.

Argon is also utilized for creating inert atmospheres in various applications such as filler gas in incandescent and neon lamps, where its inertness helps prolong the lifespan of the filament.

Additionally, in plasma cutting, Argon is often mixed with Hydrogen to create a stable arc for precise cutting. Argon finds applications in gas chromatography, where it acts as the carrier gas to transport samples through the chromatographic column and spectrometry techniques to create the necessary environment for accurate analysis.

One Gas SS02 is a gas mixture composed of 2% Oxygen and 98% Argon. This mixture has a medium active gas content, making it suitable for MIG welding of stainless and duplex steels. It can also be used for GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding) of most high alloy and austenitic stainless steel, covering a range of material thickness. The recommended welding thickness range for the OneGas SS02 is 1-3mm.

OneGas SS98 is a mixture of 2% Carbon Dioxide and 98% Argon. This low oxidizing mix is suitable for MIG welding in the short circuit, pulsed modes, or spray on all stainless and duplex materials within a welding thickness range of 3-10mm. To select the appropriate filler metal, it is advised to identify the specific type of stainless steel being welded. Many commonly used alloys in stainless steel welding are specifically designed to enhance the fluidity of the weld puddle. The most frequently encountered stainless steel base metals include 304 and 316, while 309 and 316 are among the most commonly utilized welding wires for stainless steel.

OneGas 5/2 is a gas mixture composed of 5% Carbon Dioxide, 2% Oxygen in Argon. It is specifically designed for the welding of mild, carbon, and low alloy steel. This gas mixture promotes the spray transfer of welding materials, which enhances productivity during the welding process. This Argon/CO2/Oxygen mixture combines the beneficial features of pure Argon with the small percentage of CO2, which improves penetration and arc stability. As a result, the welds produced using this mixture are cleaner. It is suitable for a welding thickness range of 1-10mm.

OneGas 16/3 is a shielding gas mixture composed of 16% Carbon Dioxide, 3% Oxygen in Argon. It is specifically designed as a general-purpose gas mixture for MIG welding applications. This mixture is suitable for both short arc and spray transfer modes and is compatible with solid wires used on mild steels. The presence of CO2 allows for increased weld penetration, while the Oxygen enhances arc stability, resulting in cleaner and more precise welds. It is recommended for welding thicknesses ranging from 2-22mm.

OneGas 80/20 is a gas mixture composed of 20% Carbon Dioxide and 80% Argon. It is specifically designed for welding mild, carbon, and alloy steels. This gas mixture is also commonly used as a shielding gas with flux cored wires. The higher percentage of Carbon Dioxide in this mixture provides increased weld penetration, making it ideal for thicker cuts of steel. The recommended welding thickness range for this gas mixture is 4-28mm.

OneGas 90/10 is a gas mixture consisting of 10% Carbon Dioxide and 90% Argon. It is specifically formulated for MIG welding of mild, carbon, and low alloy steels. This gas mixture is designed to minimize spatter and achieve high travel welding speeds. The higher proportion of Argon and CO2 in this mixture provides enhanced weld penetration, particularly on thicker cuts of steel. It is recommended for a welding thickness range of 1-16mm.
