Welding Basics: Techniques for Tig, Mig & Arc Welds : Gases Used for Welding

[dabois85]

All The Inert gases

The list includes

Helium (He), (Mig Welding)

Neon (Ne), (Well i wonder)

Argon (Ar), (Mig Welding)

Krypton (Kr), (Another Light source Mostly)

Xenon (Xe), Mostly Used in Bright Lights(car lights, Stadiums)

Radon (Rn).

MIG is -as he axplained- Metal INERT Gas. But CO2 isn not an inert gas. So he's talking about MAG (Metal ACTIVE Gas) welding.

Intert gases used for welding are agron and helium.

Active gases used are CO2, oxygen, hydrogen (and others). The later two only in small amounts mixed with inert gases.
