Metal Fabrication Industry

What we are providing

Specialty gases play several critical roles in the metal fabrication industry, enhancing both the efficiency and quality of various processes. Here's how they are commonly used:

Welding and Cutting Gases: Argon, helium, and carbon dioxide are often used in welding and cutting processes. These inert or semi-inert gases shield the weld area from atmospheric gases such as nitrogen and oxygen, which can cause imperfections in the weld. For example, argon is widely used in TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) welding for its ability to provide an inert atmosphere and facilitate a clean, strong weld.

Gas Mixtures for Improved Performance: Specialty gas mixtures, like argon with carbon dioxide or oxygen, are used to improve the welding process. These mixtures can enhance the stability of the welding arc and improve the quality of the weld.

Laser Cutting Gases: In laser cutting, gases like nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide are used to assist in the cutting process. These gases help to eject molten material from the cut, protect the lens from debris, and in the case of oxygen, can also aid in the burning process for faster cutting.

Surface Treatment: Gases such as oxygen or nitrogen are used in processes like metal hardening and annealing. They control the atmosphere within furnaces to either add or remove heat treatment to the metals.

Purging and Inerting: Inert gases like nitrogen and argon are used to purge air from systems and create an inert environment. This is crucial in preventing unwanted chemical reactions during metal processing.

Controlled Atmospheres in Furnaces: Special atmospheres are created using gases like hydrogen, nitrogen, and others to achieve specific metallurgical properties in metals during heat treatment processes.

Sand and Investment Casting: In these processes, specialty gases are used to ensure the quality of the molds and castings. They help in preventing oxidation and other surface imperfections.

Plasma Cutting: For high precision cutting of metals, plasma cutting uses a combination of gases like argon, hydrogen, and nitrogen. These gases are ionized to create plasma, which then cuts through metal.

In summary, specialty gases are crucial in the metal fabrication industry for ensuring the quality of welding and cutting, controlling atmospheres for various treatments, and improving overall efficiency and quality of metal products.
