Welding shielding gases - briefly
Technical Gases in Welding: CO₂, Argon, and Argon-CO₂ Mixtures
The choice of shielding gas in welding has a significant impact on the final result – weld quality, process efficiency, and overall cost. Different gases are used depending on the welding method, materials, and desired outcome. Let’s take a closer look at the most common gases – carbon dioxide (CO₂), argon, and argon-CO₂ mixtures, their characteristics, and their applications.
1. Carbon Dioxide (CO₂)
CO₂ is an economical and widely available gas commonly used in steel welding.
- Properties:
CO₂ is an active gas that reacts with the base material during welding. It provides deep penetration and creates a robust weld joint. - Applications:
- Used in MIG/MAG welding.
- Ideal for welding thick steel and construction materials.
- Frequently applied in industrial projects where durability is prioritized over appearance.
- Advantages:
- Affordable and effective for thicker materials.
- Suitable for heavy-duty and large-scale projects.
- Disadvantages:
- Produces more spatter compared to other gases.
- Weld surfaces may lack a smooth, aesthetic finish.
2. Argon (Ar)
Argon is an inert gas that ensures high-quality and precise welds.
- Properties:
Being chemically inactive, argon creates a protective layer around the welding area, preventing oxidation and ensuring a stable arc. - Applications:
- Used in TIG MIG welding, especially for non-ferrous metals (aluminum, copper) and stainless steel.
- Suitable for thin materials and projects requiring aesthetic welds.
- Advantages:
- Clean and smooth welds.
- Minimal spatter formation.
- Ideal for precise and delicate tasks.
- Disadvantages:
- Higher cost compared to CO₂.
- Less effective for welding thicker materials.
3. Argon-CO₂ Mixtures
These mixtures offer a versatile solution, combining the benefits of argon and CO₂.
- Properties:
Typical mixtures contain 75–95% argon and 5–25% CO₂. This semi-active gas mixture provides a stable arc, good penetration, and reduced spatter. - Applications:
- Commonly used in MIG/MAG welding for both thin and medium-thickness steel.
- Ideal for versatile applications where both quality and practicality are important.
- Advantages:
- Produces less spatter compared to pure CO₂.
- More stable welding process.
- Cleaner welds, suitable for a wide range of projects.
- Disadvantages:
- More expensive than CO₂.
What Do Professionals Choose?
- CO₂: Professionals use this for cost-effective solutions in heavy-duty construction and thicker steel materials.
- Argon: A top choice for TIG welders working with aluminum, stainless steel, or other non-ferrous metals. It’s essential for achieving high-quality, aesthetic welds.
- Argon-CO₂ Mixtures: A versatile option favored by both beginners and professionals for MIG/MAG welding and projects involving various steel thicknesses.
Conclusion
The choice of gas depends on your needs and project requirements:
- Opt for CO₂ for cost savings and deep penetration in heavy materials.
- Choose Argon for precision and superior weld quality.
- Go with Argon-CO₂ mixtures for a balanced and practical solution.
Selecting the right gas not only ensures a technically sound weld but also enhances its visual appeal.

Organization of the work of the welding shop!
Any welding shop is a difficult object. To organize it, you will have to coordinate with the fire brigade and the sanitary and epidemiological station, because first of all there will be energy in its pure open form, and this is electricity or fire from a gas burner.
Happy Easter - Sunny holidays!
SIA Industar wishes you happy holidays, may the spring sun shine brightly!

How to choose a welding machine?
Welding equipment is very often needed for work in a private yard, country house or garage. Most modern devices are designed according to the inverter scheme. Thanks to this, the device has gained compactness and lightness. The inverter unit does not take up much space in the trunk of the car and is also easy to carry in the hands. Despite the small weight and dimensions, the inverter allows you to perform quite serious welding work at a professional level. The choice of a welding inverter is made taking into account the functions that it will have to perform and, of course, with an acceptable purchase budget.
KEMPPI welding work safety offer!
Why are the prices different for welding respirators? The main reason is the performance of the system, and it affects several areas - safety and compliance with standards, specifications, as well as usability and comfort. For example, the primary value of wearing a respirator is lung protection. Lower priced PAPR units tend to have a higher internal leakage rate, meaning a higher level of unfiltered air enters the breathing zone.
