Gas Description
Argon is the gas with the highest concentration in air among rare gases. It has the highest content in nature, so argon is the earliest discovered rare gas. It is a colorless and odorless gas with a melting point of -189.2 ℃ and a boiling point of -185.7 ℃, slightly soluble in water. Main use: Used for bulb inflation and arc welding of stainless steel, magnesium, aluminum, etc., also known as "argon arc welding".

Product application
Argon is a rare gas widely used in industry at present. Its nature is very inactive, neither able to burn nor aid in combustion. In the sectors of aircraft manufacturing, shipbuilding, atomic energy industry, and mechanical industry, argon is often used as a welding protective gas for special metals such as aluminum, magnesium, copper and their alloys, and stainless steel during welding, to prevent the welded parts from being oxidized or nitrided by air.
In metal smelting, oxygen and argon blowing are important measures for producing high-quality steel, with an argon gas consumption of 1-3 m3 per 1 ton of steel. In addition, argon is also needed as a protective gas for the smelting of special metals such as titanium, zirconium, and germanium, as well as in the electronic industry.
