Argon Gas Welding: Creating Strong and Durable Welds

Argon Gas Welding: Creating Strong and Durable Welds

Introduction Have you ever wondered how metals are fused together to create strong and durable welds? Argon gas welding is a process that uses an electric arc to melt metals and join them. You've probably seen some amazing metal sculptures or architectural details and wondered how all those pieces were put together - argon gas welding is a technique that makes it possible. Using an inert gas like argon to shield the weld from contaminants, an electric arc is created between an electrode and the …
