BOC Pureshield Argon Industrial Grade, Compressed Gas Cylinders
With a purity level of 99.998% BOC Pureshield Argon is an ideal gas for TIG welding, MIG welding and MAG welding of stainless steel, ferritic or martensitic stainless steel, or aluminium .
The low ionising potential of this high purity, inert gas allows for the easy forming of a welding arc without reacting with the metal components being welded.
Pureshield Argon is predominantly used as a shielding gas as it forms a good shield due to its high density and total inertness.
When working with thicker materials other gases can be combined with Pureshield Argon to produce a more fluid welding pool.
99.998% purity rating. Colourless, tasteless and odourless
Inert to all materials at all temperatures and pressures
Heavier than air, argon will collect in low-lying areas, ducts and drains
An asphyxiant (does not support life)
Lower thermal conductivity than most other gases
Easy forming of welding arc without reacting to metal components
Creates fluid welding pool when combined with other gases
