Industry Argon Gas
Argon is an inert shield gas to enhance arc stability and gas metal arc welding characteristics.
It is also the primary industrial gas for the Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW) process for industry.
DSW offers various sizes of argon gas in high-pressure gas cylinders and liquid argon in dewars.

Argon Supply Modes
Gas Cylinders: This is the most common method of storing argon under a high-pressure argon cylinder for smaller to medium-sized volumes.
Argon Dewar: Liquefied argon may be stored and transported in insulated containers. This method is also ideal for small-to-medium volumes.
Argon MicroBulk: This is a cost-effective solution for larger volumes that have outgrown the use of cylinders. It involves the delivery of liquid argon in specially designed vessels.
Bulk Deliveries: Argon gas can be supplied for huge volumes using tube trailers or other large-scale ISO containers.
On-site Generation: For huge volumes, an on-site argon generation system can be installed. This is often used in remote locations or for very high consumption rates.
Argon is an excellent tool for metal fabrication and welding.
The metal fabrication industry uses argon gas to shield metals against welding oxidation.
This is due to its non-toxic properties, nonflammability, nonreactivity under extreme temperatures, etc.
Ar is used to enhance the quality of metal fabrications and welding.
Argon is a shielding gas in various welding processes, including gas metal arc and tungsten welding.
The inert argon protects against atmospheric gases, like nitrogen and oxygen, that may cause defects in the welding.
Furthermore, its shielding properties improve arc stability by protecting against contamination or oxidation. It makes welds stronger structurally.
Inertness is also crucial for preventing contamination and oxidation. This leads to better welds and mechanical properties.
The consistent, reliable performance of Ar argon as a shielding agent increases welding productivity.
When welding or heat-treating metals like stainless steel or titanium, argon gas can create an oxygen-free environment;
argon gas prevents oxides from forming, which can compromise the material’s properties.
Metal fabrication is an essential subsector for manufacturing industries. It is also interconnected with other sectors, including food, beverages and pharmaceuticals.
