Why have argon nitrogen and helium been chosen to be used as shielding gases in welding?
I was wondering why argon, nitrogen, and helium are used as shielding gases in welding?
Those gases are typically used because they are inert, meaning they don't react with other elements at welding temperatures. This makes them effective at protecting the weld from atmospheric contamination that might otherwise weaken or degrade it over time.
