This three component shielding gas is designed predominantly for welding thinner materials. The addition of oxygen increases arc stability minimising the amount of spatter. This makes the product ideal for welding components that are painted or powder coated after welding. The faster welding speeds achievable with this gas coupled with a low heat input also help to reduce welding distortion.

Our Argon 5 is a proven mixture offering the highest quality, meeting or exceeding ISO 14175:2008 standards.

Advantages

Easy to use, providing a sound weld at minimum cost.

Has a low oxidation potential.

Can also be used for MIG welding standard-grade stainless steel in less critical applications.

High strength welds.

Minimal splatter producing good appearance and finish.

Minimises post-weld treatment and rework.

Low porosity and other defects.

Applications

Specially formulated for MIG welding sheet and thin sections of mild steel less than 5mm thick.

Can be used on mild steel sections thicker than 5mm but care must be taken to ensure the weld integrity is not compromised.

Ideal for duct and sheet-metal engineering industries.

A suitable gas in automotive component manufacturing and vehicle repair as it provides dip transfer in all positions with solid wire.
