Nitrogen (N2) for Metal Fabrication

The inert gas that can become active.

A multipurpose gas in the metal fabrication sector

Nitrogen (N2) has the characteristic of being inert under normal conditions, but if subject to high temperatures or to an electric arc, it can become active. As such, it has the ability to influence the final result of the process. It is widely used in plasma and laser cutting processes for noble materials such as austenitic or high alloy steels and aluminum.

Pure nitrogen is used for root protection. It can also be mixed with Hydrogen or Argon for the welding of Duplex and Superduplex steels.
