A multipurpose gas in the metal fabrication sector
This gas has the characteristic of being inert under normal conditions, but if subject to high temperatures or to an electric arc it can become active and 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, aluminium.
