PROTECTIVE GAS MIXTURES FOR ARC WELDING

In metal processing, the welding process and welding work have a significant influence on production efficiency.
Any improvement in quality and productivity has a direct positive impact on overall production costs.

It sounds simple, but it isn't, because the materials to be processed place very different demands on the welding process and the shielding gas. Messer has intensively researched these specific requirements in order to optimize the results of a welding process.

This is how our wide and differentiated range of gas mixtures was born. What they all have in common is that they help you make your&nbsp

PROTECTIVE GAS MIXTURES FOR ARC WELDING

We offer the following product lines, depending on the basic materials to be processed:

Ferroline - for non-alloy and low-alloy steels

Inoxline - for high-alloy steels and Ni-based alloys

Aluline - for aluminum and non-ferrous metals&nbsp

IN LINE WITH LESS WELDING FUMES FOR GREATER SAFETY AT WORK

Until recently, the risk potential of welding fumes was assessed based on the quantity and size of particles according to the specific alloying elements (main components), depending on the welding process and the welding material.

In 2018, the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) reassessed the risk of lung cancer caused by welding fumes and found a link.

A welding fume extraction system and personal protective equipment are often used to protect welders. In order to comply with the new air purity requirements (e.g. TRGS 528), welding fumes must also be reduced.

This depends mainly on the choice of filler material and the configuration of the welding process. But shielding gas can also reduce welding fumes: Messer has been offering Ferroline C8 (ISO 14175 - M20- ArC-8) shielding gas for non-alloy steels for a long time. The shielding gas Ferroline C6 X1 (ISO 14175 - M24-ArCO-6/1) is even more effective.
