USES OF ARGON GAS
- Application of argon gas in heat treatment: Argon gas is an ideal protection environment for metals that easily react with nitrogen gas, or need protection from nitrogen gas.
- It is used for refining metals
-
The argon gas is used pumping drysuit in scuba diving.
-
Argon gas is an inert gas and a poorer conductor of heat than conventional air, so that it is suitable material to produce high quality heat conductor when placed between small glass panels.
-
Argon gas is indispensable for laboratories in universities, the centers of laboratory analysis, research institutes or petrochemical technology, …
-
In inerting and cleaning: Argon gas is used for tanks and pipes designed in factories specializing in pharmaceuticals and chemicals.
- In producing semiconductors, it is used as a protective coating that allows the cultivation of crystals of silicon and germanium.
- In addition, a novel application of Argon gas is to pump car tires.
- In welding: Argon gas is used to protect molten metals from environmental contamination in either pure or mixed form.
- In Cutting: We need to mention an outstanding application of Argon gas which is plasma cutting of black and non-black boxes. In this application, high purity Argon is used at extremely high temperature.
