Bulk Argon Applications
Manufacturing: Metal & Electronics
Argon’s use in manufacturing metals and alloys add efficiency and reduce cost by removing impurities, optimizing time at temperature, removing impurities --ultimately yielding desirable metal properties. Argon’s strength is its value as an inert gas, even at high temperatures, making it the choice for keeping hot electronics impurity-free.
TIG and MIG Welding
Argon’s predominant industrial use is as a welding gas. Greco Gas’ gas blending facility in Tarentum will customize a blend, typically 75% Argon and 25% Carbon Dioxide (C25 gas) for MIG work and superior weld results! Other mixtures we carry at Greco Gas are C-10, C8, and Stainless C2. Need these in bulk? We’d be glad to discuss options!
Food & Beverage Industry
You’ll need Argon for volume production of wine, displacing air in the barrel fermenting process – helping achieve that distinct flavor and quality result.
Lighting
Argon is used in neon tubes, light bulbs, fluorescent lighting and more. This is a cost-efficient choice, as Argon is economical versus other industrial gases, but its use in electrical lighting uses lower voltage. Its protective qualities extend the life of the lighting product – additional cost savers.
Health Care
Argon becomes extremely cold in a controlled expansion system. Surgeons use this super-chilled and precisely directed Argon for cryosurgery – to remove damaged cells, destroy diseased tissue, and even treat cancer, remove tumor cells and repair heart irregularities.
