ARGOSHIELD LIGHT

Argoshield Light

Argoshield Light is specifically formulated for MIG welding sheet and thin sections of mild steel less than 4mm thick. The low levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the weld reduce the risk of burning through and leaving holes in the weld area. The addition of oxygen improves the flow of the molten weld metal producing flatter welds with lower levels of reinforcement. This can greatly reduce the need to machine or grind down the reinforcement, which is a known stress raiser, reducing production costs.

Argoshield Light has excellent arc stability minimising the amount of spatter produced. Reduced spatter means less welding wire being wasted, as well as shorter clean up time. This makes the product ideal for welding components that are painted or powder coated after welding. The faster welding speeds achievable with this gas coupled with a low heat input also help to reduce welding distortion.

Benefits

• Combines 2% Oxygen, 5% Carbon Dioxide, balance Argon
• Formulated for MIG welding sheet and thin sections of mild steel less than 4mm thick
• Ideal for duct and sheet-metal engineering industries
• A suitable gas in automotive component manufacturing and vehicle repair as it provides dip transfer in all positions with solid wire
