Argoshield

Because we do it right

Argoshield is a shielding industrial gas, typically composed of 80% Argon and 20% Carbon Dioxide, and is predominantly used in MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding. It offers a high-speed, efficient solution for welding carbon and low-alloy steels, making it ideal for production-focused fabrication environments.

Argoshield produces low heat input and narrow weld beads, resulting in improved penetration and strong, flat weld fusions. These benefits significantly reduce weld defects and rework, leading to lower rejection rates and reduced overall production costs for Gas Africa’s customers.

Typical applications for Argoshield include:

- General fabrication

- Light to medium plate fabrication

- Pipe and tube joining

- Welding of pressure vessels and boilers

In addition to the standard 80:20 blend, Gas Africa also supplies Argoshield in alternative mixtures, including 90:10 Argon to Carbon Dioxide, to suit specific welding requirements.
