Learn more about the different gases commonly used in the automotive industry.
Used in oxy-fuel cutting and welding operations to achieve high temperatures necessary for cutting, welding, and brazing metals. Oxygen is also used in combustion processes in engine testing.
Commonly paired with oxygen in oxy-acetylene torches for cutting, welding, and brazing metals due to its high flame temperature.
Employed as a shielding gas in TIG (Tungsten Inert Gas) and MIG (Metal Inert Gas) welding to protect the weld area from atmospheric contamination, ensuring high-quality welds.
Used as a shielding gas in MIG welding, either alone or mixed with argon, to prevent oxidation and contamination of the weld pool. CO2 is also used in fire suppression systems.
Utilized for tire inflation, providing consistent pressure and reducing tire degradation. Nitrogen is also used in purging and blanketing applications to prevent oxidation and contamination during manufacturing.
Used as a shielding gas in welding applications, particularly for non-ferrous metals and when deep penetration welds are required. Helium is also employed in leak detection systems for automotive components.
Utilized as a fuel for heating, cutting, soldering, and brazing operations. It is also used in portable heaters to provide warmth in industrial settings.
Used in high-intensity discharge (HID) headlamps and other specialized lighting applications in vehicles.
Used in some testing and diagnostic equipment for its insulating properties, particularly in electrical systems.
Used in fuel cell vehicle development and testing, as well as in high-temperature brazing and annealing processes to create a reducing atmosphere that prevents oxidation.
