Your Expert Source for Welding Gases in Southern CA

We began in the welding industry, meaning we know it well and understand your shielding and fuel gas needs. We’ll supply gases in the required mixtures to produce strong, clean and compliant welds. 

Welding Gases at Cameron Welding Supply

The welding industry relies on argon as a shielding gas for metal inert gas (MIG) and tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding. This gas can also help operations process titanium and other reactive elements. Pure argon and various blends are ideal for MIG and TIG welding. 

This gas is often used as a shielding gas during metal fabrication. We provide mixtures like:

  • Argon and carbon dioxide

  • Argon, oxygen and carbon dioxide

  • Argon, nitrogen and carbon dioxide

The blend you choose may depend on the material, the metal transfer mode and the mechanical properties you want to achieve from your weld. 

Acetylene is known for having a high-temperature flame. It’s commonly used in gas welding, soldering, brazing, and oxyacetylene cutting.

Oxygen can also support tasks involving cutting or joining metal. It is typically blended with argon and carbon dioxide to enhance the properties of those gases. 

In place of acetylene, some operations may burn propylene to achieve the high temperatures necessary to heat or cut metal. Oxypropane is often used to preheat before oxyacetylene use. 

High-Purity and Spec Gases in Southern CA

In addition to welding and industrial gases, we offer a range of specialty gases. These gases meet the highest purity specifications for use in sensitive and critical industries, like aerospace, medical, scientific research and electronics manufacturing. 

Helium has applications across diverse sectors, including medicine, science, entertainment, and recreation. Its primary uses include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, decorative and weather balloons, fiber optics manufacturing, semiconductor production and lasers.

Nitrogen gas is utilized in diverse applications, such as displacing air to prevent oxidation, inflating tires and balloons, extinguishing fires, producing stainless steel and as a propellant in paintball guns.

Hydrogen is used in the aerospace industry for metal annealing. It’s also used as a clean-burning fuel source in the semiconductor industry. Hydrogen may also power heavy machinery or even heat and power systems in residential buildings.

Many industries use oxygen, particularly in medicine, for people to breathe in a pure form. This gas is also used for water treatment. Argon is used in many processes and fields, including industrial, scientific and food. Other uses of argon include preservation, as a propellant, for gas chromatography, inductively coupled plasma (ICP) spectroscopy and incandescent lighting.

Reliable Food and Beverage Gases in Southern CA

We also offer gases for the food and beverage industry. We focus on quality, safety and reliability to meet applications related to consumption. Here are some of the food-grade gases we can provide:

Carbon dioxide

You can use this gas for beverage carbonation, flash freezing or food preservation purposes. We may also be able to supply this gas in solid form for those requiring dry ice in Southern California.

Nitrogen

Create a distinct texture and mouthfeel in beer or use nitrogen as a nutrient for yeast during wine fermentation. We can also supply this gas in liquid dewars for use in flash freezing ice cream.
