For a range of welding applications, we can provide:
For many metal inert gas (MIG) welding applications, also known as gas metal arc welding (GMAW), a 75% argon and 25% carbon dioxide blend can support welding in all positions. We source different ratios of argon and carbon dioxide for different applications.
Enhance welding speed in applications that need higher heat with an argon and helium blend. The fit depends on material and process, and our team can help you choose the right formula.
Improve penetration and travel speed. Argon and hydrogen blends can create a more energetic, hotter arc for surface-finish benefits in some applications.
Carbon- and stainless-steel welding can benefit from a blend of argon and oxygen, which can minimize spatter and stabilize the arc.
When you’re welding carbon steel or need a welding gas for MIG welding applications, this blend can help you achieve reliable arcs and strong welds.
This blend can be appropriate for select metal transfer types and welding positions and can be used with different stainless steel materials.
Improve corrosion resistance and reduce carbon pickup during short-arc welding, especially for stainless steel and multiple-pass welds. We source different blends with these three gases.
This shielding gas can enhance bead wetting and arc stability in stainless steel MIG welding applications.
As part of the Meritus Gas network, we can source Star blends formulated for specific welding processes, base materials and performance goals.
Safety is your top priority, and it’s ours, too. Some shielding gases used for welding are described as hazardous by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), so correct handling is essential. Our team helps customers understand safe cylinder handling through practical guidance and demonstrations.
We follow cylinder safety requirements set by local codes and the guidelines established by the Compressed Gas Association (CGA). In-house retesting services support cylinder safety and readiness. We quality-test our gases and follow applicable industry standards.
As Oklahoma’s largest requalification facility, we can inspect, test and recertify the structural integrity of your high-pressure compressed gas cylinders. Our testing includes:
We work to offer a fast turnaround, and we provide delivery and pickup options when you need to requalify cylinders but want to minimize downtime, too.
