Shielding gases for welding – the importance of the right choice
In the highly competitive engineering industry, operational efficiency and productivity are key success factors. Welding is a part of the manufacturing process that plays a major role in the final result. A properly selected welding gas is an essential part of a high quality, productive and economical welding system.
Woikoski is a Finnish gas supplier with more than a century of experience in gas manufacturing and supply. We offer domestic, high-quality shielding gases for welding – quickly, reliably and always tailored to your needs.
Our shielding gases are used in MIG/MAG, TIG, plasma arc, laser welding and combinations of these, such as hybrid welding, and MIG brazing, among others.
The main function of the shielding gas is to protect the weld filler metal and the heated metal from the harmful effects of the surrounding air and to ensure stable and efficient arc conditions. Oxygen, nitrogen and moisture in the air can cause weld quality problems such as pores, cracks and reduced strength. The right shielding gas prevents these problems and improves the mechanical properties, appearance and machinability of the weld.
Woikoski shielding gases combine domestic quality, expert service and reliable delivery – just for your welding needs.
