Coregas MIG WELDING GAS 5/2 Trade N Go Gas™ MIG shielding gas
MIG shielding gas is a premium gas used mainly for the MIG welding of carbon steel. It is great for clean, quality and economical welds.
Ar / CO2 / O2
MIG shielding gas is specially formulated to give excellent arc stablity with very strong welds. The carbon dioxide (CO2) in the mixture improves the shape of the weld bead and the oxygen (O2) reduces the surface tension, allowing the weld bead to spread out. A wide bead reduces stress at the toe of the weld where cracks can occur.
Uses
- MIG welding of mild steel, stainless steel, low alloy steel and galvanised steel
- MIG welding of metal plate, tubing, sheet metal, furniture and automotive
- Minimal spatter, good weld appearance and good control make it ideal for positional welding
- Commonly used to weld thicknesses up to 8mm, but note this also depends on the capacity of the welding equipment in use
Gas composition
- Argon
- Carbon dioxide
- Oxygen
We produce and supply argon in both compressed gas and cryogenic liquid forms (LAR). Available in industrial or laboratory grade, our argon gas is manufactured to high standards, with guaranteed purity levels as specified in the certificates of conformance for each product. Our industrial grade gas, Argon 4.7, is used for MIG and TIG welding applications as well as for purging, plasma cutting and other industrial applications where an inert shielding gas is required. Argon 5.0 is used for purging, welding and plasma cutting where a higher degree of purity is desirable. It is also used as a carrier gas in gas chromatography.

In common with other compressed gases, the cylinders in which it is stored may explode if exposed to very high temperatures that cause the gas pressure to rise beyond the level of which the cylinders are designed to handle. Accordingly, argon gas cylinder tanks should be stored upright, in a well-ventilated storage area that is dry and cool.
How long a single cylinder tank lasts will depend on the flow rate. For a flow rate of between 0.5 and 0.7 M³ per hour, you can expect a 10.6m³ cylinder tank to last from 15-21 hours. For other flow rates, simply divide the cylinder tank capacity by the relevant flow rate.
Is argon gas heavier than air?
Yes, argon is denser than air. Argon gas will displace the oxygen present in the air close to the ground. For this reason, it is sometimes used to put out fires in areas where equipment that could be damaged by water or foam extinguishers is present.
As an inert gas, argon will not go bad when stored correctly. It should be safe to use in a TIG welding process, gas purge process or other industrial application even after spending a long time in storage.
Although argon itself is not flammable, argon gas cylinder tanks may explode in a fire due to the heat increasing the pressure beyond normal working capacity. As with all products that are stored at high pressure, precautions must be taken to ensure safety; inert gases pose the risk of asphyxiation in enclosed spaces and can cause cold burns to skin when exposed to argon compressed gas or liquid.
