Carbon Steel Shielding Gases (CORGON®)
Why CORGON®: Independent testing shows CORGON® reduces spatter by 30% on average compared to pure CO₂ while maintaining superior arc stability and weld appearance.
CORGON® 10
90% Argon + 10% CO₂
Best for: Thin sheet applications, minimal spatter, precise bead tracking.
CORGON® 18
82% Argon + 18% CO₂
Best for: Universal steel applications, balanced properties, highest productivity.
CORGON® S8
Specialized Ar/CO₂/O₂ blend
Best for: Precision short-circuit welding, thin materials under 3mm.
Stainless Steel Shielding Gases (CRONIGON®)
Why CRONIGON® for stainless: Specially formulated mixes prevent carbide precipitation and maintain corrosion resistance per ISO 14175 standards.
CRONIGON® 2
98% Argon + 2% CO₂
Best for: Austenitic stainless steels, critical corrosion resistance.
CRONIGON® He30
Ar/He/CO₂ blend with 30% Helium
Best for: Thick stainless, increased heat input, faster travel speeds.
CRONIGON® 316L
Optimized for 316L grade
Best for: Pharmaceutical, food-grade, and chemical processing stainless.
Aluminum & Light Alloy Gases
Why helium additions matter: Helium increases heat input for better penetration on thick aluminum sections with up to 35% higher welding speed.
VARIGON® He50
50% Argon + 50% Helium
Best for: Thick aluminum plate, maximum penetration and travel speed.
