Hobbyweld 5

(93% Argon, 5% Carbon Dioxide, 2% Oxygen)

As the most popular MIG welding gas mix, there are an abundance of benefits Hobbyweld 5 can provide.

This gas is simple to use and produces a stable arc which results in less spatter and clean up time for the end user.

Hobbyweld 5 provides good penetration and fusion, making this gas is an optimum choice for MIG welding.

Argon
Argon is generally used when TIG welding stainless steel, carbon steel and aluminium – it can also be used on a MIG welder for aluminium and alloys in conjunction with the correct MIG wire.

Argon is typically suitable for most TIG welding applications providing a capability of welding at any depth.

The repair of alloy wheels, farming equipment, vehicle body panels, model work and metals used for aircraft are among many of Argon’s popular uses; however, it is also used in many applications that you wouldn’t expect, such as filling the gap between your double glazing and the space in a light bulb.

Oxygen

Oxygen is commonly and traditionally used with a fuel gas (acetylene, propane or propylene) for cutting, welding, brazing and soldering.

This supports the combustion of these gases and enables a much higher flame temperature to be achieved in comparison with air.

Our oxygen cylinders are filled from a bulk tank which ensures optimum purity, a 1% reduction in purity can increase consumption of oxygen by 20% or more, so you can see the benefits of a professionally filled gas bottle.

Acetylene

Acetylene is the hottest and most efficient fuel gas on the market, making it the preferred product for many applications.

It is also the only fuel gas hot enough to weld steel. When using our oxygen and acetylene together, flame temperatures can reach an amazing 3500°C (6330°F).

You will typically use between 2 to 3 times the amount of oxygen as you would acetylene so don’t let the smaller size of our cylinder put you off. Using a number 5 welding nozzle with this gas cylinder will typically provide over 5 hours of welding time.
