During the welding, process metals are exposed to temperatures of upwards of 7000 Degrees. At these temperatures, most metals become liquid, which allows the formation of the weld. Argon is used to protect the molten pool of metal against elements in the Atmosphere including Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Hydrogen. These elements cause reactions with the liquid weld pool, such as porosity and increased weld spatter. Argon also plays an important role in maintaining Arc stability, which leads to increased weld penetration, better filler wire transfer, and better weld appearance.Sunstones Premium argon is 99.50% pure Argon. Pure Argon refers to the gas being just Argon, and not mixed with another gas.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"fr-video fr-fvc fr-dvi fr-draggable\"\u003e\u003ciframe class=\"fr-draggable\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HhcVS2DhiSU\" height=\"315\" width=\"560\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is The Recommended Argon Pressure?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSunstones Orion Welding systems work best at around 10 PSI. The pressure can be adjusted depending on the workpiece and how far the electrode protrudes from the welding stylus.
