High purity argon (better than 99.999%) is used as a shield gas in the production of silicon ingots, to be fabricated into wafers, for solar cells and micro-electronic devices. Argon is used to control the...
Reproducible quality of powder-metal 3D printed parts is essential for advanced aerospace, automotive and medical applications. Yet aluminum and titanium alloys are extremely sensitive to oxygen and humidity.
Fortunately for those who rely on National Aerospace and Defense Contractors Accreditation Program (Nadcap) welding using argon, a 2018 shortage in that supply of gas appears to be over.
Liquid argon, and lots of it, will be pivotal in the ground-breaking Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), which gathers pace at two US locations in 2019.
In North America and Europe, it is calculated buildings consume a staggering 40% of the primary energy consumption. However, this figure can significantly be reduced if the buildings are purposefully designed, constructed and used with...
Argon’s growing demand is leading to concerns among US distributors of a tightening in demand.
Carburos Metálicos, a leading company in the industrial and medical gases sector in Spain, which is part of the Air Products Group, has brought together experts from the wine sector in an informative day dedicated...
