Gas Selection for Thin Gauge Welding
Gas selection for thin gauge materials requires balancing penetration needs with heat input control - lower CO2 content reduces burn-through risk. Use 10-15% CO2 mixtures or pure argon for materials under 3mm thickness.
Low Heat Input
CORGON® 10
Perfect for thin materials: CORGON 10 with only 10% CO2 provides controlled heat input while maintaining good arc characteristics, ideal for materials 1-3mm thick.
