Argon or elium or a mi!ture of these gases*
'elium gas has higher ioni,ation "otential than argon and gi(esdee"er "enetration; whilst argon is denser than air and gi(es good
co(erage of the weld area in the down hand "osition. We would
need 29< times the flow rate of helium to get the same co(erage
as helium is less dense than air. #n the o(erhead "osition the
re(erse is true. We often mi! these gases to get both benefits*
We sometimes use additions of nitrogen when welding some
stainless steels; or co""er *

Aused flu!es are baed at a high tem"erature after mi!ing
and all com"onents are fused together lie glass. The slab
is then smashed into (ery small "articles and sifted into
grain si,es*
5gglomerated flu!es are not baed as high as the fused
flu!es and are held together as "articles by binding agents.
These flu!es are also sifted into grain si,es*

0use flu1es: cannot contain certain alloying elements
such as Aerro 7anganese; and tend to be used for lower
