WOW we use this to weld, a skill we are learning in our micro machining operation, so this is great video for us as generally we have to go and search details from these videos to learn even more expansive details through research for the elements, but this time we know this one we use this one we like and we enjoy Argon. Even this shared video we did not know about the uses in Argon beyond our welding training, so we are always learning here. Thank you for the share, Lance & Patrick.

Argon TIG welding has gotten relatively affordable by hobbyists. Thanks to IGBTs and cheap Chinese electronics you can get a welder for < $1000. Add in an argon tank and you're into aluminum welding for < $1500.

[@ejajahmed5796]

Yes

[@andrewdewar8159]

Argon plasma is used in some gastro intestinal electro-surgery, its like a bright steam of plasma that can cauterize. Sometimes called Argon diathermy.

[@elkvis]

"amateurs rarely buy such expensive gear." TIG welding equipment isn't particularly expensive these days. a complete setup, including a bottle of argon, can be acquired for under $1000USD

[@nathanm.8823]

Argon is such a hottie!

[@bawkbawkboo1]

3:47 This is rather incredible timing, but just three days ago there was a study published in Nature about the detection of helium hydride in the early universe.

[@firstnamenonapplicable5138]

How to slav your chemistry

[@ianjanson5119]

Also, with tig welding you can use a mixture of gases however, the only mixture accepted is with helium. Welders use helium because it carries more heat due to the fact that it has a higher ionization voltage thus carrying more heat. With the mix of argon and helium a welder gets the benefits of both gases. Also, titanium, stainlezs steel, and other more exotic metals respond well to copious amounts of argon.

[@telephony]

I used to have a GE AR-1 argon glow bulb. It had an E26 or E27 medium screw base, and was designed to be operated from 120VAC mains power with no need for an external ballast resistor. The two half moon-shaped electrodes generated a purple glow; however the primary application of this lamp was as a source of UVA radiation; the lamp has several significant spectral features between 300nm and 370nm.

[@almosthuman4457]

Helium carries a hotter plasma. Your title is incorrect.

[@nathansmith3608]

the National Ignition Laboratory has gotten hydrogen over 1000x hotter in fusion experiments too

[@danf2]

He has never seen my gas after a mean bowl of Chili.

[@imnewtothistuff]

Another correction, Tig welding is not expensive, the use of an argon/ carbon dioxide mix is very common in America.

[@BramBiesiekierski]

@@imnewtothistuff Compared to most other common types of welding, TIG is easily the most expensive. Especially an AC capable machine. Here in Australia for example, a complete entry level ACDC TIG rig is gonna cost you between AUD $2-3k once all said and done. (Machine, torch, gas, regulator, foot pedal, filler rods, tungston, gas lenses, torch consumables, trolley, table, gloves, weld mask, acetone, etc etc.) Basic stick machines can be had and setup, as a complete kit for maybe 20% of the cost of an AC TIG setup. A basic MIG setup with full kit, probably gonna cost you in the realm of 50% of an AC TIG setup. Not only that, TIG is going to cost you the most time in learning how to do it at a decent level. But I think even for a home gamer, TIG is definetely worth the extra money. Im a car guy and have used my TIG machine to build roll cages, exhausts, turbo manifolds, intercooler systems, fluid resivoirs. Repair all manner various things. I now have a pretty regular flow of odd jobs coming in from mates who need stuff TIG'd up.

[@MakeItWithCalvin]

@@BramBiesiekierski tig is the most versatile but the most costly. That said with the rise of multipurpose machines you can do stick/tig in the same machine which covers most bases. Stick for fast work TIG for precise.

[@viktorgames2737]

Hello everyone! Today we are... GOING TO WELD!!

[@gregorclegane3674]

I'm a welder and I tell ya that argon is called the silent killer (no pun intended lol) for a good reason, it's a heavy gas and when your in a confined space trying to weld pipe and have a leak well......no Bueno homie

[@heyman5525]

We have to add helium to our argon welding gas in order to generate more heat. It seems that helium is hotter gas in welding applications.

[@IanTester]

3:57 The Great Nyebula? Love your videos mate.

[@aroaro9151]

Thanks for your vídeos. How it would be wonderful a legend to translate the audio to help out those who does not have a good english and would like to understand all the marvellous content of these precious videos.

[@cristhian6027]

Hey I have two questions for a project and I really hope you answer them. I read that Argon can be used to cool heat seeking missiles, how does it do that? And does Argon have any compounds?

[@karlslicher8520]

Argon+CO2 is for slag heavy MAG welding and Argon+Helium gives TIG welding extra penetration for the limited Amps most of our domestic inverter units can run at a reasonable duty cycle.

Who knew Borat was so knowledgeable about chemistry???

[@lionra4523]

[@markproulx1472]

Thank you for the fascinating video!

[@chaosopher23]

I welded with that stuff, there was nothing better. My co-worker thought it was flammable - I told him it would only burn if you could put it in the core of a star... then proved it to him. Some of the more expensive pork is packed in argon because carbon dioxide can be consumed by bacteria. So, it's better to pay a little more for pork!

[@ianjanson5119]

Okay, I'm a welder here. Professional as well as certified. Anyway your last few lines about how argon and CO2 are added for tig welding is wrong. With tig you need an absolute inert atmosphere. However, CO2 is added when using the mig welding process. Infact a popular mix is called C25, because it is 25% CO2 and 75% Argon.

[@Hendreh1]

very nice . 😊 can you explain the making of fertilizer, herbicide for plants. and synthetic diesel fuel?

[@yahyae3416]

Argon is the element with the largest molar mass, neither positive nor negative. Other elements are helium and neon but their molar masses are smaller.

[@terminator761]

im like argon just lazy and single xD

[@RinksRides]

As a fabricator, yes argon is my best friend,, unless your trying to weld copper bar/plate, then you need helium to get more current into the work piece.

[@연이-n7v]

I used argon gas in plasma operation There is also use phone glass pre treatment Thank you your video!!

[@ag135i]

Is it also used in car headlamps/headlights? Or is it xenon?.

[@denizbluemusic]

both are used. however argon is usually mixed with nitrogen while xenon is used in its pure form

[@buddahganja4707]

Yes it is a welders best friend. I love learning about my craft

[@rahmanaridho]

Which one is brighter argon or xenon?

[@IanTester]

I'm going to guess xenon because it's used in flash tubes.

[@mattio79]

Argon/CO2 is only used for GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding)(Mig/wirefeed) Pure argon or Argon/Helium are used for GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding)

[@ironken1796]

I'm glad you said it. That guy welding needed to back purge that stainless as well and keep the filler in the gas envelope..you could see the rod sugaring when he pulled it waaaaay outta the puddle.

[@mattio79]

@@ironken1796 it only takes watching 20 or 30 hours of Tig/mig welding videos to notice a trend. also, i have a Tig/stick/plasma cutter machine at home, and in the owner's manual it strictly prohibits the use of CO2/Argon for tungsten welding.

[@DanfossDrivesAmerica]

It's the best shielding gas for welding especially when mixed with co2

[@andrewkvk1707]

What a.c. source did you use to excite the argon ampule?

[@nathansmith3608]

It sure looked like a hot wire of regular mains voltage, but maybe it was a Tesla coil

[@gristlevonraben]

What does graphene, in tiny amounts do in a vacuum tube when exposed to a charge like they do neon signs?

[@davidelliott3930]

Used in implantable devices to prevent oxidation effects. You should see the microscopic laser welder in the argon atmo.

[@williamarmstrong7199]

Errr no its not.tig welding is done in pure Argon only. Mix CO2 and your tungsten electrode would catch fire! If you want the hottest weld temperature use helium not argon. You will get up to 3x the heat into the weld using pure Helium. The only issue is the arc is not so bright using Helium and automatic welding helmets frequently do not shutter down so you can get very bad arc flashed eyes. So more people use a 50/50 mix of Argon and Helium.

[@TheXnocf]

So hot that it is used for insulation in an insulated glass elements.

Wouldn't helium be the hottest element on Earth since we bring that to millions of degrees inside Tokamak reactors?

[@pistonwristpin1]

Hmm, I wonder what “Jason and the Argonauts,” really means. And the Merovingians had a similar stigma, they were the “do nothing kings.” I guess you could call the Merovingians “argonauts” too. Seems “argonaut,” means “purveyors of passivity, or laziness.” Weird how chemistry and physics use Greek words, and medicine and biology uses latin terms. What gives?

[@orvillelam3550]

You should have talked about the argon fluoride lasers

[@gregg4164]

Yeah, this cant be correct. In welding we actually add Hydrogen or Helium to increase arc temperature over just straight Argon. so if this where in fact correct we would not need to do that.

[@NorkusMartynas]

1:17 argon has a smell. Have You ever TIG welded before?

You're probably smelling metallic oxide fumes off the consumable wire being fed into the weld bead. The gas itself has no odor.

Saying it's the hottest gas is a bit misleading. Surely any gas could be heated to the same temperature, provided it's sealed and not allowed to react with anything.
