Argon is an inert gas- it does not react with any other gasses. While fuel gasses (acetylene) and oxygen must be separated during storage due to the fire hazard, there IS no fire hazard from an inert gas. It may be stored with fuel gasses or with oxygen.

Can you use argon and acetylene together?
acetylene is a flammable gas and relies on oxygen to burn. Argon would prevent a flame by displacing oxygen because of it's density in comparison to oxygen.
Can you weld with argon instead of acetylene?
No. Argon is not flammable.
What is the gas for welding?
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
Is oxygen chlorine silicon or argon?
argon
Which element is used in welding with oxygen?
Acetylene.

What are 8 gases?
Oxygen Nitrogen Argon Carbon Dioxide Propane Helium Hydrogen Acetylene
Can you weld with argon instead of acetylene?
No. Argon is not flammable.
Which gas is use in gas welding?
oxygen and acetylene gas Argon gas is used in MIG and TIG welding
What do industrial gases include?
Industrial gases include acetylene, argon, carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen, neon, nitrogen, nitrous oxide, and oxygen.
Which compressed gases are used for welding?
For example argon or helium for TIG welding. Oxi-fuel welding: oxygen and a combustible gas: acetylene, propane, butane, propylene, gasoline, hydrogen, etc.
How can an oxygen-acetylene torch burn underwater?
a flame needs a source which is provided by oxygen and acetylene
What is the gas for welding?
Oxygen and acetylene for flame welding. Argon for Tig welding CO2 for MIG welding steels Argon for MIG welding aluminum TRI-mix for robotic mig of steels. And helium is added for some overhead welding.
Gas used in welding is what?
GASSES - Oxygen and Acetylene. Acetylene is sometimes replaced by a mixture of gasses. The Oxygen increases the burning rate/temperature of Acetylene and temperatures in excess of 6,000o F can be reached.
What element is used to make oxy acetylene flames?
Oxygen and acetylene are used.
What gas to use for plasma cutting?
Oxygen and acetylene. A cutting head for an oxy-acetelyne torch has a trigger with greatly increases the oxygen in the mixture when activated. To cut, the excess oxygen in the flame basically burns the metal away.
What is a reaction between acetylene and oxygen that is used in welding metal?
Used in welding metals, the reaction of acetylene with oxygen has = -1256.2= -1256.2 .
