Can you weld with argon instead of acetylene?

Argon is generally not used for welding on its own because it is an inert gas and does not support combustion like acetylene. However, argon is commonly used as a shielding gas in processes like TIG and MIG welding to protect the weld pool from atmospheric contamination.


Can argon be stored with oxygen or acetylene?

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.
