Shielding gas mixes for MAG welding – Ar/CO2 82/18 (M21), Ar/CO2 92/8 (M20) and Ar/O2 98/2 (M13) – in refillable steel cylinders from 5 to 50 litres and pallets of 12. Other compositions on request.
Which mix for which job
- Ar/CO2 82/18 (M21) – the standard gas for MAG welding of carbon and low-alloy steel: stable arc, low spatter, good penetration. Workshops, body shops, steel construction.
- Ar/CO2 92/8 (M20) – less CO2 for thin sheet and pulsed welding: less spatter and heat input, smooth beads.
- Ar/O2 98/2 (M13) – spray-arc MAG welding of stainless steel: good wetting and bright welds.
Other compositions – argon/CO2 from 98/2 to 80/20, argon/O2 96/4 and 95/5, three-component argon/CO2/O2 mixes, argon/nitrogen – are quoted on request: argon/CO2, argon/O2, argon/CO2/O2 and custom mixes.

New cylinder, exchange or refill
- New cylinder – you buy the cylinder: no rent, no deposit.
- Exchange – send us the empty cylinder you bought from us and get a full one back.
- Refill your own cylinder – we fill it and send it back; it needs a valid test date and a valve for this gas.
Exchange and refill are ordered under Refill & exchange.
