electrical characteristics*
Helium gas has higher ionization potential than argon and gives
deeper penetration, whilst argon is denser than air and gives good
coverage of the weld area in the down hand position. We would
need 2-3 times the flow rate of helium to get the same coverage
as helium is less dense than air. In the overhead position the
reverse is true. We often mix these gases to get both benefits*
