ARGON 0X7, being 93% Argon, for all intents & purposes behaves as Argon if breathed, so it is effectively an asphyxiant.
Applications
A general-purpose shielding gas used widely for MIG welding of mild steel.
ARGON 0X7 is a mixture of 93% Argon with 7% Oxygen & a general-purpose shielding gas used widely for inert gas welding of mild steel.
ARGON 0X7, being 93% Argon, for all intents & purposes behaves as Argon if breathed, so it is effectively an asphyxiant.
Applications
A general-purpose shielding gas used widely for MIG welding of mild steel.
Hazards
As mentiond above, ARGON 0X7, being 93% Argon, for all intents & purposes behaves as Argon if breathed, so it is effectively an asphyxiant.
In confined poorly ventilated spaces, if allowed to build up and displace the air being breathed, will In high concentrations cause asphyxiation.
Initial symptoms include loss of mobility followed by loss of consciousness.
The affected person will most likely neither sense nor be aware of this which makes it essential that such a situation is to be avoided. It is however non-toxic and non-flammable.
