Argon is a colorless, odorless, monatomic inert gas. Its chemical properties are extremely inactive and it is not easy to react chemically with other substances. At room temperature, argon is a colorless and odorless gas. Its density is 1.4 times that of air. Argon is widely used in industry, mainly in the following industries:
Welding and cutting
Argon serves as a shielding gas to prevent oxidation during welding and cutting to ensure welding quality.
Electronics industry
Used in LED, transistor manufacturing and vapor deposition, cleaning and dilution processes in the semiconductor industry.
Food and medicine
Used for filling and modified atmosphere packaging of beverages, beer and medicines to ensure product quality.
Meteorology and astronomy
Used for hydrogen spectrum calibration, tension scanning electron microscope sample preparation, etc.
Metal smelting and photovoltaic
Used in metal smelting to produce high-quality steel. In the photovoltaic industry, it protects monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon from oxidation.
