Welding and Cutting at a Glance
Welding and cutting are industrial fabrication processes used to transform raw materials - plate metal, tube stock, etc. - into machines and structures.
Cutting is used to separate pieces of metal sheets, structures and pipes. This is achieved by using flame, plasma or laser cutting where the gas is an active component to melt, burn, vaporize or blow away excess material, thereby creating clean edges.
The right gas for each particular situation
Welding joins these materials, usually metals, by melting their edges so that they fuse together. The main process is arc welding. For this process, a gas is required to shield the liquid pool from the air. Argon-based mixtures are the industry standard.
Our Gas Solutions
Air Liquide understands the unique nature of its customers’ needs and brings them the right gas for their particular situation.
To this end, we supply welding and cutting premium gases to actors involved in the following industries:
- Metal Fabrication
- Construction and infrastructures
- Automotive
- Aeronautics
- Energy
- Workshops and repair
For these industries, our primary offer is based on three leading gas ranges:
- ARCAL for arc welding (TIG / MIG or MAG processes)
- FLAMAL for oxy-fuel cutting and for flame heating or braze-welding (oxyacetylene welding)
- LASAL for laser cutting and welding
To accompany our gas solutions for welding, we also offer a wide range of gas handling and welding equipment.
