Gases
Variety from acetylene to xenon
Messer offers a wide variety of gases – liquefied or gaseous and in numerous degrees of purity.
• Air gases, such as oxygen, nitrogen, argon and other noble gases, are obtained directly from the ambient air by means of air separation.
• Other gases are obtained from industry as a “waste product” (carbon dioxide) or from natural sources (helium).
• Hydrogen and acetylene are chemically produced.
• Messer provides many different standard and individual gas mixtures.
Messer 28 - 12/11
Gases for welding and cuttingProducts and Applications
Gases
Shielding gases for welding are sold under the same proprietary names across the group, and these names are based on the materials being worked:
• Ferroline - for plain and low-alloy steels
• Inoxline - for high-alloy steels and Ni-based alloys
• Aluline - for aluminium and non-ferrous metals
Other gases for welding and cutting:• Forming gas protects the back of the weld against oxidation
M L f l i l i d f i h• MegaLas - for laser material processing and for generating the laser beam
• Nitrocut and Oxycut - gases for laser cutting
• Fuel gases for oxy fuel technology• Fuel gases - for oxy-fuel technology
