Hobbyweld 15 (Argon CO2 MIG Mix)

Description

COLLECTION ONLY

A solution for hobby or occasional users for whom bottle rental charges from other gas bottle suppliers are uneconomical.  A refundable deposit is payable on initial rental, and thereafter only the cost of the gas is payable on exchange for a full bottle.  For obvious reasons, these bottles are for collection only.

These 9L bottles are equivalent to 21 x 600ml disposable cylinders or 13 x 1L disposable cylinders, and use the same regulator fittings as BOC, Air Products and Air Liquide.

The average welding time for a CO2/Argon mix cylinder is 5 hours continuous welding

This gas mix contains a higher CO2 content than the Hobbyweld 5 so offers combined benefits of good welding performance and minimal spatter make it very popular among the agricultural, on-site and mobile welding market. This gas is used in structural steel work and general fabrication.

Hobbyweld 15 is recommended for use with mild steel at a thickness of over 7mm. For thinner materials, please see Hobbyweld 5.

Features

• Good penetration and fusion profiles
• Excellent arc stability
• Low distortion
• Low oxidation potential
• Low levels of nitrogen and moisture

Benefits

• Easy to use, providing a sound weld at minimum cost
• Low oxidation potential
• Can also be used for MIG welding stainless steel in less critical applications
• High strength welds
• Minimal splatter producing good appearance and finish
• Minimises post-weld treatment and rework
• Low porosity and other defects

Applications and uses

• Specially formulated for MIG welding sheet and mild steel less than 4mm thick
• A suitable gas for use in vehicle repair as it provides dip transfer in all positions with solid wire
• The oxidising potential of this mixture has a tendency to produce welds with a black surface film, so generally not recommended for stainless steel applications.
