COVERSHIELD WELDING GASES

WestAir recognized over the years that many of the generic gas mixtures used as shielding gases worked well, but had particular properties that made some of them less efficient to use for certain welding applications. Shielding gases such as Carbon Dioxide, Argon/Co2 mixes and Pure Argon worked for most applications, but all displayed some qualities that reduced the efficiencies in the welding shop.

After extensive field research, WestAir was able to identify through our customers, what their most common problems were regarding their welding processes. Through this research, we found that spatter, excessive smoke, porosity, and contaminated or improperly mixed gases are the most common and major contributors of many welding problems.

Recognizing this, WestAir has developed a complete line of Covershield gases to increase your welding efficiencies for both Mig and Tig welding, designed to help eliminate or reduce smoke, spatter, porosity and increase welding travel speeds. Contact us for a no cost, no obligation demonstration to see which Covershield gas is best suited for your application. For more details, see our F.A.Q. regarding our Covershield brand of Premium Shielding Gas.

COMMERCIAL WELDING GASES

Not every welding process requires a premium brand welding mixture such as our Covershield Brand described above. Recognizing this, WestAir Gases and Equipment continues to manufacture a complete line of commercial grade welding and industrial mixtures and pure gases that meet or exceed CGA (Compressed Gas Associations) requirements. Whether your process is Spray, Short Arc or Tig, WestAir has a commercial mixture that is suited for all welding processes and mixed to the strictest CGA tolerances. For more information on our full line of commercial grade mixes and gases please contact us.
