Industrial Gases and Their Applications in Manufacturing.docx

1. Industrial Gases and Their Applications in Manufacturing Industrial gases make an important part of most of the manufacturing processes, including the automotive industry, steel manufacturing industry, and many others. This article discusses some of the applications of specialty gases in the manufacturing industry. Industrial gases are specially manufactured for use in the industry, The most important gases produced by industrial gas manufacturers include oxygen, nitrogen, argon, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, acetylene, helium, and many others. These gases form a vital part of the manufacturing process in a wide range of industries. Here are some of their applications in the manufacturing industry. Automotive industry HiQ specialty gases are provided by many industrial gas suppliers and are used in the locomotive industry like xenon in-car heal lamps, argon, and nitrogen in indicator lamps. Lasers with specialty gas mixers are used to cut sheet metal doors and car bodies. Also, automotive air conditioning heat exchangers are assembled by the brazing process in a controlled nitrogen or hydrogen atmosphere, as it allows the brazed joints to achieve the highest level of leak-free strength. Semiconductors Semiconductors are manufactured using gas materials. Semiconductor fabrication is enabled by using industrial gases. Since gases have the ability to create chemical reactions at the molecular level, it helps to shape a semiconductor's electrical conducting properties, in order to allow or prevent the movement of electrons. But these gases, provided by the industrial gas manufacturers should be precisely and accurately dispensed at every stage of its development to incite the right reactions, for ensuring that the semiconductor is configured to properly regulate electron movement. Steel manufacturing and metal fabrication Industrial gases are widely used in primary and fabricated metals production like steel manufacturing and metal fabrication. In the steel manufacturing process, oxygen is the primary raw material and is crucial to steel-making technologies like the basic oxygen process and the electric arc furnace. In the refining of stainless steel, argon is used in conjunction with oxygen. Acetylene is used for welding and metal cutting, nitrogen is used in heat-treating and metalworking for products like metal rods, sheets, wires, and castings; and argon is used as a shielding gas for the electric arc welding of non-ferrous and specialty metals. Other manufacturing industries Specialty gases like argon, nitrogen, neon, krypton, and xenon are used in the manufacture of light bulbs. These gases are used to fill the gaps between double glazing windows to ensure that

Quality control of raw materials like metals, and plastics, is enabled by using a wide range of high purity industrial gases. Also, the safety testing, including flammability and combustibility testing, of toys and other products is done by using many high purity gases and gas mixtures.
