FAQs

As a trusted supplier of gas, we frequently get asked questions about gas safety, the difference between butane and propane, as well as the best uses for our gas products. In this blog, we’ll be answering our most common FAQs.

MIG/MAG (GMAW): Always uses shielding gas (unless flux-cored gasless wire)
TIG (GTAW): Always uses shielding gas (usually Argon)
MMA/Stick (SMAW): No external gas needed (flux coating provides shielding)

The right MIG welding gas depends on the material you are welding and the finish you want to achieve. Argon and CO2 mixes are commonly used for mild steel, while higher argon blends are better suited to stainless steel and aluminium. Adams Gas offers a wide range of MIG welding gases and can help customers choose the most suitable option for consistent, high quality results.

Pure CO2 is a cost effective option that delivers good penetration, but it can create more spatter and a rougher weld finish. Mixed gases cover cleaner welds, better arc stability, and improved control. Adams Gas supplies both pure CO2 and mixed gas options so welders can choose the right balance between performance and cost.

Disposable gas cylinders are most practical for short duration tasks, site work, mobile jobs, or low volume usage where portability and convenience are priorities. They are commonly chosen when returning or storing refillable cylinders is not efficient. Adams Gas supplies disposable gas cylinders suited to these use cases.

Disposable gas cylinders are typically used for light welding, brazing, soldering, heating, and maintenance tasks. They are often ed for repair work, installation jobs, and situations where compact equipment is required. Adams Gas provides disposable gas cylinders suitable for professional and trade applications.

Disposable cylinders offer convenience and portability, while refillable cylinders are generally more cost effective for regular or high volume use. Disposable options are best suited to occasional or mobile work where efficiency and ease of use outweigh long term running costs. Adams Gas offers both disposable and refillable options so users can choose the most efficient solution.
