Shielding Gas Selection for Welding Bronze with AMPCO-TRODE®

When welding bronze material using AMPCO-TRODE® electrodes, shielding gas selection has a direct impact on weld quality.

Gas mixtures containing CO₂, such as Stargon, which combines argon with 5% CO₂, are reactive and can cause excessive spatter, lack of penetration, and porosity. For reliable results, 100% argon shielding gas should be used.
