Oxygen Information BOC's oxygen gas cylinders are designed to support a wide range of industries and applications. Supplied with a purity of 99.5% rating, BOC industrial grade Oxygen vigorously supports the combustion of many materials such as copper, brass, stainless steel. Oxygen is widely used in combination with a fuel gas for cutting and welding these materials. Please note: Industrial-grade oxygen must never been used for medical purposes.

Oxygen is widely used with a fuel gas for cutting, welding, brazing and soldering. The use of oxygen gives higher flame temperatures than if air is used. Features Supplied with a 99.5% purity rating Colourless and odourless Does not burn but supports and accelerates combustion Non-toxic at atmospheric pressure Benefits Vigorously supports combustion. Introducing oxygen to conventional air-fuel flames increases the temperature of the flame. Used as an ingredient in some shielding gas mixtures, due to its ability to help stabilise the arc and reduce surface tension. When cutting, a 1% reduction in purity increases oxygen consumption by 25% and reduces the cutting speed by a similar amount. Cylinders & supply Industrial Oxygen cylinder sizes include the compact, portable E cylinder containing 0.68m3 of gas and weighing just 7kg.

Combining helium with argon these mixtures greatly improve welding speeds, increase deposition rates and reduce preheat requirements. Alushield will help a skilled welder to produce smooth, clean, defect free welds in all grades of aluminium. Alushield Heavy Alushield Heavy is a mixture of 75% helium and 25% argon developed primarily for the MIG welding of aluminium above 10mm and TIG welding of aluminium above 6mm thick.It produces the most fluid weld pool of all the Alushield gases and this gives deep, broad weld profiles with much lower reinforcement levels than the other gases, especially argon. On thick sections (12mm and above) an added advantage of Alushield Heavy is that plate edge preparation angles are reduced without losing penetration.This is due to Alushield Heavy's ability to punch into a material with its far higher energy transfer. Not having to use such a large edge preparation angle reduces the amount of wire required to complete joints and the number of welding passes, a key part in cutting production costs.

Awaiting image Argon/Hydrogen 2.5% H2, Ar has been developed to have improved characteristics over argon suited to manual applications, welders find the more fluid weld pool easier to control giving flatter, smoother weld beads. Easier and faster to use than argon, the small amount of hydrogen helps to scavenge any oxygen from around the weld area, producing a bright clean weld and smooth surface finish. The hydrogen content of the shielding gas stiffens the welding arc and increases the fluidity of the weld pool, making it easier to produce a neat, tidy weld bead. Improved fluidity increases welding speed compared to argon, resulting in lower weld costs.

Used for welding construction work on steel greater than 10 millimetres thick, Argoshield Heavy has a much higher Carbon Dioxide content and consistently produces strong, reliable welds with a deep, bowl-shaped penetration. This product is particularly suited to work where large numbers of multi-pass welds in spray transfer are required on heavy sections. The product's excellent arc stability and precise formulation for this type of work delivers faster welding speeds which reduces production costs. Argoshield Heavy is ideally suited for heavy engineering and structural work including shipbuilding and repair, boiler manufacturing and the production of bigger, stronger vehicles. Combines 2% Oxygen, 20% Carbon Dioxide, balance Argon Specially formulated for MIG welding constructional steel work of mild steel greater than 10mm thick Ideal for heavy engineering and structural work such as shipbuilding and repair, heavy vehicle and boiler manufacturing Is suitable for a wide range of applications from welding thick-walled pipes and pressure vessels to earth-moving equipment High carbon dioxide content gives mild steel welding good rounded penetration profiles, producing consistently reliable and strong welds with a deep, bowl-shaped penetration.

Argoshield Light is specifically formulated for MIG welding sheet and thin sections of mild steel less than 4mm thick. The low levels of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the weld reduce the risk of burning through and leaving holes in the weld area. The addition of oxygen improves the flow of the molten weld metal producing flatter welds with lower levels of reinforcement. This can greatly reduce the need to machine or grind down the reinforcement, which is a known stress raiser, reducing production costs. Argoshield Light has excellent arc stability minimising the amount of spatter produced. Reduced spatter means less welding wire being wasted, as well as shorter clean up time. This makes the product ideal for welding components that are painted or powder coated after welding. The faster welding speeds achievable with this gas coupled with a low heat input also help to reduce welding distortion. Benefits Combines 2% Oxygen, 5% Carbon Dioxide, balance Argon Formulated for MIG welding sheet and thin sections of mild steel less than 4mm thick Ideal for duct and sheet-metal engineering industries A suitable gas in automotive component manufacturing and 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. In many stainless steel applications, this type of surface finish would be considered unacceptable and removal of the surface film would be required. Cleaning away this residue can be both time-consuming and costly. Due to this, other products such as the BOC Stainshield range of gases would be recommended.

Argoshield Universal delivers quality and economy across several engineering applications including pipe and tube joining, light to medium plate fabrication and structural steel works.

The BOC Specshield range delivers superior results when TIG or plasma welding austenitic stainless steels or plasma cutting stainless steel and aluminium. This argon-nitrogen mixture has been specially developed to deliver optimum results when TIG welding duplex stainless steels. Nitrogen is present as 2.5% by volume as many duplex stainless steels, particularly super duplex stainless steels, have nitrogen in the metal to improve corrosion resistance. When heated for welding (with a standard shielding gas) there is a danger that the nitrogen levels in the duplex stainless steel will lessen and corrosion resistance deteriorates. Specshield 2.5% Nitrogen in Argon reduces the level of nitrogen loss in these metals to ensure good corrosion resistance as well an excellent weld quality. Advanced BOC Shielding Gas Argon-nitrogen mixture formulated for welding duplex stainless steels Argon-nitrogen mixture formulated for welding duplex stainless steels Delivers good, first-time weld quality

Please note: Product code 30-ZY is no longer available to purchase. Please purchase Specshield 20% CO2, Ar EVOS ViPR Cylinder, product code 30-V33. BOC SPECSHIELD 20% carbon dioxide in argon is an advanced, two component shielding gas used for flux and metal cored arc welding of carbon, alloy and stainless steels and for MIG welding of carbon and some alloy steels. This product has been formulated to meet the ever increasing demands of industry and for the wide range of welding consumables now available. This shielding gas has been developed through the regular assessments of shielding gases to ensure its performance matches that required by modern industrial manufacturing methods and the latest in modern electronic welding power sources. It should not be used to MIG weld stainless steel or nickel alloys because of the problems relating to carbon pick-up.

Used primarily for plasma cutting aluminium and stainless steel as the plasma gas it produces a smoother cut face at higher speeds than other mixtures. It is often used in combination with nitrogen or carbon dioxide secondary gas. From the MAPAX gas range. Is often used in combination with Nitrogen or Carbon Dioxide secondary gas.

The BOC Specshield range combines argon and hydrogen to deliver superior results when TIG or plasma welding austenitic stainless steels or plasma cutting stainless steel and aluminium. The addition of hydrogen to Specshield improves the penetration and surface finish. In automatic welding hydrogen improves welding speeds and produces a flatter weld bead. Specshield 5% Hydrogen in Argon achieves better welding speeds than other suitable shielding gases, helps cut production costs as well as reducing the amount of distortion created in the components being produced. Adding hydrogen increases the cleaning of the material being welded and the amount of energy transferred into the weld, resulting in better welding speeds and less post-weld cleaning. Advanced BOC Shielding Gas Superior results TIG or plasma welding stainless steels Superior results TIG or plasma welding stainless steels Faster welding speeds to increase productivity, less gas used Additional energy transferred into weld Reduces overall production costs

The BOC Stainshield range is precisely formulated to produce outstanding, first-time results when working with stainless steel. Stainshield enables professional welders to achieve strong, smooth, clean and defect-free welds without the need for time-consuming and expensive rework. Argon, carbon dioxide and helium are combined in different quantities for MIG welding applications. Stainshield Light is ideal for welding stainless steel up to 3mm in thickness and produces clean, bright welds with a flat profile. Specially formulated for dip transfer with solid wire, Stainshield Light produces minimal spatter, low distortion and provides excellent positional characteristics (flat, horizontal, vertical or overhead) ensuring even the most complex welds can be performed.

The BOC Stainshield range consists of a mix of argon, helium and carbon dioxide shielding gases for MIG welding stainless steel, and an argon-hydrogen mixture for TIG welding austenitic stainless steels.

Stainshield TIG gas has been developed to have improved characteristics over argon suited to manual applications, including TIG welding austenitic stainless steel (300 series). Welders find the more fluid weld pool easier to control giving flatter, smoother weld beads. Primarily used for plasma welding of austenitic stainless steels. The thicker the section of material to be welded, the higher the hydrogen content in the plasma shielding gas. Easier and faster to use than argon, the small amount of hydrogen helps to scavenge any oxygen from around the weld area, producing a bright clean weld and smooth surface finish. The hydrogen content of the shielding gas stiffens the welding arc and increases the fluidity of the weld pool, making it easier to produce a neat, tidy weld bead. Improved fluidity increases welding speed compared to argon, resulting in lower weld costs.
