May I ask: What are the uses of argon?
In metal smelting, oxygen and argon blowing are important methods for producing high-quality steel; the amount of argon consumed per ton of steel produced is 1–3 m3. Furthermore, argon is also used as a shielding gas in the smelting of special metals such as titanium, zirconium, and germanium, as well as in the electronics industry. When welding special metals such as aluminum, magnesium, copper and their alloys, as well as stainless steel, argon is often used as a shielding gas to prevent the welded parts from being oxidized or nitrided by air. Used for the refining of semiconductor materials and rare metals ； Used for manufacturing arc lamps ； Ultra-low carbon stainless steels and the like can be obtained using the \"argon-oxygen steelmaking method\". Manufacturing insulating glass
