Pipe root welding

Why is gas shielded welding required for the single-sided root welding of pipes at temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius? What improvements are there for welding quality? Carbon steel pipes, need some advice
For single-sided root welding on pipes at temperatures below -20 degrees Celsius, gas shielded welding is used, primarily to prevent the weld metal and the heat-affected zone from being attacked by impurities such as oxygen, nitrogen, and water vapor in the air during welding, which could otherwise cause defects such as oxidation, slag inclusions, and pores. Gas shielded welding can effectively isolate these impurities, reduce welding defects, improve the quality and mechanical properties of the weld, and ensure the uniformity and stability of the weld. Furthermore, gas shielding also helps to control the shape of the weld and the stability of the welding arc, thereby improving the weldability and environmental safety. .
