Weldmix 2% AR CO₂ - B10
A Weldmix 2% B10 gas cylinder is a medium-sized, industrial gas cylinder with a water capacity of 10 liters, filled with a high-quality mixed gas for MAG (Metal Active Gas) welding. The ratio of 98% Argon and 2% CO₂ is the industry standard for welding thin steel plates and stainless steel, where a beautiful, smooth weld seam and minimal spatter are required.
The gas is compressed under high pressure (200 bar). Unlike pure CO₂ cylinders, this mixture is stable in gaseous form, which means that the pressure in the cylinder directly correlates with the remaining supply. This format (B10) is the most popular choice for professionals looking for a balance between mobility and a workable supply for their welding projects.
Key features:
- Optimal welding quality: The addition of 2% CO₂ to the Argon ensures a very stable arc and good penetration in thin materials, while the high concentration of Argon ensures a calm weld pool.
- B10 format: Offers twice the capacity of the B5 cylinder, which halves the frequency of cylinder changes and increases efficiency at the workplace.
- Versatility: Extremely suitable for both high-level hobbyist use and professional repair work and on-site assembly.
- High-pressure system: Operates with a constant pressure ratio, allowing you to maintain a stable gas flow until the end of the cylinder.
Product details
Weldmix 2% CO₂ gas cylinder, filled with 10L of AR CO₂, specially developed for welding stainless steel (designed for long-term and professional use).
Transport
Transport & Use:
- Vertical fixation: Always secure the B10 cylinder upright in a cylinder holder or with a sturdy strap, both on a welding cart and in your company van. This prevents unnecessary damage to the valve.
- Transport: Never transport the cylinder with a connected pressure regulator or hose. Ensure that the cargo area of your vehicle is ventilated.
- Storage: Preferably store the cylinders in a dry and well-ventilated environment.
Safety
Specific safety information for Weldmix 2%:
- Asphyxiation hazard: Argon and CO₂ are heavier than air. In small, confined spaces (such as a container or a basement), this mixed gas can accumulate near the floor and displace oxygen. Always ensure adequate ventilation.
- Pressure regulator: Use a pressure regulator specifically designed for Argon mixtures. Because the mixture is under high pressure, a robust regulator is required that can accurately reduce the pressure for the torch (flow meter).
- Valve protection: The B10 cylinder is stable, but the valve remains vulnerable. Always screw the protective cap onto the cylinder after use or during transport.
- No contamination: Keep the cylinder and the couplings free of oil and grease. Although this mixture is inert, contamination on the connection can lead to impurities in the weld seam.
