Shielding gases for welding are either inert (MIG)

or active (MAG).
Inert in this case means that the gas does not
react with the molten weld pool or the melting
electrode. Inert gases include argon and helium.
Active gases provide a greater opportunity to
optimise the process and the properties of the
finished welded product.
Many materials, such as non-alloyed steel,
require the use of an active gas to ensure
process stability and reliability.
