Hydrogen (H2) can be used pure or in a mixture. The mixture consisting of small percentages of Hydrogen and Argon is frequently used in welding processes as shielding gas for the TIG / MIG process of austenitic and copper steels or in MAG welding of austenitic steels.
It’s is also used in plasma welding (always in a mixture) to generate the plasma itself. It is also used in significant percentages in the plasma cutting process for cutting austenitic and high-alloy steels.
