Low reactivity with metal
In arc welding, Argon is used as a shielding gas because it is chemically inert and forms no compounds. At the high temperatures that welding requires, the metals being welded become highly reactive to the elements in the atmosphere. Contamination from these elements can lead to brittle welds and instability in the welding arc. So,argon and other inert gases are sprayed.
