Argon emerges as a prominent selection for shielding gases in laser welding processes due to its notable capability to efficiently suppress plasma formation. and it is recommended for the best results on the widest range of materials and applications. Nitrogen is a good, lower cost alternative, specifically when welding stainless steel but is not suitable for all materials. Weld tests should be performed for the desired application to ensure there is no porosity or brittleness if the use of nitrogen shielding gas is desired.
