In order to ensure the welding quality, equipment appearance, weld excess height and other requirements of the equipment, argon arc welding is often used to weld the tank cylinder and other components. The deformation of the argon arc welding equipment body is small, but the argon arc welding method requires argon gas to be filled for welding.
