Main Features
ARGWELD® Trailing Shields
■ Designed for effective gas coverage when welding
titanium alloys
■ Ensures welds are left bright and shiny and eliminates both
discolouration & oxidation
■ For use on flat sheet or plate & internal or external welds on tubes,
pipes, tanks, vessels, heat exchangers etc.
■ Fit any make of GTAW/Tig ,PAW/Plasma, or GMAW/Mig
welding torch for manual or automatic welding
■ Reduces gas consumption, saves re-work &
eliminates wasted material costs, due to oxidation

Fast Payback
■ 2 Welds achieves payback
■ The use of a trailing shield of some kind for titanium welding
is almost mandatory, for the applications where the product
cannot be placed inside a Welding Enclosure
■ When welding smaller titanium components, that could be
placed in a Welding Chamber of some kind, Trailing Shields
might be dramatically more cost effective than
the use of a Welding Chamber
