• 1.9 L Tank. The perfect size!
• 1,300 Welds per Tank. You can expect as many as 1,300 welds per tank!
• Premium Argon. 99.50% pure argon quality for premium welding results!

The Argon Mini Plus ships without a regulator. Don't forget to order the Argon Mini Regulator for the Argon Mini Plus!

Shipping Notices:

• The Argon Mini can only be shipped by UPS Ground in the Lower 48 States. Canadian customers, please call to place your order at +1 801-658-0015.
• No Return Policy. The shipping fees and limitations associated with shipping compressed gas impede the ability to accept return orders on this product.

The Argon Mini Plus is available in packs of 2, 4, and 6. The price per tank decreases when the purchase quantity increases. Every Argon Mini Plus shipment, regardless of how many tanks are included, requires an additional $45 hazardous material fee mandated by the shipping carrier. The hazardous material fee is included in the price displayed for each pack.

Purchasing Tip: The hazardous material fee is per shipment, NOT per tank. You'll save money when you order more tanks in one shipment.

The Argon Mini Plus is designed for one-time use only. The tank cannot be refilled. However, the tank can be recycled with a local metal recycler (ask your local recycler for more information on how to prepare your tank for recycling). To that point, Sunstone encourages you to recycle all depleted tanks.

How Many Welds from One Tank?

The number of welds you get depends from an Argon Mini Plus depend upon several different factors, but you should be able to complete a minimum 1300 welds with one tank. You may get more or you may get less depending on a number of different factors.

Will I Need an Argon Regulator?

Yes. The Argon Mini Plus and the Argon Mini use the same regulator. Other regulators will NOT fit the Argon Mini Plus. You will need to order the Argon Mini Regulator. 

Say "Yes!" to Argon

Argon is a key ingredient to quality permanent jewelry welding. Argon improves both the strength and appearance of your welds. By removing pesky oxygen from around the weld you’ll avoid porosity (ugly pockmarks) and hard-to-remove soot. When you use argon, you give your customers the best possible quality and service.

Sunstone makes access to argon easy being a one stop shop for Argon Gas Regulators, Tubing, and multiple Argon Tank sizes depending on your needs. The Argon Mini Plus is small enough to fit in a shoulder bag or container yet provide all the argon you may need for a weekend pop-up.

SAY "YES!" TO ARGON

Argon is used as a shielding gas in Sunstone's Orion Welding Systems. During the welding, process metals are exposed to temperatures of upwards of 7000 Degrees. At these temperatures, most metals become liquid, which allows the formation of the weld. Argon is used to protect the molten pool of metal against elements in the Atmosphere including Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Hydrogen. These elements cause reactions with the liquid weld pool, such as porosity and increased weld spatter. Argon also plays an important role in maintaining Arc stability, which leads to increased weld penetration, better filler wire transfer, and better weld appearance.Sunstone's Premium argon is 99.996% pure Argon (Argon 4.6). Pure Argon refers to the gas being just Argon, and not mixed with another gas.

WHAT IS THE RECOMMENDED ARGON PRESSURE?

Sunstone's Orion Welding systems work best at around 10 PSI. The pressure can be adjusted depending on the workpiece and how far the electrode protrudes from the welding stylus. The further out the electrode, the more argon pressure will be required in order to get proper coverage.
