Argon
Argon is valued for its total inertness, in particular at high temperatures.
Argon is used in critical industrial processes such as the manufacturing of high quality stainless steels and production of impurity-free silicon crystals for semi-conductor manufacture. Argon is also used as an inert filler gas for light bulbs and as a dry, heavier-than-air-or-nitrogen filler for the space between glass panels in high-efficiency multi-pane windows.
Huge amounts of argon is consumed in the metals and fabrication industries.
