Uses
Helium is generally used in combination with other noble gases or active gases. Thanks to its reduced dimensions, is a great ally for leak detection in the food and beverage industry and a great assistance in the additive manufacturing process. It also allows to work with extreme welding parameters in welding and cutting processes and to avoid overheating in the MRI devices in the Healthcare bussines.

Helium for Additive manufacturing
Helium is an absolutely inert and very light gas. Its chemical and physical characteristics make it ideal for both PBF and DED 3D printing processes, but it is very rare and expensive, so it is mainly used in EBM processes given the low gas consumption that this process has. In DED processes it is often used mixed with other gases.
