Nitrogen gas is used around the laser tip for two purposes; 1) to maintain the proper weld temperature, and 2) to get oxygen and moisture out of the beam path. Nitrogen purity levels are typically 99% to 99.9%, but can vary depending on the exact requirements. Typical feed pressure for this laser process typically does not exceed 70 PSIG. An onsite nitrogen generator can save you hundreds of thousands of dollars over bulk N₂ gas.
