Helium

² Diving

Deep-sea divers rely on gaseous helium from as a carrier gas for oxygen in synthetic breathing mixtures. This enables divers to conduct scientific investigations and explorations as well as develop offshore oil and gas resources.

² Electronics

The world of electronics we often take for granted would not be possible without helium. That's because helium provides enhanced thermal conductivity and creates the controlled environments necessary for manufacturing semiconducting devices.

² Fiber Optics

Gaseous helium is a critical consumable for producing the optical fibers in telecommunications cables that connect the "information highway."

² Metals

Helium is used to do more than create an inert gas as a shield in heat-treating applications and metal finishing. Helium also makes it possible for metallurgists to extract, smelt and refine a variety of advanced materials. More

² MRI/NMR

Liquid helium's low boiling point (-452°F or -269°C) makes it ideal for cooling the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) magnets that create the magnetic field medical professionals need to develop the detailed images of body tissue that can eliminate exploratory surgery and biopsies.

² Welding

Welders find helium's inert properties at arc temperatures ideal for welding materials with greater heat conductivity, such as aluminium and magnesium alloys.
