This presentation is aimed at specialists and managers as well as their employees in heat treatment plants. The large number of gases used in inert gas heat treatment presents a particular hazard potential due to the combination of different media and temperatures. The lecture highlights various sources of danger. A large number of illustrative experiments on various properties deepen the knowledge gained. Topics discussed include: physical, chemical and physiological relationships and effects of individual media from a safety point of view; ignition zones; deflagrations and explosions; recommendations for the safe operation of inert gas furnaces
