Thorium-232 exposure during tungsten inert gas arc welding and electrode sharpening.
To assess the exposure of welders to thorium-232 (232Th) during tungsten inert gas arc (TIG) welding, airborne concentrations of 232Th in the breathing zone of the welder and background levels were measured. The radioactive concentrations were 1.11 x 10(-2) Bq/m3 during TIG welding of aluminum (TIG/Al), 1.78 x 10(-4) Bq/m3 during TIG welding of stainless steel (TIG/SS), and 1.93 x 10(-1) Bq/m3 ...
متن کاملGas tungsten arc welding
Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), also known as tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding, is an arc welding process that uses a nonconsumable tungsten electrode to produce the weld. The weld area is protected from atmospheric contamination by a shielding gas (usually an inert gas such as argon), and a filler metal is normally used, though some welds, known as autogenous welds, do not require it. A const...
متن کاملAn investigation of some health hazards in an inert-gas tungsten-arc welding shop.
Inert-gas Arc Welding of Aluminium Aluminium is used widely in metal fabrication processes, chiefly on account of its lightness, the ease with which it may be cast, and its extreme ductility. It is also highly resistant to corrosion, owing to the formation of a protective film of oxide on the surface of the metal. This latter property, however, becomes a disadvantage when it is desired to weld ...
متن کاملThe principle Of Tungsten Inert Gas (TIG) Welding Process
Process This chapter presents the principle of tungsten inert gas (TIG) welding process besides important components of TIG welding system and their role. This process is also known as gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) process. Further, fundamentals of heat generation, arc stability and arc efficiency have also been described. Additionally, comparison of argon and helium as shielded gases has bee...
متن کاملAdaptive voltage control of gas tungsten arc welding
An adaptive control based on fuzzy logic has been implemented for Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW). This adaptive controller eliminates the problems frequently experienced with traditional Automatic Voltage Control (AVC) systems, which do not adequately perform for all operational conditions because of the non-linear relationship between the arc voltage, current and arc length. This paper examin...
