Consumables for repair and maintenance welding

The effects of welding parameters on ultra-violet light emissions, ozone and CrVI formation in MIG welding.

This paper describes the relationships between ultra-violet emission, ozone generation and CrVI production in MIG welding which were measured as a function of shield gas flow rate, welding voltage, electrode stick-out and shield gas composition using an automatic welding rig that permitted MIG welding under reproducible conditions. The experimental results are interpreted in terms of the physic...

Emission of UV radiation during arc welding (Information of IFA)

Skin cancer caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation has risen to prominence in the occupational disease sector. When establishing the work-related preconditions for recognition of occupational diseases, it is important to investigate of the sick person’s exposure to UV radiation. Employees engaged in welding work in particular may be exposed to a high level of UV radiation. Although it is possible...
