Welding is a process during which fumes, gases, electromagnetic radiation and noise are emitted as by-products. Metal oxide particles are particularly hazardous components of welding fumes. Welding has been found to be associated with respiratory symptoms and our objective in the present study was to study the effects of welding on pulmonary function and serum oxidant-antioxidant status. Fifty-...

Today, welding tasks can be accomplished in two ways: 1) Manual or conventional, which is made by humans with a welding gun; and 2) Automated welding that is carried out by robots, this robots are called “Welding Robots”. Current welding robots are able to perform welding tasks continuously under different working conditions in low-scale production such as shipbuilding or in high-scale producti...

Laser welding has been increasingly utilized to manufacture a variety of components thanks to its high quality and speed. For components with complex shapes, the welding position needs be continuously adjusted during laser welding, which makes it necessary to know the effects of the welding position on the quality of the laser welds. In this paper, the weld quality under two (flat and horizonta...

Robot automation systems are rapidly taking the place of the human work force. One of the benefits is that this change provides the human work force with the time to spend on more creative tasks. The highest population of robots is in spot welding, spray painting, material handling, and arc welding. Spot welding and spray painting applications are mostly in the automotive industry. However, arc...

Abstract The processes of rolling and annealing explosively welded multi-layered plates significantly affect the functional properties composite. In current research, fifteen-layered composite were fabricated using a single-shot explosive welding technique. composites then rolled up to 72% reduce layer thickness, followed by at 625 °C for varying times 100 h. Microstructure evolution chemical c...

BACKGROUND The prevalence of welding related respiratory symptoms coexisting with welding related systemic symptoms in welders is unknown. AIMS To determine in a sample of welders the prevalence of coexisting welding related systemic symptoms indicative of metal fume fever (MFF) and welding related respiratory symptoms suggestive of occupational asthma (OA), and the strength and significance ...

Welding is a manufacturing process, which is carried out for joining of metals by Metal Inert Gas (MIG) welding. This is the one types of Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), in which Argon and Helium is used as a inert gas. Shielding gas Argon and Helium is used and consumable electrode is used which also plays role of conductor. MIG welding is versatile, gives very little loss of alloying elements a...
