Atmospheric Contamination Associated with Inert-Gas-Shielded, Consumable Electrode Welding (open access)

Atmospheric Contamination Associated with Inert-Gas-Shielded, Consumable Electrode Welding

Apparent excessive concentrations of atmospheric contamination which were reported to be associated with an inert-gas-shielded consumable electrode arc wielding operation were studied to evaluate the potential health hazards. A study was made of the concentrations of metal fume and gaseous products of the operation as well as the spectrum of ultraviolet radiation. Recommendations for necessary controls were made.
