Causes of Injuires While Arc Welding

  • Arc welders may be injured by flying sparks or particles of hot metal.
  • The process of arc cutting produces ultraviolet radiation which may seriously harm the arc welders' health.
  • Metal fumes to which arc welders are exposed during their work are hazardous to their health.
  • Arc welders must often handle heavy loads and work in uncomfortable postures (e.g., standing for long periods). This may
  • cause trauma and, in the course of time, back, arm, hand, and leg pain.

Three Basic Welding Processes

STICK Welding
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
, also known as STICK Welding, is an arc welding process using a coated electrode typically applied manually. It produces a high quality weld and can be used on different types of metals of varying thicknesses with excellent uniformity. It has a wide range of applications in industry.

MIG Welding

Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW), also known as MIG Welding, is an arc welding process using a continuous feed filler wire and is used widely in the sheet metal industry as it is both fast and economical. A variation on this is Flux Core Arc Welding.

TIG Welding
Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW), also known as TIG, is an arc welding process using a nonconsumed tungsten electrode with filler wire fed manually. This process produces high quality welds, can be used on almost any metal and is used for more precise welding requirements.

An Introduction to TIG Welding

A tungsten electrode heats metal like steel, stainless steel, magnesium etc for welding purpose and Argon gas protects the weld puddle from airborne contaminants. Some of the benefits of TIG welding are: TIG welding produces high quality, clean welding on any metal. This welding generally uses non-consumable tungsten.

TIG Welding is used to weld steel, stainless steel, aluminum, nickel alloys, magnesium, gold etc. It also welds bike frames, lawn mowers, fenders and more. It does not create smoke or fumes. Before a person starts welding, it would be better if they clean the base metal properly. Aragon gas is used to for most of the TIG welding projects. TIG welding can be done in all positions-flat, horizontal, vertical or overhead. Because only the necessary amount of filler metal is added to the welding puddle, no spatter or sparks are produced.
