While welding may cause a face burn if proper protective equipment is not used, that burn is caused by heat and light from the welding process, not from ozone. Where ozone is released in sufficient quantities, it may cause cough, headache, deep lung irritation and, in the more eggregious cases, pulmonary edema (fluid in the lungs)

Why is welding in the downward position an advantage when welding on sheet metal?

Verticle down welding will always have lower penetration and less heat applied to the weld joint. As sheet metal is thinner and can not take excessive heat, verticle down reduces burn-through.


Why do things burn when passing through earth's ozone layer?

The Sun emits a broad spectrum of light including UV-C and UV-B. When UV-C is absorbed by an oxygen molecule, sometimes ozone is formed. When UV-B or UV-C is absorbed by ozone it breaks apart, and sometimes ozone is formed again. So "burning through" ozone also produces some ozone. The amount of ozone at any given time is a delicate balance between incident sunlight, ozone left over from the previous day (ozone decays with time too), the amount of oxygen available, and the various decay paths presented by contaminants. As contaminants increase, or new decay pathways are presented, ozone concentration decreases. Not only will the sun not burn through the ozone layer, the sun is required to create new ozone. The thin layer we misrepresent as a hole is due primarily because the sun can not react with the atmosphere and the ozone naturally decays.


What is difference between melt through and burn through in welding defects?

In welding, "melt through" occurs when excessive heat causes the base metal to be penetrated, resulting in a hole. "Burn through" happens when the heat is so intense that the molten metal actually burns away portions of the base metal, leading to thinning or complete loss of material. Both defects can weaken the weld joint and compromise its integrity.


What would happen if their was no ozone on earth?

We will be burn just like sun burn


What kind of welding machine do you use to weld your muffler?

I would use a wire feed MIG, or a oxy-fuel torch. If arc welding, use a low power. It's really easy to burn through exhaust pipes and mufflers.


Why don't you burn when the sun gets really hot?

you don't burn because of the ozone layer of the earth. the ozone layer is a layer on earth that observes solar ultraviolet radiation.


How much are classes for welding?

Classes for welding are to help you learn how to weld and how not to burn yourself. They have books on how to weld and everything to do with it.


What are welding goggles?

Welding Goggles are goggles you wear when you are welding something to protect your eyes and around your eyes from sparks and tiny hot metal peices that can burn your eye. They are mainly for safety. Hope I helped@


What is bad about the holes in the ozone?

The Ozone layer protects us from the sun. If we didn't have the Ozone layer, our Earth would burn up as we would be fully exposed to the sun.

How do VOCs contribute to troposphereic ozone?

Volatile Organic Compounds are decomposed compounds. They burn to emit CO2 with could form ozone.


Is ozone layer good or bad?

The ozone layer is good because if we didn't have it the suns rays would burn us really badly.
