burns and cancer for the most part
No you can't get Parkinsons from welding. you either have it or you don't so welding doesn't cause it.
Welding anywhere on your car is not recommended unless you disconnect the battery. Especially TIG welding.
Yes, welding can be harmful to your eyes after LASIK eye surgery. The intense ultraviolet (UV) light and bright sparks produced during welding can cause damage to the cornea and potentially lead to complications, especially in the initial recovery period after LASIK. It's crucial to wear appropriate protective eyewear, such as a welding helmet with UV protection, to safeguard your eyes. Always consult with your eye care professional before engaging in activities like welding post-surgery.
a sound weld will have similar characteristics to the base metal. be free of cracks and fully fused to both surfaces and free of contamination.
Reflected welding light can cause eye damage such as arc eye or welder's flash, which is a painful condition similar to sunburn on the eyes. Prolonged exposure to reflected welding light without proper eye protection can lead to permanent vision problems. It can also cause skin burns and increase the risk of fires in the surrounding area.
Flash Burn and Blindness
A welding related injury can be treated with Neosporin and a bandage in most instances. If the burn is very bad, a doctor will need to treat the injury with special cremes.
Welding smoke is typically loaded with metal fumes. If you are welding mild steel, the fumes are not that bad because iron is not particularly toxic. Welding chrome or stainless steel can release some fairly dangerous fumes such as nickel and hexavalent chromium. Using an appropriate respirator or getting sufficient ventilation can provide protection.
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)
roster welding
Phosgene is a toxic gas that can be produced during welding when chlorinated hydrocarbon solvents come into contact with UV radiation or heat generated by the welding process. Exposure to phosgene can cause serious respiratory issues and even death. Proper ventilation, personal protective equipment, and avoidance of chlorinated solvents are key to preventing phosgene exposure during welding.
SAW welding is a type of arc welding while ERW welding is spot or seam welding. SAW stand for submerged arc welding while ERW stands for electric resistance welding.
