SMAW-best GMAW-best PWHT
P numbers 1st Base metal 2nd Base metal Notes
GTAW-best FCAW-best REQ'D
A) For matl data info, P & A #'s,,see (Sec 9, QW Art-4,#422)... (For specific matl see ASME Sect 2-A matls)
B) PWHT REQ'D column does not reflect comprehensive heat requirements for all matl, advise further research!
(See Sec 8, UCS-56 & UHT-56),,,,,, PreHeat req (See Sec 8 App R)
C) Pink hi-lite means there is missing data and more information is required!

Rutile sand
Mainly present as Titanium dioxide which is a respiratory irritant but in effect
mainly a nuisance material of low toxicity.
Chromium
Chromium can exist in differing forms in welding fumes and this can
determine the potential health effects. Chromium can produce respiratory
effects such as nasal ulceration and possible lung cancer. It can also cause
contact skin dermatitis.
The most toxic form of chromium is hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) which is
classified as a human carcinogen. The other main form of chromium found in
welding fumes (Cr3+) is considerably less toxic and is not classified as a
carcinogen. Both types of chromium are found in the fume from this product.
Nickel
The main health effects of nickel are skin dermatitis (nickel ‘itch’) and it being
classified as a potential human lung carcinogen. It may also cause nasal cancer.
Similar to chromium, nickel exists in the fume produced from stainless steel
welding.
Molybdenum
Molybdenum is of low toxicity, and no specific health effects would be
expected from exposure to it in welding fume.
Copper
Copper is one of the main causes of any metal fume fever observed during
welding. Metal fume fever is a delayed respiratory effect produced by
inhalation of fume. Symptoms include sweating, chills, fever, muscle aches
and high temperature. These acute symptoms normally alleviate within 24-48
hours.
Ozone and Nitrogen oxides
These gases are formed due to interactions of the arc with the surrounding air
of the welding arc .Both gases can produce eye, respiratory and lung irritation
and also can produce longer term lung effects such as decreased lung capacity,
chronic bronchitis, and emphysema. Of particular concern with both gases is
that exposure to high levels (eg due to build up in confined spaces) can result
in acute lung effects such as delayed pulmonary oedema.
Carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide
Carbon monoxide (CO) is a chemical asphyxiant and its toxicity is due to its
affinity for oxygen carrying blood haemoglobin causing fatigue, weakness,
dizziness and eventual unconsciousness and possible death. Carbon dioxide
(CO2) is mainly an asphyxiant but can exert some toxic properties by
increasing pulse and heart rate. These gases are mainly formed through
decomposition of some electrodes’ components (cellulose and carbonates).
12. ECOLOGICAL DATA

The welding process produces particulate fumes and gases which may cause
long term adverse effects in the environment if released directly into the
atmosphere. Welding fumes from electrodes covered by this data sheet can
produce carbon dioxide gas, which is dangerous to the ozone layer.
13. DISPOSAL DATA

Packaging, stub ends and slag residue should be disposed of as general waste
or recycled. No special precautions are required for this product.
