5-Safety of the welding features
1. Radiation hazards
Visible and invisible light radiation are generated during welding. The interaction
between a high power laser beam and the welded target material may produce a
plasma that produces UV radiation and "blue light," which may lead to conjunctivitis,
retinal photochemical damage, or skin sunburn-like reactions. Wders exposed to
invisible UV light without adequate protection may suffer permanent eye damage.
2. Skin hazards
Exposure to infrared light and ultraviolet radiation during welding damages the
skin. Infrared and ultraviolet light can cause skin burns, increasing the risk of skin
cancer and accelerating signs of skin aging. Welding sparks may also cause burns.
Laser material processing can transfer a lot of energy to the parts. Even after the
cutting process is done, the parts can be very hot. Ensure that appropriate PPE is used
to prevent potential burns. Take precaution to prevent skin damage by wearing
protective clothing such as fireproof gloves, hats, leather aprons and other
fire-resistant clothing. The sleeves and collar should be buttoned up.
3. Fire hazards
If combustible or flammable materials are near the welding area, the heat and
sparks generated during the welding process can cause a fire or explosion. Laser
welding can only be performed when there is no combustible material in the area. Do
not weld containers containing flammable or combustible materials. If the contents of
the container are unknown, they should be assumed to be flammable or combustible.
Fire extinguishers should be located nearby, easily accessible and trained to use them.
