Abstract:Several works have shown the influence of parameters and shielding gases on the generation of fumes in MIG/MAG welding, but little has been shown on the emission of toxic and asphyxiating gases. This work aims to evaluate the effect of shielding gas composition on gas emission levels in MIG/MAG welding, using pure CO2 and mixtures of Argon with CO2, maintaining the same average current. It was found that the values of CO2 generation in the data acquired in tests with 100%CO2 shielding gas varied with limits ab… Show more
