Why is welding mask so important

Friends who are skilled in welding technology at home must be familiar with welding masks. It can protect the safety of operators during welding and cutting operations, and is also popularly called an electric welding helmet.


The traditional impression of welding protection is mostly that, as long as you wear a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes from the damage caused by the welding glare. But in fact, welding protection needs more attention than we thought.


Electric welding refers to a welding method that uses electric energy, heat or pressure, or both, and uses or does not use filler materials to achieve atomic bonding of weldments. Its working principle is: the transformer in the electric welding machine reduces the voltage, enhances the current, and causes the electric energy to generate huge arc heat to melt the welding rod and the steel, and the melting of the welding rod makes the fusion between the steel higher. Arc welding is the most widely used welding method, including manual arc welding, submerged arc welding, tungsten gas shielded arc welding, plasma arc welding, molten electrode gas shielded welding and so on. Because arc welding uses a power source, the high-temperature arc generated by it is prone to fire and explosion, which is more dangerous.


In addition to the above-mentioned strong light damage to the eyes, the harmful ultraviolet and infrared radiation generated by the arc can also cause irreversible damage to the eyes. Metal melted or even vaporized by high heat during operation will escape into the air through heat. When we breathe in air containing metal powder, it will have a serious impact on our respiratory system. It is also necessary to pay attention to the damage to the skin caused by high temperature splashes and harmful objects to avoid burns.


Under today's industrial technology and strict national standards, welding masks can not only provide people with good protection. Effectively reduce facial burns, eye inflammation and pneumoconiosis caused by welding operations. At the same time, precise welding operations can be performed in a high-brightness arc.


If your family or friends do not wear welding masks and other protective measures during welding operations, you can buy one for him and conduct popular science on him.
