If you’re in the steel welding industry, you should be concerned about the dangers associated with the processes involved. Whether it is the welder, or anyone else who works within the premises where the welding process takes place, each one can be affected by the hazardous gases produced when the metal is welded. The harmful gases can be produced directly from the structural steel, and also by chemical reactions from the air. Structural steel – The pros and cons Structural steel is a low-carbon, non-alloyed or low-alloyed steel that is not heat-treated, or only partially treated. This type of steel is used in construction, bridge building, mechanical engineering, ship building, and other such constructional industries. The reason behind such wide usage of structural steel is its mechanical strength, toughness, durability, and affordability. However, despite all these benefits, one must be careful while working with the metal because the side-effects of welding such a metal remain q
