Incompatibility (Materials to Avoid)
NA
Hazardous Products Produced During Decomposition
The variable composition of welding fumes and gases cannot be classified simply. The composition and quantity of both are dependent on the alloy
being welding and the process and electrodes used. The constituents of the fumes are generally different from the ingredients listed in section II and
may include oxides of the metals, chromates, fluorides, and complex metallics. The gases may include carbon monoxide, ozone and oxides of
nitrogen. The TLV for welding fumes NOC (Not otherwise classified) is 5 mg/m3.
