You are on a job site where IR192 is being used to radiograph welds. Identify three ways to protect yourself from the hazardous radiation emitted by the IR192?
Maintain a safe distance from the radiation source. Provide shielding. Use a radiation alarm.
Explain why arc strikes on a weldment might be objectionable and also state two possible causes:
Part I The arc strike is similar to a very small weld, one made without preheat and certainly smaller than the minimum weld size required to reduce the risk of cracking. The arc strike cools very rapidly, leaving a very small but very hard surface and heat-affected zone (HAZ). A high-hardness HAZ increases the risk of brittle fracture, hence an arc strike may serve as a crack initiator.
