2.3 Other hazards

Improper use of the weld metal product or inadequate preparation of the conductors, moulds or surroundings can result in aggressive reactions. Self-propagating high temperature reaction will occur if heated above ignition temperature. Generates molten metal in excess of 2500ºF (1370ºC), slag and dense, dusty smoke. The molten product can cause serious burns. Weld metal, conductors, moulds and joints remain hot for prolonged periods, after reaction occurs. Always use safety equipment. Inhalation of powder or fumes may cause metal fume fever. Exposure to reaction by-products: See section 8
