ABSTRACT

Welding is widely used in industry, construction, maintenance and in particular in vehicle construction. Workers performing welding tasks are exposed to magnetic fields from the welding processes. There are many different welding processes, however the most used are arc welding (MMA: Manual Metal Arc; MIG/MAG: Metal Inert Gas/ Metal Active Gas; TIG: Tungsten Inert Gas; Plasma; SMAW: Shielded metal arc welding) and resistance welding.
