- Aluminum
Hazards/effects Measures/regulations Repair stage 1 and 2:
No hazards/effectsnone Repair stage 3: (Welding - only E52) - Explosion hazard due to high concentration of fine aluminum dust.
Arising e.g. during straight-through grinding of coated components in the base material and large-surface grinding of bright-finish components.
- Explosion hazard due to swirling up of fine aluminum dust in cavities.
Created by the necessary, thorough cleaning of machining surfaces and tools before and after machining aluminum.
- Avoid high concentration of fine aluminum dust by means of continuous extraction.
- Use explosion-proof exhaust extraction unit
- Do not use compressed air when cleaning the workbay.
- Avoid swirling up dust when cleaning the workbay.
- Spontaneous combustion of fine aluminum dust when ignition and fire sources are drawn in.
E.g.: hot swarf, grinding sparks, cigarettes, etc.
- Do not operate ignition and fire sources in the intake area of exhaust extraction unit.
- Explosion hazard due to high concentration of fine aluminum dust.
- Carbon
Hazards/effects Measures/regulations Repair stage 1:
No hazards/effectsnone Repair stage 2 and 3: - Explosion hazard due to high concentration of carbon dust.
Produced when grinding carbon.
- Explosion hazard due to swirling up of carbon dust in cavities.
Created by the necessary, thorough cleaning of machining surfaces and tools before and after machining carbon.
- Avoid high concentration of carbon dust by drawing it off continuously.
- Use explosion-proof exhaust extraction unit
- Do not use compressed air when cleaning the workbay.
- Avoid swirling up dust when cleaning the workbay.
- Spontaneous combustion of carbon dust when ignition and fire sources are drawn in.
E.g.: hot swarf, grinding sparks, cigarettes, etc.
- Do not operate ignition and fire sources in the intake area of exhaust extraction unit.
- Explosion hazard due to high concentration of carbon dust.
