Abstract

From the approach of the modern welding innovation, above all else, the procedures that were developed delivered exhaust, and gases that were dangerous to the welders and the earth. The respiratory impacts commonly seen in welders include full-time bronchitis, discomfort, irregular lung function, lung fibrosis and a conceivable rise in lung development. By community debilitated ventilation and extraordinary respiratory hardware relevant to welding environments, especially in bound rooms, protective steps handled to beat consequences. Simultaneously, though, this might limit the problems and could not dispense with them. This led scientists into an eco-friendly form of welding. An environmentally friendly technique was built in this case, popularly known as friction stir welding (FSW) technique. FSW is an eco-friendly procedure and there is no need for separate gases that support weld. FSW process has no fumes, exhaust, arc glare and is an eco-friendly welding process. This paper focuses on the diseases and risks generated by welding effluents and demonstrate FSW prevalence without negotiating in strength, surface finish.
