Do I Need To Wear Protective Goggles for Resistance Welding?

Yes, wearing protective goggles is very important during resistance welding. Although resistance welding does not produce significant arc light and ultraviolet radiation like arc welding, there are still some safety risks that need to be considered:

1. Splash: During resistance welding, metal may splash small particles, especially under high current conditions. These splashes may fly towards the area around the operator, including the eyes.

   
   

2. Hot gas and smoke: During resistance welding, hot gas and smoke may be generated, especially when the welded metal surface is coated or lubricated. These gases and smoke may cause irritation to the eyes.

   
   

3. Working environment: When performing resistance welding in industrial environments, there may be other impurities and particles, such as metal particles, dust, etc., which can also cause damage to the eyes.
   

Therefore, in order to protect the operator's eyes from possible harm, it is strongly recommended to wear appropriate protective goggles during resistance welding. These glasses should comply with relevant safety standards, effectively prevent substances such as metal particles, hot gases, and smoke from entering the eyes, and provide sufficient protection.
