Abstract
During high power laser beam welding, hazardous UV-radiation and short-wavelength visible (blue-) light is emitted by the high temperature plasma above the weldingkeyhole. Spectral measurements of the plasma emission show that the allowed dose for UV-radiation and blue-light exposure per work day can be exceeded in as short as a few seconds. Even more hazardous UV emissions are produced when the welding processing parameters are not optimised and plasma shielding occurs.During high power laser beam welding, hazardous UV-radiation and short-wavelength visible (blue-) light is emitted by the high temperature plasma above the weldingkeyhole.
