A Japanese Spring Manufacturer had spatter control and adhesion problems. Therefore tests where conducted on the volume of spatter produced, and the adhesion to the work piece and the removal process of the spatter.

Summarizing the results, when Spatter Shield is used, the time required for spatter removal will be reduced to 1/3 or less in comparison with the MAG welding, for the following reasons.

1.  Jet chisel is not required.

2.  Since the spatter particles are fine and the deposition is less, the spatter can be easily removed.

3. Spatter deposited on the bead decreases.

Therefore, personnel cost, etc. will be reduced, and working efficiency will be considerably enhanced. From the welding workers, we received comments, “as clearly seen from the arc during welding, spatter production decreased and particles became smaller. Spatter removal became much easier in comparison with the conventional method.”
