Abstract Oil films left on metal parts after corrosion protection or machining with coolants can give rise to irritating or harmful aerosols when the film evaporates or is pyrolysed during welding. To keep oil aerosols within the threshold limit value of 5mg/m3, it is recommended that oily metal parts should be cleaned before welding. Effective ventilation and a separate cooling area for hot welded structures should also be provided.
