[The carcinogenic risk factor in the job of a steel welder]
Abstract:
The paper presents results of evaluation of carcinogenic risk in welders with due emphasis to sensibilization to organ-specific tumorous antigen of the lung determined by a test for electrophoretic mobility of indicator cells. Relationship was found between frequency and markedness of sensibilization and blood serum content of iron. It is suggested that carcinogenic risk in the occupation of the welder might be associated with both exposure to chromium, nickel, asbestos endowed with blastomogenic properties, and an increase accumulation of iron in the organism.

Steel Fastening Techniques
Rivets are cylindrical steel fasteners with a specially designed head. During application, rivets are heated until white-hot and then inserted through pre-drilled holes in the steel sections. A pneumatic hammer is used to shape the exposed end into a second head, securing the sections together.
