What is the smoke called that appears to rise from the site of a weld as the weld is performed?
Answer Fume Plume
A fume plume is the name of the chemical that rises as a weld is performed. It is a mixture of chemicals, and the welders should take every precaution necessary to avoid inhaling this. It is not only filled with a chemical smell but tiny metallic particles that can be inhaled and settle in the lungs. Always wear the proper protective gear.
