Welding Blankets

Printer-Friendly Page

Consider the following when choosing a welding blanket:

What type of welding will you be doing?
• Light Duty – general welding, light sparks and spatter
• Medium Duty – heavier welding applications, sparks and spatter

Is your welding application vertical or flat?
• Vertical application materials can be lighter weight and lower melt temperatures
• Flat application materials need to be heavier weight and higher melt temperatures

Which material stiffness and thickness is appropriate?
• Stiff materials are coated to allow spatter and slag to roll off easier. Softer
work well for wrapping objects for stress relief
• Thicker materials take longer to burn through

Does your application involve abrasion?
• If so, consider stiffer coated material
