Welding helmets are meant to protect the face, neck, forehead and ears from the direct arc radiant energy and splatter originating from the weld. Helmets are available in auto darkening shades that ensure precision electrode placement. Some helmets are provided with filter plates that protect welders from arc rays, spatters and weld sparks that strike directly against the helmet.
