Could someone please point me in the direction of a published paper which explains how Chrome 6 is formed and released from stainless steel during welding so that it is no longer part of an homogenous material.  Currently struggling to find a reliable source.

Hi Blue

Is this any help? Hexavalent chromium content in stainless steel welding fumes is dependent on the welding process and shield gas type - PubMed (nih.gov)

Key to finding the information you are looking for is probably not to call it Chromium 6 but either hexavalent or the roman number VI.

A PS

Possibly you should be considering other toxic metals such as manganese which is commonly used in stainless steel.

Google manganism or "Parkinson's Syndrome" - lots of litigation in the US.

Security Image 2CiA - very hush hush, a bit like the approach to some occupational health risks in the UK!
