A gas metal arc welding test is performed to determine the value of melting factor f₂ for a certain metal and operation. The welding voltage = 25 volts, current = 125 amps, and heat transfer factor is assumed to be = 0.90, a typical value for GMAW. The rate at which the filler metal is added to the weld is 0.50 in³ per minute, and measurements indicate that the final weld bead consists of 57% filler metal and 43% base metal. The unit melting energy for the metal is known to be 75 Btu/in³. (a) Find the melting factor. (b) What is the travel speed if the cross-sectional area of the weld bead = 0.05 in²?
