A welding heat source is capable of transferring 160 kJ/min to the surface of a metal part. The heated area is approximately circular, and the heat intensity decreases with increasing radius as follows: 50% of the power is transferred within a circle of diameter = 0.25 cm and 75% is transferred within a concentric circle of diameter = 0.625 cm. What are the power densities in (a) the 0.25 cm diameter inner circle and (b) the 0.625 cm diameter ring that lies around the inner circle? (c) Are these power densities sufficient for melting metal?
