Why is usage of the term GWW preferable to MIG for gas metal arc welding?

Expert Solution & Answer

To determine

Reason of using the term GMAW over MIG for gas metal arc welding.

Answer to Problem 1R

GMAW is preferred over MIG for gas metal arc welding as other gases apart from argon are used in metal arc welding.

Explanation of Solution

The term MIG stands for Metal inert gas welding, an inert gas is used to protect the weld from impurity. Initially, Argon as an inert gas was used forshielding.

Later, after developments in the technology associated with welding, carbon dioxide CO2 and oxygen O2 are also used for shielding.

Argon was used for shielding the weld. It was termed as MIG welding and was named as Gas Metal Arc Welding (GMAW) by American Welding society because other gases can also be used for shielding.

9₁ A Insulated boundary Insulated boundary dx Let's begin with the strong form for a steady-state one-dimensional heat conduction problem, without convection. d dT + Q = dx dx According to Fourier's law of heat conduction, the heat flux q(x), is dT q(x)=-k dx. x Q is the internal heat source, which heat is generated per unit time per unit volume. q(x) and q(x + dx) are the heat flux conducted into the control volume at x and x + dx, respectively. k is thermal conductivity along the x direction, A is the cross-section area perpendicular to heat flux q(x). T is the temperature, and is the temperature gradient. dT dx 1. Derive the weak form using w(x) as the weight function. 2. Consider the following scenario: a 1D block is 3 m long (L = 3 m), with constant cross-section area A = 1 m². The left free surface of the block (x = 0) is maintained at a constant temperature of 200 °C, and the right surface (x = L = 3m) is insulated. Recall that Neumann boundary conditions are naturally satisfied…
