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.

A double-effect forward-feed evaporator is required to give a product consisting of 30 per cent crystals and a mother liquor containing 40 per cent by mass of dissolved solids. Heat transfer coefficients are 2.8 and 1.7 kW/m² K in the first and second effects respectively. Dry saturated steam is supplied at 375 kN/m² and the condenser operates at 13.5 kN/ m². (a) What area of heating surface is required in each effect assuming the effects are identical, if the feed rate is 0.6 kg/s of liquor, containing 20 per cent by mass of dissolved solids, and the feed temperature is 313 K? (b) What is the pressure above the boiling liquid in the first effect? The specific heat capacity may be taken as constant at 4.18 kJ/kg K. and the effects of boiling-point rise and of hydrostatic head may be neglected.
Example(2): Double effect evaporator is used for concentrating a certain caustic soda solution 10000kg/hr from 9wt% to 47wt%. The feed at 30°C enters the first evaporator. Backward arrangement evaporators are used. steam is available at 167.7°C and the vapor space in the second effect is 14.6Kpa. The overall heat transfer coefficients of the two effects are 8380 and 6285kcal/ W.CH ork -conce -SOLFFF and-ans.. 112.1 а DiD 3 respectively and the specific heat capacity of all caustic soda solution 3.771 KJ/Kg. °C, determine the heat transfer area of each effect معدلة 5:48 م O
