What items make up a basic semiautomatic welding system?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The items that make up a basic semi-automatic welding system.
Answer to Problem 1R
The equipments of semi-automatic GMA welding are power source, shielding gas supply, switch circuit, welding gun, conduit, electrode feeder, Electrode supply, power cables, shielding gas regular and shielding gas hose.
Explanation of Solution
The basic semi-automatic GMA welding installation consist the elements which are listed below:
- Power source:
A power source is required to maintain the equipment to work without any interruptions and indulgence of welder.
- Shielding gas supply:
Shielding gas supply is must to prevent the weld from oxidation.
- Shielding gas flow meter regulator:
For a semi-automatic welding machine the flow meter should be required to adjust the amount of shielding gas required for the weld.
- Shielding gas hose:
It is a basic component required to transfer the shielding gas form the cylinder to the welding gun.
- Switch circuit:
It is a circuit that contains the control of current, voltage and the travel speed of the electrode gun.
- Welding gun:
The welding gun is the basic component required to hold the electrode in a position during the welding process.
- Conduit and welding control:
Conduit is required to protect the electrode from the damage and deformation through the feeding of electrode from feeder to Gun.
- Electrode feeding unit:
Electrode should be fed with an uniform rate for better weld quality thus, an electrode feeder is required to provide the electrode by a constant rate to the weld.
- Power cables and work cables:
Power cables are required for the power supply to the machine as the current flowing through the electrode is of high amperage it requires a high current wire cables which can sustain the current of high magnitude.
Conclusion:
Thus, the equipments of semi-automatic GMA welding are power source, shielding gas supply, switch circuit, welding gun, conduit, electrode feeder, Electrode supply, power cables, shielding gas regular and shielding gas hose.

6/86 The connecting rod AB of a certain internal-combustion engine weighs 1.2 lb with mass center at G
and has a radius of gyration about G of 1.12 in. The piston and piston pin A together weigh 1.80 lb. The
engine is running at a constant speed of 3000 rev/min, so that the angular velocity of the crank is
3000(2)/60 = 100л rad/sec. Neglect the weights of the components and the force exerted by the gas in
the cylinder compared with the dynamic forces generated and calculate the magnitude of the force on the
piston pin A for the crank angle 0 = 90°. (Suggestion: Use the alternative moment relation, Eq. 6/3, with B
as the moment center.)

PROBLEM 6/86
6/85 In a study of head injury against the instrument panel of a car during sudden or crash stops where
lap belts without shoulder straps or airbags are used, the segmented human model shown in the figure is
analyzed. The hip joint O is assumed to remain fixed relative to the car, and the torso above the hip is
treated as a rigid body of mass m freely pivoted at O. The center of mass of the torso is at G with the initial
position of OG taken as vertical. The radius of gyration of the torso about O is ko. If the car is brought to a
sudden stop with a constant deceleration a, determine the speed v relative to the car with which the
model's head strikes the instrument panel. Substitute the values m = 50 kg, 7 = 450 mm, r = 800 mm, ko
= 550 mm, 0 = 45°, and a = 10g and compute v.
Answer
v = 11.73 m/s

- Hot water is flowing at an average velocity of 5.82 ft/s through a cast iron pipe (k=30 Btu/h-ft-°F) whose inner and outer diameters are 1.0 in and 1.2 in, respectively. The pipe passes through a 50-ft-long section of a basement whose temperature is 60°F. The emissivity of the outer surface of the pipe is 0.5, and the walls of the basement are also at about 60°F. If the inlet temperature of the water is 150°F and the heat transfer coefficient on the inner surface of the pipe is 30 Btu/h-ft².°F, determine the temperature drop of water as it passes through the basement.
