Factors to increase use of FCA welding.

Explanation of Solution

FCA stands for flux cored arc welding. It consists of a consumable electrode. It is a semiautomatic or automatic arc welding. A flux coated consumable electrode is continuously feed with a constant voltage and constant current power supply. It has high welding speed and portability, less skilled welder is required.

Flux cored arc welding have led to used increased now a days. Following factors are considered for the increased use of FCA welding.

1) Diameter of the electrodes is less as compared to other welding process.

2) Equipments are more reliable than other welding processes.

3) Guns are better.

4) Electrode feed system is improved as it used continuous fed consumable tabular electrodes.

5) Better quality of flux is available.

The motor shown operates at constant speed and develops a torque of 100 lb-in during normal operation. Attached to the motor shaft is a gear reducer of ratio 5:1, that is, the reducer output shaft rotates in the same direction as the motor but at one-fifth motor speed. Rotation of the reducer housing is prevented by the "torque arm" pin-connected at each end as shown. The reducer output shaft drives the load through a flexible coupling. Neglecting gravity and friction, what loads are applied to (a) the torque arm, (b) the motor output shaft, and (c) the reducer output shaft? Motor Gear reducer Flexible coupling (To load) Torque arm- Torque arm Reducer output shaft Motor Reducer Shaft rotation
Please can you help with ten attatched question?
An AISI 1018 steel ball with 1.100-in diameter is used as a roller between a flat plate made from 2024 T3 aluminum and a flat table surface made from ASTM No. 30 gray cast iron. Determine the maximum amount of weight that can be stacked on the aluminum plate without exceeding a maximum shear stress of 19.00 kpsi in any of the three pieces. Assume the figure given below, which is based on a typical Poisson's ratio of 0.3, is applicable to estimate the depth at which the maximum shear stress occurs for these materials. 1.0 0.8 Ratio of stress to Pmax 0.4 90 0.6 στ Tmax 0.2 0.5a a 1.5a 2a 2.5a За Distance from contact surface The maximum amount of weight that can be stacked on the aluminum plate is lbf.
