List some factors that have led to the increased use of FCA welding.

Expert Solution & Answer

To determine

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.

5. Determine the transfer function of G(s) = 01(s)/T₁(s) and 02(s)/T₁ for the mechanical system shown in Figure Q5. (Hints: assume zero initial condition) T₁(t) 01(t) 102(1) Ол N1 D1 D2 No. 1790220000 N2 Figure Q5 K2
A spring package with two springs and an external force, 200N. The short spring has a loin of 35 mm. Constantly looking for spring for short spring so that total compression is 35 mm (d). Known values: Long spring:                        Short spring:C=3.98 N/mm                    Lo=65mmLo=87.4mmF=c·fTotal compression is same for both spring.                             200 = (3.98(c1) × 35) + (c₂ × 35) 200 = 139.3 + 35c₂ 200 - 139.3 = 35c₂ 60.7 = 35c₂ c₂ = 60.7/35 Short spring (c₂) = 1.73 N/mm According to my study book, the correct answer is 4.82N/mm What is wrong with the calculating?
What is the reason for this composition?
