Explanation of Solution

The advantage and disadvantage of welding compared to other types of assembly operations are listed below,

Advantages:

  • Welding makes a permanent joint of materials in a single entity.
  • Welding becomes stronger when proper techniques and right filler materials are used.
  • Welding is the most economical way of joining complex shapes compared to other methods and the fabrications cost is less.
  • The process is versatile in nature.

Disadvantages:

  • As welding process is done manually, it requires high labor cost and also the process needs skilled labors.
  • Process is dangerous due to usage of high energy.
  • Difficult to disassemble as the welding joints are stronger.
  • It can suffer from certain quality defects that are difficult to detect.

+1. 0,63 fin r= 0.051 P The stepped rod in sketch is subjected to a tensile force that varies between 4000 and 7000 lb. The rod has a machined surface finish everywhere except the shoulder area, where a grinding operation has been performed to improve the fatigue resistance of the rod. Using a 99% probability of survival, determine the safety factor for infinite life if the rod is made of AISI 1080 steel, quenched and tempered at 800°c Use the Goodman line.
