Welding is a common method to join separate parts of metal together. Briefly describe the
conditions that are required for materials used in Welding.
QUESTION 1
In an arc welding operation, a groove weld has a cross-sectional area=0.055 in² and is 24 in long. (Round your final answers to 1 decimal place)
(a) What quantity of heat (in Btu) is required to accomplish the weld, if the metal to be welded is aluminum?
Btu
(b) How much heat must be generated at the welding source, if the heat transfer factor = 90% and the melting factor = 60%?
H=
Btu
In one type of welding, electric charge flows between the welding tool and the metal pieces that are to be joined. This produces a glowing arc whose high temperature fuses the pieces together. Why must the tool be held close to the metal pieces? (i) To maximize the potential difference between tool and pieces; (ii) to minimize this potential difference; (iii) to maximize the electric field between tool and pieces; (iv) to minimize this electric field; (v) more than one of these.
