A GTAW operation is performed on low carbon steel, whose unit melting energy is 10.3 J/mm3. The welding voltage is 22 volts and the current is 135 amps. The heat transfer factor is 0.7 and the melting factor is 0.65. If filler metal wire of 3.5 mm diameter is added to the operation, the final weld bead is composed of 60% volume of filler and 40% volume base metal. If the travel speed in the operation is 5 mm/sec, determine (a) cross-sectional area of the weld bead, and (b) the feed rate (mm/sec) at which the filler wire must be supplied.
A welding operation is time-studied during which an operator was pace-rated as 120%. The operator took, on an average, 8 minutes for producing the weld-joint. If a total of 10% allowances are allowed for this operation. What is the expected standard production rate of the weld-joint in units per 8 hour day?
