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
A gas metal arc welding test is performed to determine the value of melting factor f₂ for a
certain metal and operation. The welding voltage = 25 volts, current = 125 amps, and heat
transfer factor is assumed to be = 0.90, a typical value for GMAW. The rate at which the
filler metal is added to the weld is 0.50 in³ per minute, and measurements indicate that the
final weld bead consists of 57% filler metal and 43% base metal. The unit melting energy
for the metal is known to be 75 Btu/in³. (a) Find the melting factor. (b) What is the travel
speed if the cross-sectional area of the weld bead = 0.05 in²?
