The heat input in the arc welding is described by the equation shown in picture. The important point is the involvement of efficiency in the equation. This shows that not all the available energy is beneficially used to melt material, because heat is conducted through the workpiece, some lost by radRead more
The heat input in the arc welding is described by the equation shown in picture. The important point is the involvement of efficiency in the equation. This shows that not all the available energy is beneficially used to melt material, because heat is conducted through the workpiece, some lost by radiation, some by convection to surrounding.
The solution is as shown.
See lessCorrect answer is in the range of 955-965 J/mm. @Rohit.km described it best. Thank you. Some peripheral lines related to this topic: Hinput = ηVI/speed
Correct answer is in the range of 955-965 J/mm. Rohit jha.km described it best. Thank you.
Some peripheral lines related to this topic:
- Hinput = ηVI/speed
See lessEfficiency = (0.6×20*400)/5 = 960 J/mm
Efficiency = (0.6×20*400)/5 = 960 J/mm
See lessHeat input per unit length = n*v*i/speed= (0.6*20*400) /5 = 960j/mm
Heat input per unit length = n*v*i/speed= (0.6*20*400) /5 = 960j/mm
