Hi need to calculate solve this question but I could not get the proper way to solve this..
Can anyone suggest some ways to salve these
The ability of the heat source to melt the base metal is an important consideration in fusion welding.
Melting efficiency (as distinct from energy transfer efficiency, h) is defined as follows:
|
Heat needed to melt weld metal
Total heat input |
Use the data in Table to calculate the energy need to melt 1 mm3 of carbon steel (starting at 20 °C).
Hence find the minimum power needed to generate a bead on plate weld of 15 mm2 cross sectional area in carbon steel at a welding speed of 4 mm/s.
For this weld, the actual power input was 2 kW. Calculate the melting efficiency.
