HELP Needed on welding problem

03/07/2008 8:33 AM

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.

Sorry shivarajs, but I don't think you are an engineer asking your colleagues. According to the form the problem is written it seems like a classroom problem. You give the definition of melting efficiency and you have the actual power, so you need just to calculate the melting energy from the data included in the table, and as you have welding speed you can get energy from power.

If you don't know this very simple concepts, you may ask your teacher.

Cheers
