Consumption of Welding Rod

Guest,

Your question sounds like homework. Lynlynch has given you a direct answer. You can calculate the volume of a weld from its dimensions and the approximate shape. You can then calculate the volume in a typical rod of a specific diameter. You then estimate the percent that actually gets deposited in the weld (such as 80%) along with your reasons for this percent. From these three numbers, your consumption is easy to do.

You can also do a practical real time weld with appropriate settings and tabulate your results,tho if this is homework you will have to do it by calculations as suggested.
