Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering

  1. Autogeneous gas tungsten arc welding of a steel plate is carried out with welding current of 500 A. Voltage of 20 V and weld speed of 20 mm/ min. Consider the heat transfer efficiency from the arc to the weld pool as 90%. The heat input per unit length (in kJ/mm) is
    1. 27
    2. 35
    3. 45
    4. 55
Correct Option: A

Current = 500 A
Voltage = 20 V
V = 20 mm/min
ηHT = 0.9

Heat Input/length = ηHT
V × I
=
0.9 × 20 × 500
N20/60

= 27 kJ/mm
