  1. Spot welding of two 1 mm thick sheets of steel (density = 8000 kg/m³) is carried out successfully by passing a certain amount of current for 0.1 second through the electrodes. The resultant weld nugget formed is 5 mm in diameter and 1.5 mm thick. If the latent heat of fusion of steel is 1400 kJ/kg and the effective resistance in the welding operation is 200 μ-ohms, the current passing through the electrodes is approximately

    ρ = 8000 kJ/m³
    t = 0.1 sec dn = 5 mm
    hn = 1.5 mm
    LH = 1400 kJ/kg R = 200 µΩ
    I =?
    mass = 8000 × 10-9 × (π/4) 5² × 1.5
    = 2.356 × 10-4kg.
    Heat = 1400 × 8000 × 2.356 × 10-4
    = 329.8 Joules
    Heat = I² × 200 × 10-6 × 0.1
    I = 4060 Amp.

    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

    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

    Dia of Die = 35 mm
    Dia of Punch = 35 – 2 × 0.04 = 34.92mm

    Correct Option: B

    Dia of Die = 35 mm
    Dia of Punch = 35 – 2 × 0.04 = 34.92mm
