Materials Science and Manufacturing Engineering

Direction: A weld is made using MIG welding process with the following welding parameters:
Current: 200 A: Voltage: 25 V; Welding speed: 18 cm/min; Wire diameter: 1.2 mm; Wire feed rate: 4 m/min. Thermal efficiency of the process: 65%

  1. The heat input per unit length of the weld in kJ/cm is
    1. 0.18
    2. 0.28
    3. 10.83
    4. 16.66
Correct Option: C

Current = 200A
Voltage = 25 V
dw = 1.2 mm
Fr = 4 m/min
= 4000 mm/min
V = 18 cm/min
= 180 mm/min.
ηTh= 65%
Heat Input per unit length

=
V × I × η
=
200 × 25 × 0.65
= 10.833 kJ/cm
speed18/60
