A GTAW operation is performed on low carbon steel, whose unit melting energy is 10.3 J/mm3. The welding voltage is 22 volts and the current is 135 amps. The heat transfer factor is 0.7 and the melting factor is 0.65. If filler metal wire of 3.5 mm diameter is added to the operation, the final weld bead is composed of 60% volume of filler and 40% volume base metal. If the travel speed in the operation is 5 mm/sec, determine (a) cross-sectional area of the weld bead, and (b) the feed rate (mm/sec) at which the filler wire must be supplied.

An RSW operation is used to join two pieces of sheet steel having a unit melting energy of 8369.85 J/cm3. The sheet steel has a thickness of 0.3125 cm. The weld duration will be set at 0.25 sec with a current of 11,000 amp. Based on the electrode diameter, the weld nugget will have a diameter of 0.75 cm. Experience has shown that 40% of the supplied heat melts the nugget and the rest is dissipated by the metal. If the electrical resistance between the surfaces is 130 micro-ohms, what is the thickness of the weld nugget assuming it has a uniform thickness?
