The strength in the weld zone of an age-hardening aluminium alloy is often higher than in the heat affect zone (HAZ). Which of the following is NOT a reason for this? O The maximum temperature is higher in the weld pushing more of the hardening phase into solution. O Particles that don't dissolve might transform into equilibrium phases instead. This is more likely in the HAZ. O The greater dissolution of particles in the weld leads to greater solid solution strengthening. O The increase in solute in the matrix allows more subsequent natural aging to occur in the weld zone. O Particles in the HAZ tend to dissolve, while those in the weld coarsen. The increase in particle size and spacing reduces the strength of HAZ.

The welding parameters to be used to butt weld a metal alloy are being evaluated. In order to set up the welding machine, the melting factor for the metal (f2) has to be determined. The welding machine can deliver 4000 watts of power and the heat transfer factor for the welding process (f1) is 0.9. The final weld bead consists of 8 0% filler metal and 40% parent metal. The melting temperature of the filler metal and the parent metal is the same 2540 deg F. The cross-sectional area of the weld bead is 0.5 sq inches. The rate at which filler metal is added to the weld is 1 cu inch per min. Conversion factor 1 Btu = 1055 J and 0 deg F = 460 deg R Calculate the melting factor.

What is staircase effect? A welding operation on an aluminum alloy makes a groove weld.The cross-sectional area of the weld is 30.0 mm2. The welding velocity is 4.0 mm/sec. Theheat transfer factor is [0.92+{AAA/(20+YY)}] and the melting factor is [0.48+{AAA/(20+YY)}], where AAA are the last three digits and YY are the first two digits of yourstudent ID. The melting temperature of the aluminum alloy is 667°C. Determine the rate ofheat generation required at the welding source.
