A gas tungsten arc welding operation is performed using a current of $250 \: A$ and an arc voltage of $20 \: V$ at a welding speed of $5 \: mm/s$. Assuming that the arc efficiency is $70 \%$, the net heat input per unit length of the weld will be _________$kJ/mm$ (round off to one decimal place)
During a TIG welding process, the arc current and arc voltage were $50$ $A$ and $60$ $V$, respectively, when the welding speed was $150$ $mm/min$. In another process, the TIG welding is carried out at a welding speed of $120$ $mm/min$ at the same arc voltage and heat input ... so that weld quality remains the same. The welding current (in $A$) for this process is $40.00$ $44.72$ $55.90$ $62.25$
The solidification time of a casting is proportional to $\left( \dfrac{V}{A} \right )^2$, where $V$ is the volume of the casting and $A$ is the total casting surface area losing heat. Two cubes of same material and size are cast using sand casting process. The top face of one of the cubes ... face insulated to that of the other cube is $\dfrac{25}{36} \\$ $\dfrac{36}{25} \\$ $1 \\$ $\dfrac{6}{5}$
