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)
Which one of the following welding methods provides the highest heat flux $(W/mm^2)$? Oxy-acetylene gas welding Tungsten inert gas welding Plasma arc welding Laser beam welding
In a DC arc welding operation, the voltage-arc length characteristic was obtained as $V_{arc} = 20+5l$ where the arc length $l$ was varied between $5$ mm and $7$ mm. Here $V_{arc}$ denotes the arc voltage in $Volts$. The arc current was varied from $400$ A and $500$ A. Assuming linear ... current for the welding operation are $45$ V, $450$ A $75$ V, $750$ A $95$ V, $950$ A $150$ V, $1500$ A

Under optimal conditions of the process the temperatures experienced by a copper work piece in fusion welding, brazing and soldering are such that $T_{\text{welding}} > T_{\text{soldering}}> T_{\text{brazing}}$ $T_{\text{soldering}} > T_{\text{welding}} > T_{\text{brazing}}$ ... $T_{\text{welding}} > T_{\text{brazing}} > T_{\text{soldering}}$
Which two of the following joining processes are autogeneous? Diffusion welding Electroslag welding Tungsten inert gas welding Friction welding (i) and (iv) (ii) and (iii) (ii) and (iv) (i) and (iii)
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 $40.00$ $44.72$ $55.90$ $62.25$
