Welding is a common method to join separate parts of metal together. Briefly describe the
conditions that are required for materials used in Welding.
Through illustrations explain the process of TIG Welding.
A resistance spot-welding operation is
performed on two pieces of 1.5 mm thick
sheet steel using 12000 amps current for a
duration of 0.20 second. The electrodes are
6 mm in diameter at the contacting surfaces.
Resistance is assumed to be 0.0001 ohms
and the resulting weld nugget is 6 mm in
diameter and 2.5 mm thick. The unit melting
energy for the metal is 12 Jmm³. What portion
of heat generated was used to form the weld?
