6 Welding Numerical

1) The document provides data on voltage and current measurements for an arc welding machine at different arc lengths. 2) It asks to determine the open circuit voltage (OCV) and short circuit current (SSC) of the power source using this data and equations for a straight line. 3) It also provides equations relating heat generated during resistance welding to current, resistance, and time, and defines portions of the heat used for welding versus lost to the workpiece and surroundings.

WELDING NUMERICAL

NUMERICAL
Following data has been observed for a constant
voltage arc welding machine
If the arc length changes from 3mm to 4mm
Voltage changes from 24 to 32 V
Current changes from 200A to 150A

Find out the open circuit voltage(OCV) and


short circuit current (SSC) of the power source.

NUMERICAL
USING THE EQUATION OF STRAIGHT LINE

Y= mX + c (1)

Y= Voltage
m= slope = V/ I = 8/(-50) = -0.16
X= current
c = Open Circuit Voltage (Y-intercept)

NUMERICAL
Therefore eq 1 becomes

V = c 0.16 I (2)

Value of c could be found by putting the values of


V & I for any arc length (given)
Therefore c = 56V

Similarly Value of SSC could be calculated by


putting the value of V=0 , c= 56 in the eq (2)
SSC = 350A

Resistance Welding (RW)
The heat generated in resistance welding
H = I2R t (1)

Hw HL
Heat lost into the
Heat used to
work metal,
form weld
electrodes, and
Nugget
surrounding air
say 60%
say 40%
6
Resistance Welding (RW)
Therefore the heat generated in resistance welding which
is used to form the weld nugget can be expressed as
H = k I2R t (2)
H = the total heat generated in the work, J
I = electric current, A
t = time for which the electric current is passing through the
joint
R = the resistance of the joint, ohms
k= a constant to account for the heat losses from the welded
joint. (if k=0.6, that means 40% of the heat is lost into the
work metal, electrodes, and surrounding air. )

NUMERICAL- Q
A resistance spot-welding operation is performed on
two pieces of 1.5-mm-thick sheet steel using
12,000A for a 0.20 s duration. The electrodes are 7
mm in diameter at the contacting surfaces.
Resistance is assumed to be 0.0001 , and the
resulting weld nugget is a sphere of 6 mm in
diameter. The unit melting energy for the metal
U=12.0 J/ mm3. What portion of the heat
generated was used to form the weld nugget, and
what portion was dissipated into the work metal,
electrodes, and surrounding air?
8
NUMERICAL- Ans

The heat generated in the operation (H) eq 1

Volume of weld nugget = vol of sphere dia 6mm

Heat required to weld the nugget (HW ) = vol X U

Heat Lost (HL ) = (H ) - (HW )
