A U-groove weld is used to butt weld 2 pieces of 7.0-mm-thick titanium plate. The U-groove is prepared using a milling cutter so the radius of the groove is 3.0 mm. During welding, the penetration of the weld causes an additional 1.5 mm of material to be melted.

Question
  1. A U-groove weld is used to butt weld 2 pieces of 7.0-mm-thick titanium plate. The U-groove is prepared using a milling cutter so the radius of the groove is 3.0 mm. During welding, the penetration of the weld causes an additional 1.5 mm of material to be melted. The final cross-sectional area of the weld can be approximated by a semicircle with a radius of 4.5 mm. The length of the weld is 200 mm. The melting factor of the setup is 0.57 and the heat transfer factor is 0.86. (a) What is the quantity of heat (in Joules) required to melt the volume of metal in this weld (filler metal plus base metal)? Assume the resulting top surface of the weld bead is flush with the top surface of the plates. (b) What is the required heat generated at the welding source?
