vertical or an upside down position, or for all types of position? Explain with appropriate
example.
14 Two flat copper sheets of 1.2 mm thickness each are spot welded. The process parameter are
current : 5000 amp. Current flow time : 0.20 sec Dia. Of electrode: 6 mm
Estimate the heat generated in welding zone.
15 Explain the factor affected in selection of electrode in arc welding .
16 A steel tube of 76mm outer dia. And 4mm thickness is welded to a flat piece by applying
friction welding process with the following information.

c= proportionally constant =250, weld zone =5 mm deep and energy required to melt the
electrode= 0.14 kg-m. If the entire energy of the flywheel is used to heat the electrode, what is
the required moment of inertia of the flywheel?
