Force Of Welding. Welding produces a solid connection between two pieces called a weld joint. For our example we will use the same numbers we used on our previous post for.
Arc Welding Electrode A component of the welding circuit through which current is conducted and that terminates at the arc. FORCE Technology may assist at selection of welding processes for new and ongoing tasks as well as review of the processes as regards optimisation and increased productivity if requested. It is common to express the results of weld force calculations in terms of the force per unit length of weld.
Stress developed in the weld is equal to the value of the weld metal.
The electrode force required for spot welding low carbon steel is typically 15 to 2 kN per mm of its sheet thickness and is slightly higher for coated steels. Choice and optimisation of welding processes. Arc Welding A group of welding processes that produces coalescence of workpieces by heating them with an arc. Gravity is a detaching force when the electrode is pointed downwards as in down-hand welding and a retaining force when it is pointed upwards as in overhead welding.
