In arc welding of a butt joint, the welding speed is to be selected such that highest cooling rate is achieved. Melting efficiency and heat transfer efficiency are $$0.5$$ and $$0.7$$, respectively. The area of the weld cross section is $$5$$ $$m{m^2}$$ and the unit energy required to melt the metal is $$10\,\,J/m{m^3},$$ if the welding power is $$2$$ $$kW,$$ the welding speed in $$mm/s$$ is closet to

Two metallic sheets, each of $$2.0$$ $$mm$$ thickness are welded in lap joint configuration by resistance spot welding at a welding current of $$10$$ $$KA$$ and welding time of $$10$$ milliseconds. A spherical fusion zone extending up to the full thickness of each sheet is formed. The properties of the metallic sheets are given below:
Ambient temp $$=293$$ $$K$$
Melting point temp $$=1793$$ $$K$$
Density $$ = 7000kg/{m^3}$$
Latent heat of fusion $$=300$$ $$kJ/kg$$
Specific heat $$=800$$ $$J/kgK$$
Ambient temp $$=293$$ $$K$$
Melting point temp $$=1793$$ $$K$$
Density $$ = 7000kg/{m^3}$$
Latent heat of fusion $$=300$$ $$kJ/kg$$
Specific heat $$=800$$ $$J/kgK$$
Assume:
(i) Contact resistance along sheet - sheet interface is $$500$$ micro-ohm and along
$$\,\,\,\,\,\,$$electrode-sheet interface is zero.:
(ii) No conductive heat loss through the bulk sheet material; and
(iii) The complete weld fusion zone is at the melting temperature, the melting
