Two $$8$$ $$mm$$ thick steel plates are placed $$5$$ $$mm$$ apart and welded by a butt joint. Welding is carried out at $$20$$ $$V$$ and speed of $$5$$ $$mm/sec.$$ Heat transfer efficiency is $$0.80.$$ If the heat required to melt steel is $$10$$ $$J/m{m^3}$$ and melting efficiency is $$0.625.$$ The weld current (in Amperes) will be

In a fabrication shop, a $$T$$-joint is to be made between two plates using a chain intermittent, double fillet weld of $$6$$ $$mm$$ leg length. The intermittent welds are $$40$$ $$mm$$ long and spaced $$80$$ $$mm$$ apart, edge to edge.

The welding symbol of the joint is

Consider the following statements:

The size of the heat affected zone (HAZ) will increase with
$$1.$$ increased starting temperature
$$2.$$ increased welding speed
$$3.$$ increased thermal conductivity of the base metal
$$4.$$ increase in base metal thickness
