Two different pairs of sheets of same material are welded by resistance-spot welding. In one pair, the average radius $$(r)$$ of each spherical bridge is $$0.2$$ $$mm$$ and the number of bridges per $$c{m^2}\,\,\left( n \right)$$ is $$25.$$ In another pair, the number of bridges per $$c{m^2}$$ is $$50$$ with the same $$'r'$$ of bridge. The contact resistance $${R_c}$$ per unit area is given by $${R_c} = 0.85$$ $$\left( {\rho /n\pi r} \right)$$ where $$'\,\rho \,'$$ is the resistivity of metal. If the voltage applied is $$5$$ volts and the resistivity of metal is $$2 \times {10^{ - 5}}$$ ohm-cm. The rate of heat generated per $$c{m^2}$$ in each case

In butt welding operation on plates, the heat input necessary is given by GATE ME 1999 Production Engineering - Welding Process Question 3 English

$$Q = 8\,K\,{T_c}\,t\,\,\,\left[ {0.2 + {{Vb} \over {4\alpha }}} \right]$$
Where $$K=$$ thermal conductivity,
$${T_c} = $$ temp increases from room temp up to $$MP,$$
$$t=$$ thickness of plate,
$$V=$$ welding speed,
$$b=$$ width of weld,
$$\alpha = thermal diffusivity

Two alloy steel plates as shown in fig are to be welded using a power source rated at $$5$$ $$kVA$$ having a duty cycle of $$75\% .$$ Using the given data, determine the maximum welding speed for the job given in $$mm/s$$

Data : $$K = 45\,W/{m^0}C,\,\,{T_c} = {1450^ \circ }C,$$ and
