Which pair among the following solid state welding processes uses heat from an external source
$$P$$- Diffusion welding
$$Q$$- Friction welding
$$R$$- Ultrasonic welding
$$S$$- Forge welding

The $$DC$$ power source for arc welding has the characteristic $$3V + 1 = 240,$$ where $$V=$$ Voltage and $${\rm I}\,\, = $$ current in amp. For maximum arc power at the electrode, voltage should be set at

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
