In welding process, penetration is increased by

High alloy steel components are preheated before welding for reducing

A resistance welder is rated at $$50$$ $$kVA,$$ at $$50\% $$ duty cycle. Secondary voltage is always constant at $$25$$ volts. If a job requires $$1500$$Amps current, determine the maximum welding time in a total cycle time of $$30$$$$secs$$.

In spot welding of aluminium sheets, the welding current should be .........A........ and weld time should be kept ............B......... than for $$MS$$ sheet of same thickness.

(A). higher / lower, (B). higher / lower
