During a steady gas metal arc welding with direct current electrode positive polarity, the welding current, voltage and weld speed are $$150A,$$ $$30V$$ and $$6m/min$$ respectively. A metallic wire electrode of diameter $$1.2mm$$ is being fed at a constant rate of $$12m/min.$$ The density, specific heat and melting temp of the wire electrode are $$7000$$ $$kg/{m^3},$$ $$500$$ $$J/kg$$ and $${1530^ \circ }C$$ respectively. Assume the ambient temp to be $${30^ \circ }C$$ and neglect the latent heat of melting. Further consider that $$2/{3^{rd}}$$ of the total electrical power is available for melting of the wire electrode. The melting efficiency (in percentage) of the wire electrode is

For a $$3$$-axes $$CNC$$ table, the slide along the vertical axis of the table driven by a $$DC$$ servo motor via lead screw nut mechanism. The lead screw has a pitch of $$5mm.$$ This lead screw is fitted with a relative (incremental) circular encoder. The basic length unit $$(BLU)$$ of the slide along the vertical axis of the table is $$0.005mm.$$ When the table moves along the vertical axis by $$9mm.$$ The corresponding number of pulses generated by the encounter is

Which of the following powder production methods produces spongy and porous particles?

During turning of a low carbon steel bar with TiN coated carbide insert, one needs to improve surface finish without sacrificing material removal rate. To achieve improved surface finish one should
