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

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

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

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
