The power source in a particular welding setup generates 3119 watts that can be transferred to the work surface with a heat transfer factor of 0.65. The metal to be welded is low carbon steel. The melting factor in the operation is 0.4. A continuous fillet weld is to be made with a cross-sectional areas of 20 mm2. Determine the travel speed in mm/s at which the welding operation can be accomplished. Hint: See Table 28.2 for the melting temperature of low carbon steel.
