In a controlled experiment, it takes 3700 J to melt the amount of metal that is in a weld bead with a cross-sectional area of 6.0 mm2 that is 150.0 mm long.
(a) Using Table 29.2, what is the most likely metal?
(b) If the heat transfer factor is 0.85 and the melting factor is 0.55 for a welding process, how much heat must be generated at the welding source to accomplish the weld?
