Heat Balance • Lesson Objectives • When you finish this lesson you will understand: • Factors Effecting Heat Balance • Solve Heat Balance Problems • Learning Activities • View Slides; • Read Notes, • Listen to lecture • Do on-line workbook Keywords: Heat Generation, Heat Conductions, Electrode Geometry, Resistivity, Thermal Conductivity
Factors Affecting Heat Balance • Relative electrical and thermal conductivities of the metals to be jointed • Relative geometry of the parts at the joint • Thermal and electrical conductivities of the electrodes • Geometry of the electrodes
Heat Balance in Projection Welds Factors affecting uniform distribution of heat are : • Projection design and location. • Thickness of the section. • Thermal and electrical conductivities. • Heating rate. • Electrode alloy.
Temperature Distribution Temperature distribution at various location during projection welding. At the end of welding time Electrode After 20% welding time Workpiece Electrode Temperature
