Question: 2 8 . 5 R ( USCS units ) An axle - bearing surface made of high carbon steel has worn beyond its useful life.

28.5R (USCS units) An axle-bearing surface made of high carbon steel has worn beyond its useful life. When it was new, the diameter was 4.00 in . The length of the bearing surface is 7.0 in . In order to restore it, the diameter is turned to 3.90 in to provide a uniform surface. Next the axle is built up so that it is oversized by the deposition of a surface weld bead, which is deposited by rotating the axle at 3.0revmin on the lathe and feeding the welding head along the surface as in a turning operation. The weld metal deposited is a similar composition to the steel in the axle. The weld bead height is 332 in above the original surface. In addition, the weld bead penetrates 116 in into the surface of the axle. The width of the weld bead is 0.25 in ; thus, the feed on the lathe was set to 0.25inrev. After the surface weld is applied, the axle is turned again to achieve the original diameter of 4.00 in . Assuming the heat transfer factor was 0.80 and the melting factor was 0.65, determine (a) the relative velocity between the workpiece and the welding head, (b) the rate of heat generated at the welding source, and (c) how long it took to complete the welding portion of this operation.
