Q.4) A resistance spot welding operation is performed on two pieces of 1.5 mm thick sheet steel using 12000 A for a 0.2 sec duration.. The electrodes are 7 mm in diameter at the contacting surfaces, resistance is assumed to be 0.0001 ohm, and the resulting weld nugget is a sphere of a 6 mm in diameter. The unit melting energy for the metal U=12.0Jmm3. What portion of the heat generated was used to form the weld nugget and what portion was dissipated in to the work metal, electrodes and surrounding air.
