Current required to sustain welding Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Electric Current = 3937*(Thickness of First Material+Thickness of Second Material)
i_p = 3937*(t₁+t₂)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Electric Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Electric Current is the rate of flow of charge through a cross sectional area per unit area.
Thickness of First Material - (Measured in Meter) - The Thickness of First Material is that dimension which is the smallest of all dimension.
Thickness of Second Material - (Measured in Meter) - The Thickness of Second Material is the minimum dimension given of the second material.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Thickness of First Material: 1.6 Millimeter --> 0.0016 Meter (Check conversion here)
Thickness of Second Material: 2.4 Millimeter --> 0.0024 Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

i_p = 3937*(t₁+t₂) --> 3937*(0.0016+0.0024)

Evaluating ... ...

i_p = 15.748

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

15.748 Ampere --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

15.748 Ampere <-- Electric Current

What are the spot welding parameters for mild steel?

Spot welding parameters for mild steel are Electrode tip diameter, Weld time, Current, Electrode force. Designing of spot weld parameters are essentially based on the sheet thicknesses being welded. The use of high welding current for short periods causes excessive heat generation in the weld area, which melts it.
