Electrode force Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Force = 876*(Thickness of First Material+Thickness of Second Material)
f = 876*(t₁+t₂)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Force - (Measured in Newton) - Force on Fluid Element is the sum of pressure and shear forces acting on it within a fluid system.
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

f = 876*(t₁+t₂) --> 876*(0.0016+0.0024)

Evaluating ... ...

f = 3.504

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.504 Newton --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.504 Newton <-- Force

(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

What is the need to apply pressure to electrode?

The pressure is applied to ensure that during the solidification, the nugget does not develop any porosity or crack. Porosity in spot welds may also develop if the forging pressure is released prematurely. The welding pressure used depends on the thickness of the metal and the geometry of the weld. It is generally preferable to have the pressure increased by two to three times during solidification phase, compared to that during the melting.

How to Calculate Electrode force?

Electrode force calculator uses Force = 876*(Thickness of First Material+Thickness of Second Material) to calculate the Force, The Electrode force is applied to the work piece by electrode to ensure that during the solidification, the nugget does not develop any porosity or crack. Force is denoted by f symbol.

Here is how the Electrode force calculation can be explained with given input values -> 3.504 = 876*(0.0016+0.0024).

FAQ

What is Electrode force?

The Electrode force is applied to the work piece by electrode to ensure that during the solidification, the nugget does not develop any porosity or crack and is represented as f = 876*(t₁+t₂) or Force = 876*(Thickness of First Material+Thickness of Second Material). The Thickness of First Material is that dimension which is the smallest of all dimension & The Thickness of Second Material is the minimum dimension given of the second material.

How to calculate Electrode force?

The Electrode force is applied to the work piece by electrode to ensure that during the solidification, the nugget does not develop any porosity or crack is calculated using Force = 876*(Thickness of First Material+Thickness of Second Material). To calculate Electrode force, you need Thickness of First Material (t₁) & Thickness of Second Material (t₂). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Thickness of First Material & Thickness of Second Material and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
