Electrode Tip Diameter Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Electrode Diameter = 2.54+(Thickness of First Material+Thickness of Second Material)
d = 2.54+(t₁+t₂)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Electrode Diameter - (Measured in Millimeter) - Electrode Diameter is the diameter of the tip of the electrode.
Thickness of First Material - (Measured in Millimeter) - The Thickness of First Material is that dimension which is the smallest of all dimension.
Thickness of Second Material - (Measured in Millimeter) - 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 --> 1.6 Millimeter No Conversion Required
Thickness of Second Material: 2.4 Millimeter --> 2.4 Millimeter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d = 2.54+(t₁+t₂) --> 2.54+(1.6+2.4)

Evaluating ... ...

d = 6.54

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.00654 Meter -->6.54 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

6.54 Millimeter <-- Electrode Diameter

Why do we need to maintain Tip diameter constant?

In spot welding, a satisfactory weld is obtained when a proper current density is maintained. The current density depends on the contact area between the electrode and the work piece. With continuous use, if the tip becomes upset and the contact area increases, the current density will be lowered and consequently the weld is obtained over a large area.
This would not be able to melt the metal and hence there would be no proper fusion.

How to Calculate Electrode Tip Diameter?
