Two flat plates Made of 1040 steel are arc welded using Electrodes Which Are also composed of 1040 steel. The plates are welded along their width on both the top and bottom of the plates Welding conditions are: speed equals 6 inches per minute, arc current equals 50 amps, arc voltage equals 24 volts., blade thickness equals 0.5 inches, plate width equals 5 inches, and cooling rate in the weld zone is equivalent to an OQ. What is the maximum exile load that the plate can support? In general, what is the heat Affected zone In a weldment.? Is it possible for the HAZ And a steel weldment to be stronger than the original plate material? Explain your answer. Is it possible for the HAZ in a steel weldment to be weaker than the material in the original plate material? Explain your
