gents,
 
how to calculate the heat input in KJ/mm if i have got the folowing parameters?
 
Amperage=71
Voltage=9.5
Travel speed=3.2 inch/minute
can you please put these in the formula?
 
thanks.

You can calculate by using following formula:-

 

Heat Input = (V*I*60)/(Travel Speed in mm) this will come in J for KJ please further devide it with 1000.

 

For the below value the Heat Input shall be

0.50 KJ.

 

With kind regards,

what is 60 (V*I*60) in this formula?

Dear All

i notice that there is an important piece of formula is missing. the heat input formula given by Firman shall be multiplied by efficiency which is depending on its welding process. GMAW & SAW having efficiency 0.9, GTAW=0.8, SMAW=0,75

Correct me when I’m wrong but this efficiency factor is not mentioned in any original calculation formula and specifications such as ASME section IX and/or EN ISO 15609/15614 therefore in my opinion cannot taken into account for official calculation of Heat Input.

Hi
 
The arc efficiency as mentioned below is used for the actual heat input calculation.
 
The stds/Codes works on the theoretical HI , which is more than the actual HI, so no need to worry about the arc efficiency factor.
 
Infact the those values are only the approximate values , if you want actual arc efficiency values you have to go for an calorimeter set up to find out the actual one
 
Thanks & Regards,
 
K. Babu

Hi,

What i should consider, that heat input is v*I*n*60/TS, TS is travel speed so it will give me Kj/mm but how i can convert it to temperature ....
Additionally now i can convert it into temperature than it will give me input heat but what about actual heat inut which may very metal by metal so how i can calculate that .

Thank you

Basic Physics
you can not convert Energy into Temperature.
Just like you cannot convert dogs to potatos

Below is a link to a calculator that will calculate Kj to C.

Hope this helps

Celcius Heat Unit is an other unit for energy and not for temperature.

It is quire complicate to calculate an approximation of the temperature profile developed during welding.
Many variables are involved like the heat sink which depends of the weld dimensions and configuration and of the conductivity of the metal which varies with the temperature, the heat transfer by radiation (not to forget that  the emissivity of the metal surface varies with the temperature) etc
F.E modeling should be used but with caution
