Answer» CORRECT answer is (d) 7MM, 8.6mm Explanation: a) Using SHIELDED metal arc welding PROCESS, effective throat thickness = 0.7a = 0.7×10 = 7mm b) Using submerged arc welding (we get BETTER penetration than shielded metal arc welding): a = 10+2.4 = 12.4mm effective throat thickness = 0.7a = 0.7×12.4 = 8.6mm. |
