High speed steel tools retain their hardness up to a temperature of
A. 250°C
B. 350°C

D. 900°C
Weld per min = (frequency × 60)/ (cycles for weld + interval cycles)
= (50 × 60)/ (3 + 2) = 600 welds/ min.
Work speed (mm / min) = (welds/ min) / weld required per mm
= 600 / (4/10) = 1500 mm/min.
can you solve this calculation?
