The alloy used for welding should be similar in strength to the bulk material being welded. Otherwise there will be stress concentration at the junction between the two alloys. This problem is somewhat reduced when the metals mix during welding, if the weld point moves slowly enough.
Mild steel, not copper.
Any metal with a good conductivity can be used; normally thin copper or mild steel that is tin plated is used the later is less expensive.
steel is the alloy of iron and carbon , so mild steel is an ferrous alloy
Iron is the pure element, mild steel, or any steel is iron with a little bit of carbon added. The iron becomes mild steel, steel or any other type of steel depending on how much carbon is added to the iron.
Steel has a moderate thermal conductivity compared to other metals. It conducts heat better than materials like wood or plastic, but not as well as materials like copper or aluminum.
aluminum has a lower melting point, higher thermal conductivity, and doesn't change color before it goes molten
heated up to kindling temperature of the mild steel
Mild steel is harder than copper as it has a higher hardness level on the Mohs scale. Mild steel is commonly used in construction and manufacturing due to its durability and strength, while copper is known for its excellent electrical conductivity and malleability.
if by dry earth you mean dirt and soil then the answer is that mild steel is 100% more conductive then dry earth considering dirt doesnt conduct eletricity
A figure of merit for copper is 231A figure of merit for stainless steel is 8.1A figure of merit for steel (mild) is 32A figure of merit for aluminum is 136.The units are BTU / H * ft * Degrees F.For a given length of time copper will conduct almost twice as much heat as aluminum and 28 times as much as stainless steel (but only about 7 times as much as regular steel). This is why there are copper bottomed stainless steel pots.From the definition of thermal conductivity: for 1 Ft cube of copper it would take 231 BTU per hour to maintain a 1 degree (Fahrenheit) temperature difference across the the length of the cube. This compares to 0.04 BTU for a 1 ft. cube of fiberglass insulation.
mild steel is heavier
The alloy used for welding should be similar in strength to the bulk material being welded. Otherwise there will be stress concentration at the junction between the two alloys. This problem is somewhat reduced when the metals mix during welding, if the weld point moves slowly enough.
Mild steel
Mild steel, not copper.
No, mild steel is low carbon steel with no other alloys.
Any metal with a good conductivity can be used; normally thin copper or mild steel that is tin plated is used the later is less expensive.
