Dilution Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Dilution = Area of Penetration/(Area of Penetration+Area of Reinforcement)
D = AP/(AP+AOR)
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Dilution - Dilution is defined as the weight of the base metal melted divided by the total weight of the weld metal.
Area of Penetration - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Penetration is area of penetration of electrons.
Area of Reinforcement - (Measured in Square Meter) - Area of Reinforcement is an area of a weld that has weld metal added in excess of that specified by engineering drawings and codes.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Area of Penetration: 1.5 Square Meter --> 1.5 Square Meter No Conversion Required
Area of Reinforcement: 0.6 Square Meter --> 0.6 Square Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

D = AP/(AP+AOR) --> 1.5/(1.5+0.6)

Evaluating ... ...

D = 0.714285714285714

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.714285714285714 --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

0.714285714285714 ≈ 0.714286 <-- Dilution

Width of weld cap

Go Weld Width = ((tan(Angle of Bevel)*(Metal Thickness/0.001))*2+(Root Gap/0.001))*0.001

Strength of Butt Welded Joint

Go Tensile Stress in Butt Weld = Tensile Force on Welded Plates/(Throat Thickness of Weld*Length of Butt Weld)

Permissible Tensile Strength for Double Transverse Fillet Joint

Go Tensile Stress in Transverse Fillet Weld = Load on Weld/(1.414*Length of Fillet Weld*Length of Weld)

Dilution

Go Dilution = Area of Penetration/(Area of Penetration+Area of Reinforcement)

Resistance Welding

Go Resistance Welding = Current Magnitude^2*Resistance*Time

Relation in voltage and arc length

Go Voltage = Constant of DC Machine*Arc Length

Void Percentage

Go Percentage of Void = 100-Atomic Packing Factor Percentage

Maximum Convexity

Go Convexity = (0.1*Fillet Weld Size/0.001+0.762)*0.001

Diameter of Nugget

Go Diameter of Nugget = 6*Thickness^(1/2)

Dilution Formula

Dilution = Area of Penetration/(Area of Penetration+Area of Reinforcement)
D = AP/(AP+AOR)

What is degree of dilution?

The degree of dilution depends on (1) the type of joint and joint edge preparation; (2) the welding process, process parameters (including operating current mode), and technique used; and (3) the mismatch between the filler and base metal. In general, dilution (D)

How to Calculate Dilution?

Dilution calculator uses Dilution = Area of Penetration/(Area of Penetration+Area of Reinforcement) to calculate the Dilution, Dilution is defined as the weight of the base metal melted divided by the total weight of the weld metal. Dilution is denoted by D symbol.

How to calculate Dilution using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Dilution, enter Area of Penetration (AP) & Area of Reinforcement (AOR) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Dilution calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.714286 = 1.5/(1.5+0.6).

FAQ

What is Dilution?

Dilution is defined as the weight of the base metal melted divided by the total weight of the weld metal and is represented as D = AP/(AP+AOR) or Dilution = Area of Penetration/(Area of Penetration+Area of Reinforcement). Area of Penetration is area of penetration of electrons & Area of Reinforcement is an area of a weld that has weld metal added in excess of that specified by engineering drawings and codes.

How to calculate Dilution?

Dilution is defined as the weight of the base metal melted divided by the total weight of the weld metal is calculated using Dilution = Area of Penetration/(Area of Penetration+Area of Reinforcement). To calculate Dilution, you need Area of Penetration (AP) & Area of Reinforcement (AOR). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Area of Penetration & Area of Reinforcement and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
