TY - JOUR TI - New method for determining cooling time and preheating temperature in arc welding AU - Nejković Valentina M AU - Milićević Miroslav S AU - Radaković Zoran J JN - Thermal Science PY - 2019 VL - 23 IS - 6 SP - 3975 EP - 3984 PT - Article AB - Study and research on arc welding have provided identification of errors in formulas for calculating the cooling time t8/5 and other dependent parameters. It is concluded that large errors are present in certain intervals which had caused failures in welding technologies. Incorrect approximation of cooling temperature is replaced by a more accurate approximation used for defining of the new precise algorithm for determining relevant welding parameters.
