Cost Components Materials Cost/ Length (CM)
• CM = (WE)(CE)+(WF)(CF)+(VG)(CG)
• Cost of electrode/length of weld
=(WE)(CE) • WE = weight of electrode
• Cost of flux/length of weld • CE = cost of electrode ($/wt)
=(WF)(CF) • WF = weight of flux
• Cost of gas/length of weld • CF = cost of flux ($/wt)
=(VG)(CG) • VG = volume of gas
• CG = cost of gas ($/vol)

• Alternatively,
• CL = (t) (CR) / (OF) • t = 1/S
– S = speed of weld
• t = time / length of weld
• CR = cost of labor + overhead ($/time) • CL = (CR) / S (OF)
• OF = operating factor (efficiency)

Other Issues Summary
• Calculations show what can happen, if • Costs of arc welding can be calculated
you have the correct equipment. • Calculations give you guidance on:
• Other costs – process selection
– depreciation, taxes, etc. – operating condition targets
