The preferred numbering system in the inch system is a bitconvoluted. The inch system actually has two preferred numbering systems: • Fractional based: We prefer whole numbers to fractions. We prefer 1/2’s to 1/4’s; 1/4’s to 1/8’s; 1/8’s to 1/16’s, etc. • Decimal based: We prefer whole numbers to decimal increments.

Theweld was performed using tool rotational speed of 1200 rpm, the transverse speed of 4.5 mm/s,and plunging force of 5000 N. The welded plate was cut perpendicular to the welded line toproduce four rectangular strips. The strips were machined using CNC mill to make identicalspecimens for the tensile tests. The five steps of the welded specimens’ preparation and thegeometric characteristics of the test specimen are shown in Figure 3.
