Abstract

The invention provides an arc welding method, which enables better ripple welds to be formed. The arc welding method comprises a step 1, where a welding current Iw, of which the mean absolute value is current value iw1, running through between a welding wire (15) and welding base material generates arc a and transfers droplets; a step 2, where a welding current Iw, of which the mean absolute value, current value is1, is smaller than the current value iw1, generates arc (a). The step 1 and the step 2 are carried out repeatedly. The arc welding method also comprises a step to maintain the arc (a) in a quenched state during a moment tv1 to a moment t3, wherein the tv1 is the moment when the arc (a) is quenched at the step 2 and the t3 is the moment when the next step 1 starts. In such a structure, the arc (a) is maintained in a quenched state during moment tv1 to a moment t3 until no arc (a) is generated at the moment t3. Therefore, damage to the appearance of a weld due to arc (a) regenerated before the moment t3 can be avoided, thereby forming a better ripple weld.

Fig. 8 is the figure that is used to illustrate the welding bead that forms after the welding procedure.As shown in the drawing, begin place P1 at first electric arc and form weld mark Sc, towards welding direct of travel Dr at interval the electric arc of moving interval Mp begin place P2 once more and also form same weld mark Sc.Begin place P3 once more at electric arc and further form weld mark Sc later in proper order.Like this, form scale, consequently formed lepidiod welding bead B as weld mark Sc in overlapping mode.
In above-mentioned method, shown in Fig. 7 (b), Fig. 7 (c) etc., make electric arc a stop, making once more afterwards the recurrent step of electric arc a repeatedly.Want to make electric arc a to take place once more, need the time.Therefore, in said method, there is long problem weld interval.Thereby, as shown in Figure 9, a kind of welding method (for example with reference to patent documentation 2) that electric arc a is stopped and then just not need electric arc a to take place has once more been proposed.
Shown in Fig. 9 (b), Fig. 9 (c), different with the situation shown in Fig. 7 (b), Fig. 7 (c), when cooling melting tank Y, electric arc a is stopped, keeping electric arc a to continue the state that takes place.Thus, can realize the shortening of weld interval.
But, shown in Fig. 9 (b), Fig. 9 (c), when cooling melting tank Y, need make welding current extremely little in order to prevent molten drop from moving.If welding current diminishes, then when cooling melting tank Y electric arc might take place and interrupt.Take place under the situation of electric arc interruption, interrupt then taking place once more immediately electric arc a if electric arc takes place usually.When the generation once more of this electric arc a, might splash, thereby cause the deterioration of lepidiod welding bead outward appearance.

This figure (a) represents the variable condition of automatics translational speed VR, (b) represents the variable condition of current settings signal Is, (c) represents the variable condition of welding current Iw, (d) represents the variable condition of giving speed Fw.The translational speed of the automatics translational speed VR welding direct of travel (the welding direct of travel Dr of prior art corresponding shown in Figure 8) that to be welding torch 14 stipulate among the direction in the face of welding base metal W.
At first, by the welding commencing signal St (with reference to Fig. 2) of input from the outside, the welding of carrying out transition generally speaking begins to handle.In welding begins to handle, control circuit 21 will be exported commencing signal On and export output control circuit 31 to and give control circuit 34.Output control circuit 31 applies weldingvoltage Vw between welding wire 15 and welding base metal W.Thus, form electric arc a.And as shown in Figure 3, T2 welds by carry out during the droplet transitions T1 and electric arc repeatedly the duration.During droplet transitions, among the T1, carry out droplet transitions, and form melting tank by flowing through welding current Iw1.On the other hand, the duration of electric arc, among the T2,, carry out droplet transitions hardly, and welding torch 14 is moved pilot arc a the time by flowing through welding current Iw2.Below be specifically described.
(1) (the t1~t2) constantly of T1 during the droplet transitions
During droplet transitions, among the T1, carry out the processing of the melting tank Y shown in Fig. 7 (a), Fig. 9 (a) in the explanation of prior art.Among the T1, shown in Fig. 3 (a), VR is set at 0 with the automatics translational speed during droplet transitions.Therefore, welding torch 14 is in halted state with respect to welding base metal W.Shown in this figure (c), as welding current Iw, flowing through average absolute is the alternating-current pulse welding current Iw1 of current value iw1.During droplet transitions, among the T1, carry out constant voltage control.In constant voltage control, if by welding condition decisions such as the extension elongation of the material of welding wire 15, diameter, welding wire 15, polarities of electrode, then welding current Iw can determine according to the speed of the giving Fw of the welding wire 15 shown in this figure (d).That is to say that the rate setting signal Ws that gives that welding current Iw1 gives speed Fw by setting sets.Among the T1, welding wire 15 is fed to the speed of the giving Fw of fw1 during droplet transitions.Fw1 for example is 650~1000cm/min.In addition, T1 for example is 0.4~0.5sec during the droplet transitions.
Fig. 4 is the figure that represents the time variation of welding current Iw1 in detail.In Fig. 3, though for the ease of understanding the simple welding current Iw1 that represented, in fact welding current Iw1 is an alternating-current pulse electric current shown in Figure 4.Current value iw1 among Fig. 4 is consistent with the current value iw1 among Fig. 3.Time scale among Fig. 4 is compared very little with the time scale among Fig. 3.In Fig. 4, the longitudinal axis of expression welding current Iw, the electric current that welding wire 15 is flow through during for anode is as " just ".
According to this figure as can be known, welding current Iw1 respectively has an electrode straight polarity electric current I ep and electrode negative polarity electric current I en in period T e.Period T e for example is about 20ms.Electrode straight polarity electric current I ep is that welding wire 15 is the electric current that flows through under the state of negative electrode for anode, welding base metal W.Electrode straight polarity electric current I ep comprises: positive polarity peak point current Ipp, positive polarity base current Ipb.Positive polarity peak point current Ipp Tpp during electrode straight polarity flows through.Tpp for example is 2msec during the electrode straight polarity.The absolute value Iepp of positive polarity peak point current Ipp for example is 300~350A.On the other hand, positive polarity base current Ipb Tpb during electrode straight polarity flows through.Tpb for example is 14msec during the electrode straight polarity.The absolute value of positive polarity base current Ipb for example is 50~100A.
Electrode negative polarity electric current I en is that welding wire 15 is the electric current that flows through under the state of anode for negative electrode, welding base metal W.Electric current negative polarity electric current I en Ten during the electrode negative polarity flows through.Ten for example is 3.0~4.0msec during the electrode negative polarity.The absolute value Ienp of electrode negative polarity electric current I en for example is 50~100A.
During positive polarity peak point current Ipp, positive polarity base current Ipb, electrode negative polarity electric current I en, the electrode straight polarity during Tpp and the electrode negative polarity Ten be set at setting.Tpb carries out FEEDBACK CONTROL during electrode straight polarity, makes the mean value of weldingvoltage equate with the weldingvoltage setting value of predesignating.Is desired value by this control with the length setting of electric arc a.It is consistent with current value iw1 that the absolute value that aligns polarity peak electric current I pp, positive polarity base current Ipb and electrode negative polarity electric current I en carries out the value that time average obtains.Current value iw1 for example is 90A.
(2) (the t2~t3) constantly of T2 electric arc the duration
The duration of electric arc shown in Figure 3, among the T2, carry out the processing of the cooling melting tank Y shown in Fig. 9 (b), (c) in the explanation of prior art, electric arc a is continued.T2 for example is 0.2~0.3sec duration of electric arc.
(i) beginning of T2 electric arc the duration~to electric arc a eliminate during (t2~tv1) constantly
Shown in Fig. 3 (a), t2 constantly during the beginning of T2 duration of electric arc, VR is set at V2 with the automatics translational speed.Thus, welding torch 14 begins to move along the welding direct of travel of regulation.V2 for example is 100cm/min.Different with T1 during the droplet transitions, the duration of electric arc, carry out constant current control among the T2.Shown in this figure (b), current settings signal Is is set to: flow through the constant current that current value is is1 (that is, average absolute is current value is1) as welding current Iw.Therefore, shown in this figure (c), flow through the constant welding current Iw2 that current value is is1 as welding current Iw.
Current value is1 for example is about 15~20A.Current value is1 is that degree is little of the value that is difficult to carry out droplet transitions.In addition, welding current Iw2 is that welding wire 15 is that flow through, so-called electrode straight polarity electric current under the state of negative electrode for anode, welding base metal W.Shown in this figure (d), give welding wire 15 with the speed of the giving Fw of fw2.Fw2 is littler than fw1, for example is 70cm/min.
(ii) electric arc a eliminate~when T1 begins during the next droplet transitions during (tv1~t3) constantly
At moment tv1, owing to unexpected reason electric arc a eliminates.So shown in this figure (c), welding current Iw becomes 0.The current detection circuit 32 of Fig. 2 is that 0 current detection signal Id exports electric arc to and eliminates testing circuit 33 with welding current Iw.Electric arc is eliminated testing circuit 33 and is judged that according to the current detection signal Id that imports welding current Iw is 0.Then, electric arc is eliminated testing circuit 33 and is judged electric arc a and eliminate.So electric arc elimination testing circuit 33 is eliminated signal Sa with electric arc and is exported output control circuit 31 and control circuit 21 to.
As mentioned above, electric arc is eliminated testing circuit 33 when to receive welding current Iw be 0 current detection signal Id, is not judged as electric arc a immediately and eliminates.Passed through regulation after time delay when the current detection signal Id that from input welding current Iw is 0, electric arc is eliminated testing circuit 33 and is still received under the situation that welding current Iw is 0 current detection signal Id, is judged as electric arc a and eliminates.The duration of preferred electric arc among the T2 time delay dt2 than droplet transitions during dt1 time delay among the T1 short.For example with time delay dt2 be set at 20~50ms, for example with time delay dt2 be set at 100ms.
When control circuit 21 receives electric arc elimination detection signal Sa, change and give rate setting signal Ws, make that giving speed Fw is 0.Thus, shown in this figure (d), the speed Fw of giving is 0, stops to give of welding wire 15.On the other hand, when output control circuit 31 receives electric arc elimination signal Sa, make output be changed to (OFF) state of closing.Stop to give or the output of output control circuit 31 being changed to this step of closed condition of welding wire 15, the state of eliminating for pilot arc a carries out.The state of wanting pilot arc a to eliminate may not make giving fully of welding wire 15 stop, and not need to make the output of output control circuit 31 to be changed to closed condition.Also can continue to give welding wire 15, and the output of output control circuit 31 is maintained opening with the degree of the state can pilot arc a eliminated.Shown in this figure (a), at moment tv1~moment t3, automatics translational speed VR also maintains V2 all the time.Therefore, even in tv1~t3, welding torch 14 does not stop yet, and moves along the welding direct of travel of regulation.
T1 during the (iii) next droplet transitions (moment t3~t4)
Shown in this figure (a), at the moment t3 automatics translational speed VR is set at 0, stop to move of welding torch 14.In addition, shown in this figure (d), the speed Fw of giving is set at the fw3 littler than fw1, begins giving of welding wire 15.Then, be in unlatching (ON) state, electric arc a is taken place once more by the output that makes output control circuit 31.For electric arc a is taken place once more, can adopt various arc starting methods.For example can adopt welding wire 15 contact welding base metal W are separated welding wire 15 afterwards from welding base metal W contraction start method as this arc starting method.Also can make electric arc when electric arc a takes place once more begin condition, with moment tv1 that electric arc a eliminates before electric arc when electric arc a taking place in the arc welding carried out to begin condition different.As this electric arc condition that begins for example is the size of beginning electric current or the time of flowing through the beginning electric current.And, after electric arc a takes place, shown in this figure (d), make the speed Fw of giving be changed to fw1.And then carry out arc welding once more.
Next, the effect to present embodiment describes.
According to present embodiment, during sequentially carrying out droplet transitions repeatedly T1 and electric arc the duration under the situation of T2, can form perfect flakey welding bead not eliminating electric arc a.And then, according to present embodiment, even if under the situation that the moment tv1 electric arc a of T2 eliminates once in a while the duration of electric arc, electric arc a takes place once more before the t3 of T1 during also not needing since moment tv1 to droplet transitions once more.The deterioration of the welding bead outward appearance that produces in the time of therefore, can avoiding before moment tv1 to t3, electric arc a taking place once more.Thus, can form more perfectly flakey welding bead.
According to present embodiment, shown in Fig. 3 (a), during droplet transitions, among the T1, welding torch 14 is stopped with respect to welding base metal W, only the duration of electric arc, among the T2, welding torch 14 is moved with respect to welding base metal W.This just is being suitable for forming more perfectly welding bead of outward appearance.
In addition, even in moment tv1~t3, welding torch 14 does not stop yet, and moves along the welding direct of travel of regulation.Therefore, above-mentioned welding torch 14 can be moved to quickly the position of T1 during the beginning droplet transitions.Thus, can shorten the time required in the welding.
Shown in this figure (c), electric arc a eliminates under moment tv1 welding wire 15 and state that welding base metal W separates, and welding current Iw becomes 0, and current detection circuit 33 detects welding current Iw and becomes 0.This structure is suitable for detecting electric arc a and eliminates.
In addition, dt2 time delay with electric arc the duration among the T2 set than droplet transitions during under the short situation of dt1 time delay among the T1, can more promptly stop to give welding wire 15, or the output of output control circuit 31 is changed to closed condition.Therefore, dt2 time delay by with electric arc the duration among the T2 sets shortlyer than dt1 time delay among the T1 during the droplet transitions, and it is approaching to welding base metal W further promptly to stop welding wire 15.Thus, can be further the state eliminated of pilot arc a reliably.
When moment tv1 electric arc a eliminates, stop to give of welding wire 15 fully.In addition, when when moment tv1 electric arc a eliminates, the output of output control circuit 31 is changed to closed condition.Therefore, the not accessible welding base metal W of welding wire 15 after electric arc a eliminates.That is to say that the related structure of present embodiment is suitable for the state that pilot arc a eliminates.
In the present embodiment, electric arc a does not take place in T2 once more duration of electric arc, and electric arc a takes place when T1 begins during droplet transitions once more.Therefore, for electric arc a takes place once more, can adopt various arc starting methods.Thus, as the arc starting method that is used for taking place once more electric arc a, can adopt for example shrink start method etc. be difficult to the method for splashing more.
As shown in Figure 4, welding current Iw1 is the alternating-current pulse electric current.Therefore, can suppress during the droplet transitions among the T1 input heat to welding base metal W.This is suitable for the situation that welding base metal W for example is the thin plate that is made of aluminium.
In addition, welding current Iw2 is the electric current of so-called electrode straight polarity.Welding current Iw2 is if welding wire 15 is the electrode negative polarity electric current that flows through under the state of anode for negative electrode, welding base metal W, and then the fusing amount of welding wire 15 is more, so just is easy to generate molten drop and easily drops on problem on the welding base metal W.But, in the present embodiment,, therefore can suppress the generation of this problem because welding current Iw2 is not electrode negative polarity electric current but electrode straight polarity electric current.
In addition, also can under the state that welding base metal W tilts with respect to horizontal direction, use method involved in the present invention.So, molten drop is difficult for dropping on the welding base metal W.Its result can form more perfectly welding bead.
Fig. 5 represents the 2nd embodiment of the present invention.In addition, in the figure, invest symbol same as described above for identical with above-mentioned embodiment or similar key element.The moment t4 of present embodiment after electric arc a eliminates makes current settings signal Is rise to current value is2 from current value is1, and be different with the 1st embodiment in this.
Imported the control circuit 21 that electric arc is eliminated Fig. 2 of signal Sa at moment tv1, risen to is2 from current value is1 by make current settings signal Is at moment t4, thus the step that current settings signal Is is risen.Control circuit 21 will export output control circuit 31 to from the current settings signal Is after current value is1 rises to current value is2.When input rose to the current settings signal Is of current value is2, output control circuit 31 like that, flow through welding current Iw2 with current value is2 shown in this figure (c).
In addition, current value is2 compares with current value is1, about for example big 1~10A.In addition, also can under the situation that electric arc a after the moment t4 eliminates once more, current settings signal Is be risen.
According to present embodiment, among the T2, welding current Iw2 flows through with current value is2 duration of the later electric arc of moment t4.Therefore, among the T2, electric arc a is difficult for eliminating the duration of the later electric arc of moment t4.Thus, the necessity that electric arc a is taken place once more at moment t4 reduces.Thereby, can suppress welding base metal W and upward splash.Its result can make welding base metal W go up the outward appearance perfection more of the flakey welding bead that forms according to present embodiment.
In addition, present embodiment also has the advantage identical with the 1st embodiment.
In the present embodiment, though represented moment tv1 only once electric arc a eliminate the example that current settings signal Is is risen, also can only under the situation that electric arc a eliminates for many times, make current settings signal Is rising.By only under the situation that electric arc a eliminates for many times, current settings signal Is being risen, excessively become big thereby can suppress welding current Iw2.Thus, the duration of can being suppressed at electric arc among the T2 welding wire 15 or welding base metal W melt.
As long as eliminated current settings signal Is is risen, may not make current settings signal Is rising at moment t4 according to electric arc a.For example, also can be the duration of electric arc current settings signal Is be risen in the process of T2.Perhaps also can current settings signal Is be risen at moment t6.
Scope of the present invention is not limited to above-mentioned embodiment.Concrete structure of the present invention can freely carry out the change in the various designs.In the above-described embodiment, though by being 0 to detect electric arc and eliminate with welding current, for example also can resolving, and then detect the elimination of electric arc to the image of having taken the part that electric arc takes place or the variation of image.Perhaps, set the threshold voltage (for example be than non-load voltage smaller value) bigger by T2 the electric arc duration than the common obtainable value of weldingvoltage Vw, surpass under the situation of this threshold voltage at weldingvoltage Vw, be judged as electric arc and eliminate, and then detect the elimination of electric arc.
In addition, though in order to form more perfectly welding bead outward appearance, preferably T1 is set at 0 with automatics translational speed VR during droplet transitions, and the present invention is not limited to this.For example, the automatics translational speed VR (V2) the duration of also can being set at the automatics translational speed VR among the T1 during the droplet transitions than electric arc among the T2 little and than 0 big value.And, also can according to automatics translational speed VR to droplet transitions during T1 and electric arc the duration T2 suitably adjust.
In above-mentioned, though represented that welding current Iw1 is the example of alternating-current pulse electric current, the present invention is not limited to this, and welding current Iw1 also can be the constant current of direct current etc.Certainly, for welding current Iw2 too.
