Furnace tube local high-temperature forging and welding method
Technical Field
The invention relates to a furnace tube local high-temperature forging welding method, and belongs to the technical field of welding.
Background
At present, the most remarkable characteristics of the high-temperature alloy material in the using process are as follows: as the temperature rises until the working temperature is 830-890 ℃ and the material is used for a long time, the carbide in the material in the temperature range completes segregation along the metal grain boundary from 10-1000 hours of the initial work, the precipitation of the carbide is transformed from the initial small block to the coherent large block carbide with longer service time, and the precipitation of the carbide is the final purpose of researching the material, so that the material is more stable in the high temperature resistant process.
With the increase of the service process of the material, carbide is continuously precipitated, the weldability of the material becomes worse and worse, mainly because a large amount of carbide is gathered in the metal crystal boundary of the material, the tensile strength becomes worse, the material is easy to crack along the crystal boundary under the action of welding shrinkage stress or other tensile stress, and in addition, the characteristic of large expansion coefficient and small heat conductivity coefficient of the material is caused by the poor heat conductivity of the material, and the cracking tendency of the material is further caused. Referring to fig. 1, the weldability of the new material is very good, but the furnace tube material increases with the service time, and the precipitates on the metal surface of the furnace tube gradually increase, and when the furnace tube is welded with the new furnace tube, the side close to the old furnace tube cracks along the grain boundary in the heat affected zone.
Referring to fig. 2, the structure crystal grains on the surface of the furnace tube after a period of use become extremely coarse due to precipitation of carbides, resulting in a decrease in mechanical properties such as tensile strength, which is a main cause of cracking encountered during welding of the old and new furnace tubes. In the traditional welding method, the cut end of the furnace tube is melted by an electric arc of argon arc welding on the groove with the current of 100A-120A without filling metal, and then is recrystallized, and is cooled to room temperature and then is subjected to PT inspection, the detection result can indicate the weldability of the metal, if the detection result is one-grade or a very small amount of cracks with the length not exceeding 1mm, the weldability of the metal is better, and if the cracks are serious, the weldability of the metal is very poor. When the whole groove is burnt or spray-shaped splashing is generated under the high temperature of the electric arc of the argon arc welding, the metal does not have weldability.

s5: and (4) end welding, namely welding the forged welding part.
In one embodiment of the method, the welding is argon arc welding, and the main preparation tool before welding comprises the following steps: an angle grinder; slicing 1-1.2 mm; 1.5-2 pounds of a tip dome throwing hammer, wherein the radius of a small dome is about 3mm (or a pneumatic small air pick); one set of argon arc welding machines which are professional argon arc welding machines with attenuation; the argon meter and the argon are provided with a plurality of bands. And carrying out PT inspection before welding, and if a problem is found, cleaning the small crack of the end groove and carrying out welding. The back lining gas is fully considered before welding, because the whole furnace tube system is large and argon cannot be filled into the whole system for welding, the best method is to paste paper easy to carbonize in the furnace tube about 100mm for plugging, and the back lining is partially filled with argon for protection.

The method comprises the following steps: melting the cut end of the furnace tube by using an electric arc of argon arc welding to the groove with a current of 100A-120A without adding filling metal, then recrystallizing, cooling to room temperature, and then carrying out PT inspection, wherein the detection result can indicate the weldability of the metal, if the detection result is a first-grade crack or a very small amount of cracks with the length not exceeding 1mm, the weldability of the metal is better, and if the cracks are serious, the weldability of the metal is very poor. When the whole groove is burnt or spray-shaped splashing is generated under the high temperature of the electric arc of the argon arc welding, the metal does not have weldability.

Specifically, after the furnace tube is cut off, the grinding is carried out by using an angle grinder, but an angle grinding plate needs to be carried out by using a 1-1.2mm slice, so that the over-high temperature of local grinding is prevented. Because the old furnace tube can generate cracks due to overhigh local temperature in the grinding process, the cracks are also caused by grain boundary cracking generated by nonuniform heating after carbide of the grain boundary is precipitated. Forging by adopting a heating method. The acetylene oxygen flame or the resistance heating belt is used for heating, the flame heating can not uniformly heat the whole groove, so that the local high-temperature forging is carried out, a throwing hammer or a pneumatic small air pick is generally adopted in the knocking and pressurizing process, and a layer of austenite alloy is added on a handle hammer or an air pick head for forging before forging. The heating temperature is generally within the range of 570-630 ℃, after heating, the flame is removed, and the heating part is rapidly knocked and forged by a hand hammer or a small air pick until the forging is completed uniformly within the range of 50-70mm around the groove, the forging depth is generally within the range of 3-5mm, and the process is finished.
Referring to fig. 6, the area of the end to be welded is equally divided, and the evenly divided end is welded in a symmetrical manner. Through pairing and spot welding, the weld gap is determined according to the diameter of the welding wire, generally phi +1-1.5mm of the diameter of the welding wire, the spot welding position is generally (1.2.3 points), and welding is started at the 4 th point. And (3) adopting symmetrical welding, namely welding the area a, then welding the area b, then welding the area c and finally welding the area d. Multilayer multi-pass welding and the like.
When the method of the embodiment is adopted, during welding, attention is paid to nickel-based welding materials are generally selected when the welding materials are required to be selected again because the strength of the used furnace tube in service is changed. A special welding process is needed during welding: the welding wire is additionally added at the arc closing point to make the welding wire bulge, and the welding channel is knocked after the arc is closed. Specifically, after the bottom layer is finished, the filling layer is welded to one side of the old furnace pipe, and finally the filling layer is welded to one side of the new furnace pipe. And stopping arc after welding for 80-100mm each time, and immediately knocking and forging by using a throwing hammer or a small pneumatic pick to eliminate stress, so that the crack tendency is reduced.
After welding, the welding can be qualified by adopting ray inspection (RT) II or above, and penetration inspection (PT) I grade is qualified. Finally, the air tightness test is carried out, and the test pressure can be carried out according to the design pressure or 1.2-1.5 times of the working pressure.
The local high-temperature forging method is adopted for welding the lower collecting pipe of a certain petrochemical hydrogen production converter and the reinforced joint of the lower collecting pipe, so that the stable operation time of the equipment is obviously increased.
