Method for analyzing and eliminating hidden defects of welded pipe
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of welding heat treatment, in particular to a method for analyzing and eliminating hidden defects of a welded pipe.
Background
When the high-frequency straight seam welding of the welded pipe is carried out, the induction coil loads high-frequency current, the high-frequency current energy is concentrated in a V-shaped corner area at the edge of a welding seam by utilizing the skin effect and the proximity effect, and the plate edge is rapidly and instantly heated to the welding temperature from the room temperature. High-frequency resistance welding, electromagnetic heating energy is concentrated, although the heating surface is small, the thermal gradient is large; the local intermediate frequency heat treatment of the welding seam is carried out on the basis of high-frequency welding, and the welding waste heat in the online production is utilized. The superposition effect of high and medium frequency twice heating and the temperature value matching degree of the welding seam area of the welded pipe are closely related to the generation of welding quality defects. The targeting of the medium-frequency heat treatment is a direct reason that a heating blind area and a heating excessive area become high-incidence areas of welding quality defects. The welding quality defects are different from the defects of welding cracks, slag inclusion, air holes, welding seam appearance and the like detected by conventional flaw detection, and comprise material characteristic defects which are hidden in welding seams and heat affected zones and are discretely distributed at different positions, such as the problems of low toughness, high hardness, large residual stress, poor stability of comprehensive mechanical properties and the like shown in certain areas, and the defects are called hidden defects because of large potential safety hazards to the service burial of welded pipes under severe conditions. The method is a technical problem in order to accurately obtain the position where the hidden defects are influenced by the welded pipe and eliminate the hidden defects.
