Description

Plasma welding method of aluminum alloy plate
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of aluminum alloy plate welding, and relates to a plasma welding method of an aluminum alloy plate.
Background
The aluminum alloy has low density, high specific strength and strong corrosion resistance, and is widely applied to welding structures in the fields of aerospace, petrochemical industry and the like. However, aluminum alloy has high thermal conductivity, large expansion coefficient and is easy to oxidize, so that the welding joint has the defects of easy generation of pores, cracks and the like. In order to obtain a high-quality aluminum alloy welded joint and improve the welding efficiency, a welding method with higher energy density and lower heat input is needed.
In recent years, conventional steel materials have been gradually replaced with aluminum alloys, and the application ratio of materials for aluminum alloys is increasing. When an aluminum alloy material is exposed to outside air, an oxide film (aluminum oxide) is easily formed on the surface. The oxide film has a high melting point, and although the base aluminum melts during welding, the oxide film may not melt, and thus bead disturbance and blowholes may occur.
In the current welding method of aluminum alloy materials, the plasma welding method is a welding method with lower cost compared to the laser welding method and the friction stir welding, and the application thereof tends to increase. The conventional welding technique uses ac plasma welding, and has the effects of removing an oxide film and ensuring penetration. However, the problem of generation of craters and weld porosity on the surface of the weld bead is not solved. The existence of welding defects seriously affects the performance of welding seams, and further affects the stability of the whole welding structure. And when the traditional protective gas argon is used, the electric arc is generated slowly and the voltage is low, so that the welding speed is reduced, and further the production efficiency is influenced.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the present invention provides a plasma welding method for aluminum alloy plates, which aims to solve the problems of the existing plasma welding method that pits and weld pores appear on the surface of a weld bead when the weld bead of the aluminum alloy plate is welded.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a plasma welding method of an aluminum alloy sheet, comprising the steps of:
A. pre-cleaning oil stains on the surface of an aluminum alloy plate to be welded, preventing pores from being generated on the surface of a welding seam of the welded aluminum alloy plate, and butting the pre-treated aluminum alloy plates together;
B. adjusting the distance between a tungsten electrode on a welding seam and the welding seam of the aluminum alloy plate, introducing plasma gas between the tungsten electrode and a plasma nozzle surrounding the tungsten electrode, and introducing protective gas between the plasma nozzle and a shielding cover surrounding the plasma nozzle, wherein the plasma gas contains helium;
C. starting a power supply between the tungsten electrode and the aluminum alloy plate to be welded, wherein the heat input value Q of each unit plate thickness is 2500-10000 (J/cm)2) Wherein Q is 60 (EI/Vt), and Q is heat input value (J/cm)2) E is welding voltage (V), I is welding current (A), V is welding speed (cm/min), and t is aluminum alloy plate thickness (cm);
D. and performing plasma arc welding on the welding seam between the aluminum alloy plates by adopting a mode that a direct-current positive electrode acts on the side of the aluminum alloy plate and a negative electrode acts on the side of the tungsten electrode, wherein the plasma gas flow in the welding process is 0.4-5.5L/min.
And further, in the step A, acetone or other organic solvents are used for cleaning oil stains on the surface of the aluminum alloy plate.
And further, in the step B, the pretreated aluminum alloy plate is clamped according to the assembly sequence, and the lap joint gap is not more than 0.15t (t is the thickness of the aluminum alloy plate).
Further, the distance h between the tungsten electrode and the surface of the aluminum alloy plate in the step B is 2.5 mm.
Further, in the step B, the plasma gas is helium-argon mixed gas with helium concentration more than or equal to 80%, and the protective gas is nitrogen.
The invention has the beneficial effects that:
1. the plasma welding method of the aluminum alloy plate disclosed by the invention adopts a mode that a direct current positive electrode acts on the side of the aluminum alloy plate, and a negative electrode acts on the side of a tungsten electrode to carry out plasma arc welding on a welding seam between the aluminum alloy plates, so that electrons emitted from a negative electrode (the tungsten electrode) collide with the aluminum alloy material at high speed and generate a large amount of heat, the connection mode is opposite to a mode that the positive electrode acts on the tungsten electrode, and the negative electrode acts on the aluminum alloy plate or a mode that alternating current acts on the tungsten electrode and the aluminum alloy plate respectively, and the generated heat is maximum. In addition, by using a direct current power supply, a very stable plasma arc can be obtained, so that the problems of pits and weld pores can not occur in the weld bead of the finally welded aluminum alloy plate. By appropriately controlling the distance between the aluminum alloy plate material and the tungsten electrode and the amount of heat input per unit aluminum alloy plate thickness during welding, it is possible to suppress welding defects such as blowholes during welding, and to obtain a good welded joint free from defects.
2. In the plasma welding method for the aluminum alloy plate, the plasma gas is the helium-argon mixed gas with the helium concentration being more than 80%, the helium gas is the gas formed by light elements, the electric arc is easy to shrink in the reaction process, the current density is high, and therefore compared with the condition of only using the argon gas, the electric arc is easy to generate, the voltage is very high and is about twice. Therefore, an arc having a very high energy density can be obtained as compared with the case of using a plasma gas composed of only argon gas.
3. According to the plasma welding method of the aluminum alloy plate, disclosed by the invention, the flow of plasma gas in the welding process is 0.4-5.5L/min, and the plasma gas under the intensity can show the effect of further reducing pores. However, if the flow rate of the plasma gas is 5.5L/min or more, the plasma flow becomes too strong, and the molten metal tends to hang down.

The objectives and other advantages of the invention may be realized and attained by the means of the instrumentalities and combinations particularly pointed out hereinafter.

B. adjusting the distance between a tungsten electrode 11 and the welding seam of the aluminum alloy plate 1 on the welding seam, wherein the distance h between the tungsten electrode 11 and the surface of the aluminum alloy plate 1 is 2.5mm, introducing plasma gas between the tungsten electrode 11 and a plasma nozzle 12 surrounding the tungsten electrode, and introducing protective gas between the plasma nozzle 12 and a shielding cover 13 surrounding the plasma nozzle, wherein the plasma gas is 80% helium-argon mixed gas;
C. starting the arc striking power supply 15, the main power supply 14 of the plasma welding machine 10 and the arc striking power supply 15 between the tungsten electrode 11 and the aluminum alloy plate 1 to be welded, wherein the heat input value Q per unit plate thickness is 5000 (J/cm)2) Wherein Q is 60 (EI/Vt), and Q is heat input value (J/cm)2) E is welding voltage (V), I is welding current (A), V is welding speed (cm/min), and t is aluminum alloy plate thickness (cm);
D. and performing plasma arc welding on the welding seam between the aluminum alloy plates by adopting a mode that a direct-current positive electrode acts on the side of the aluminum alloy plate and a negative electrode acts on the side of the tungsten electrode, wherein the plasma gas flow in the welding process is 2L/min.
Example 2
Example 2 differs from example 1 in that the heat input value Q per unit sheet thickness in step C was 7500 (J/cm)2). And D, controlling the flow of the plasma gas to be 3L/min.
Comparative example 1
Comparative example 1 differs from example 1 in that the plasma gas in step B is argon.
Comparative example 2
The comparative example 2 is different from the example 1 in that the plasma arc welding is performed on the weld joint between the aluminum alloy sheets in the step D in such a manner that the alternating current positive electrode acts on the aluminum alloy sheet side and the negative electrode acts on the tungsten electrode side, and the plasma gas flow rate during the welding process is 2L/min.
Observation of the weld beads of the aluminum alloy sheets welded in examples 1 to 2 and comparative examples 1 to 2 revealed that the weld beads of the aluminum alloy sheets in examples 1 and 2 did not cause the problems of craters and weld blowholes, and that good weld joints without defects could be obtained. The comparative examples 1 and 2 have pits and weld blowholes on the surface of the weld bead for welding the aluminum alloy sheet, and the arc generation is slow and low, which causes the welding speed to be reduced and affects the production efficiency.
In the case of bead welding of the aluminum alloy sheets in examples 1 and 2, the energy of the arc was increased to remove the oxide film containing hydroxide on the surface of the aluminum alloy sheet, thereby reducing the hydrogen source. Further, by increasing the heat input Q corresponding to the plate thickness at the time of plasma welding, small hydrogen bubbles float on the surface of the weld metal and are released and move into the atmosphere. Thus, when an aluminum alloy plate is welded by direct current positive plasma welding, blowholes in the weld metal can be effectively reduced. By observing the front and back sides and cross section of the post-weld, no defects were observed.
By adopting the welding process of the aluminum alloy plate, the strength of the welding part can be fully improved, and the overall safety of a weldment is further improved.
