Description

Friction stir butt welding device for large-thickness titanium-nickel dissimilar materials and machining method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of friction stir welding equipment, and particularly relates to a friction stir butt welding device for a large-thickness titanium-nickel dissimilar material and a machining method thereof.
Background
The friction stir welding technology is a novel solid phase connection technology developed by british welding research institute in 1991. The principle is that a stirring head with a special shaft shoulder is inserted into a to-be-welded part of a to-be-welded part in a rotating mode at a certain rotating speed, due to the fact that the stirring head and the to-be-welded part generate heat through friction, the temperature of materials in the peripheral area of the stirring head rises to reach a thermoplastic state, the stirring head moves forwards at a certain speed while rotating, at the moment, the thermoplasticized materials can move along the rotating direction of the stirring head under the action of the stirring head, and the materials form reliable solid phase connection under the action of the pressure of the shaft shoulder. The friction stir welding is widely applied to welding of metal materials with low melting point and high performance such as aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy and the like, avoids the defects of air holes, cracks and the like generated when the materials are welded by the traditional welding technology, enhances the quality of welding seams, reduces the welding deformation and saves the welding materials. However, the application of friction stir welding to high-strength alloys such as titanium, steel and nickel, which have high welding difficulty, is limited by the material of the stirring head.
The friction stir welding process can enable a certain temperature gradient to exist in the thickness direction of a welding seam in the welding process, the temperature of the upper surface of the welding seam is highest due to the friction action of a shaft shoulder of a stirring head, the temperature is gradually reduced along the thickness direction, the temperature of the bottom end of the welding seam is lowest, and the temperature difference is increased along with the increase of the thickness of a welding object, so that the defects of incomplete penetration, incomplete fusion, weak connection and the like are easily generated at the bottom of the welding seam in the thick plate welding process, the uniformity of the mechanical property in the thickness direction of the welding seam is influenced, and the overall mechanical property of. Therefore, friction stir welding of high-melting-point and high-strength materials such as titanium, steel and nickel with large thickness becomes a difficult point at the present stage, and the friction stir welding of dissimilar materials with large thickness, high melting point and high strength is difficult to realize.
In order to solve the problem of friction stir welding of large-thickness plates, researchers optimize and improve welding equipment, welding processes and the like in many aspects, but the effect is not satisfactory. For example, patent CN 103978304 a discloses a friction stir welding process for thick plates, which is to form a symmetrical step-shaped groove on a thick plate, embed an embedded strip in a pit, which is the same as the plate, and perform friction stir butt welding on the thick plate and the embedded strip by layering the thick plate for multiple times, thereby realizing butt welding between the thick plates. And patent CN 109483071 a discloses a method for laser-friction stir hybrid welding of large-thickness plates, which realizes welding of large-thickness plates by laser welding on the upper part of the large-thickness plates and friction stir welding on the lower part of the large-thickness plates, but the performance of the weld formed by laser welding and friction stir welding is greatly different, so that the welding performance of thick plates in the thickness direction is inconsistent. Patent CN 109202265 a discloses a heavy-duty friction stir welding robot, which is formed by connecting more than two parallel robots in series step by step to form a series-parallel robot having both series and parallel features, and a friction stir welding machine can be mounted on a headstock at the tail end of the series-parallel robot. The hybrid robot in the technical scheme has high rigidity and strong bearing capacity, and can realize friction stir welding of workpieces with large thicknesses. However, the hybrid robot has a complicated structure and is expensive.
Therefore, the development and design of the friction stir welding device for the large-thickness high-melting-point and high-strength dissimilar materials have important economic, social and practical significance.
