Description

Friction stir butt welding device for large-thickness titanium-nickel dissimilar materials and processing 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 processing method thereof.
Background
Friction stir welding is a novel solid phase joining technique developed by the uk welding research in 1991. The principle is that a stirring head with a special shaft shoulder is inserted into a part to be welded of a welded piece in a rotating mode at a certain rotating speed, the temperature of materials in the peripheral area of the stirring head rises due to friction heat generation of the stirring head and the welded piece, a thermoplastic state is achieved, the stirring head moves forwards at a certain speed while rotating, at the moment, the heat-plasticized materials 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 shaft shoulder pressure. Friction stir welding is widely applied to welding of low-melting-point and high-performance metal materials such as aluminum alloy and magnesium alloy, 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 welding deformation and saves welding materials. However, the friction stir welding is limited by the materials for stirring heads, and has certain limitation in application to high-strength alloys with high welding difficulty such as titanium, steel, nickel and the like.
The friction stir welding process can lead the welding seam to have a certain temperature gradient in the thickness direction of the welding seam in the welding process, the temperature of the upper surface of the welding seam is highest due to the friction action of the shaft shoulder of the 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 welded 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 of the welding seam in the thickness direction is influenced, and the integral mechanical property of the welding seam is reduced. Therefore, friction stir welding of high-melting-point and high-strength materials such as titanium, steel, nickel and the like with large thickness becomes a difficulty at the present stage, and friction stir welding of dissimilar materials with large thickness, high-melting-point and high strength becomes more difficult.
In order to solve the friction stir welding problem of the large-thickness plate, researchers optimize and improve the friction stir welding in various aspects such as welding equipment, welding process and the like, but the effect is not very satisfactory. As disclosed in patent CN 103978304A, a friction stir welding process for thick plates is disclosed, in which symmetrical stepped grooves are formed in the thick plates, embedded strips which are identical to the plates are embedded in the pits, and butt welding between the thick plates is realized by friction stir butt welding of the thick plates with filler rods for multiple times, but the process is complex, and the main problem is that the upper filler rods and the lower filler rods are not effectively connected in the plate thickness direction, so that the upper filler rods and the lower filler rods become weak links of the whole welding piece, and the performance and the application range of the welding piece are affected. While patent CN 109483071A discloses a method for welding a large-thickness plate by laser-friction stir welding, in which the upper portion of the large-thickness plate is welded by laser welding and the lower portion is welded by friction stir welding, but the weld properties formed by the laser welding and the friction stir welding are greatly different, so that the welding properties of the thick plate in the thickness direction are inconsistent. Patent CN 109202265A discloses a heavy-duty friction stir welding robot, which is formed by serially connecting more than two parallel robots together step by step, and has serial and parallel characteristics, and a friction stir welding machine can be arranged on a headstock at the tail end of the serial 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 thickness. But the hybrid robot has a complex structure and high price.
Therefore, development and design of a friction stir welding device for high-thickness, high-melting-point and high-strength dissimilar materials have important economic, social and practical significance.
