Self-adaptive adjustable double-wire consumable electrode arc welding device and method
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of welding, and particularly relates to a self-adaptive adjustable double-wire consumable electrode arc welding device and method.
Background
High nitrogen steel is more and more widely concerned due to the unique advantages of high strength, good toughness, no magnetism, good corrosion resistance, low sensitivity to intergranular corrosion and the like, and is more connected by adopting a welding method in engineering application. Austenitic stainless steel with nitrogen content over 0.4% is generally called high nitrogen steel, but nitrogen as a strong austenite stabilizing element has different solubility in liquid and solid metals, which causes nitrogen in a molten pool and a high nitrogen steel welding wire to easily overflow during welding, so that molten drop transition is unstable, and defects such as air holes are formed.
When the single-wire consumable electrode arc welding process is adopted to weld high-nitrogen steel, in order to obtain larger penetration depth and good weld joint forming, large-current welding is generally adopted, and when a groove thick plate is welded, the accessibility of a welding wire is better, but larger heat input causes larger splashing, and the cladding rate of the welding wire is lower. When the twin-wire consumable electrode arc welding process is adopted to weld high-nitrogen steel, although the welding efficiency is higher, the size of a molten pool is larger, and the twin-wire welding parameters of a welding gun can be independently adjusted, small-current welding can be adopted, the penetration is not less than that of a single wire when the large current is obtained, and the welding spatter is also smaller. However, for the welding of a thick plate with a groove, when the last welding seam is welded, the welding bead gap may be smaller than the distance between the double wires, the deflection angle of the welding wire needs to be manually adjusted, the operation is complex, and the production efficiency is reduced to a certain extent. Meanwhile, due to the overlapping problem, the welding wire on one side is positioned on the welding seam on the previous welding seam, so that the electric arc voltage is reduced, the weld fusion width is reduced, a double-wire co-melting pool is not facilitated, and certain influence is caused on the forming quality of the welding seam.
