Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of welding, in particular to a PTA welding method of double-path powder feeding electric arc mixed powder alloying.
Background
At present, high-hardness wear-resistant alloy is needed in various industries, such as petroleum drilling, coal transportation, mining machinery and the like. In the application of wear-resistant materials, the general hard alloy with larger density such as WC, W2C and the like is preferred, the hardness can reach 1800HRC-2000HRC, the melting point is more than 3000 degrees, the density is more than 15g/cm < 3 >, the wear-resistant hard alloy is used as a wear-resistant hard phase and is in hard collision with sandstone ore to play a role in protecting a matrix, and the wear-resistant hard alloy can only be used as the hard phase because the wear-resistant hard alloy has higher hardness and brittleness and cannot be combined with the matrix material. In order to ensure that the bonding phase is generally used for bonding with a matrix material, high-temperature-resistant and high-hardness cobalt-based and nickel-based or iron-based materials with good toughness are selected as the bonding phase according to different use environments, and the density of the materials of the bonding phase is less than 8g/cm 3 The melting point is less than 1500 ℃, and the melting point is lower than that of a hard phase.
At present, bonding phase powder and hard phase powder with a set proportion are mixed according to requirements in the market, and the mixture is filled in a bottle and is led into a powder feeder to start welding, but a plurality of problems are caused, and the main reasons are as follows:
the process is as follows: the liquid molten pool can be melted when cobalt-based or nickel-based of the liquid molten pool reaches a liquidus line in a welding process, WC and W2C can not be melted at the moment, and can exist in the liquid molten pool in a solid form, the liquid molten pool can be settled to the bottom of the molten pool due to the large specific gravity, the WC and W2C can cause the welding layer to fall off due to the ultrahigh hardness of the root of the welding line after settlement, in addition, the upper half part of the welding line after settlement is free of a hard phase, the outer surface of the welding line at the moment is attractive but smooth without any small salient point, and the welding line cannot play a wear-resisting role and loses the design effect because the hard phase is too heavy and subsides. In practical operation, the mixed powder is generally subjected to overlaying welding by using 3 processes of PTA, laser cladding and flame spray welding, firstly, the flame spray welding belongs to a brazing process, and the main problems are that the bonding force is insufficient, and a welding layer is peeled off in hard-to-hard friction. In addition, the flame can cause the decomposition of C and W due to the overlong heating time of WC and W2C, and the use cannot be realized. Secondly, the PTA process is a standard PTA powder feeding process, powder is fed in 2 holes, 4 holes or 6 holes and 12 holes, the powder is focused at one position, WC and W2C are extremely easy to settle and cannot be controlled during welding, the solidification speed of a molten pool is accelerated by widening a welding line in the industry at present to ensure that a hard phase cannot settle, so that the accessibility is reduced greatly, for example, a narrow welding line cannot be used. Finally, laser cladding welding can solve the problem of hard phase sedimentation, but the effect of the laser cladding welding is similar to that of flame welding, the welding layer cannot be thickened due to insufficient bonding force, so that the peeling phenomenon is caused, and in addition, the laser cladding welding efficiency is too low, the equipment cost is high, and the production requirement cannot be met.
On the powder: the powder on the market can be mixed with the matrix phase and the hard phase according to the proportion requirement of customers, and the mixture is bottled and transported to be sent to the customers for use, wherein the weight of each bottle is 5kg. In the process, 2 problems are generated, firstly, the proportion of mixed powder is 5KG, after welding microscopic amplification test, the proportion of each bottle after welding can not be controlled to be the same, the error is within +/-4%, for example, cobalt-based +55% WC is required, the proportion of actual WC in cobalt-based is only 49% -51%, the requirement on welding arc is high due to larger difference, and the proportion of WC needs to be larger due to experiment under the condition of the same welding parameters. In addition, when the mixed powder is in transportation process, due to the shaking of vehicles, WC and W2C powder in the bottle can be layered to the bottom of the bottle due to the high density relationship, and when the mixed powder is directly used, segregation can be caused by the bonding phase in the weld metal and the hard phase, namely, the hard phase is unevenly distributed in the weld. Through experimental tests, when a bottle mixed with powder is placed on a plane and fixed, the bulk ratio of the powder is different from that of a bonding phase because the density of WC and W2C is higher, WC and W2C can settle downwards along with the increase of time, and the proportion of the mixed powder is inconsistent. In the above 2 cases, the powder can not be used, mainly because the hard phase is unevenly distributed in the weld metal, which results in the wear resistance of the weld and even the block falling to affect the service state.
