Stainless steel tube back side unprotect solid core welding wire backing welding connection technology
Technical field
The invention belongs to the welding field of Materials Processing Engineering, be mainly used in the welding of the austenitic stainless steel in fields such as oil, chemical industry, medicine, shipbuilding, food.
Background technology
The welding of stainless steel tube is made up of backing welding, filling weldering and cosmetic welding three parts usually, and wherein backing welding is a ring of most critical in the stainless steel pipes welding, and its back of weld problem of oxidation is difficult to satisfactory solution always.Stainless steel bottoming at present is divided into mainly that protective gas is filled at the back side and two kinds of protective gas are not filled at the back side.
1, the argon tungsten-arc welding that protective gas mainly is solid welding wire (rod) is filled at the back side
This is to use at most at present, and most widely used stainless steel tube solder technology is suitable for caliber 20~500mm, the stainless steel tube welding of wall thickness more than 3mm.
But back side applying argon gas, nitrogen, nitrogen hydrogen mixeding gas etc. are protected.The method of inflation has a variety of, but certain limitation is all arranged.
Preparation is more before this welding procedure weldering; when applying argon gas, nitrogen protection owing to do not have deoxidation or a dehydrogenation effect; oil removing before the butt welding, preparation such as derust, anhydrate require tighter; therefore, labor productivity is lower, and the amount of labour is bigger; complex process; the welding cost height, during the construction of high-altitude, long-distance pipe, back side argon filling almost is impossible especially at the scene.
2, not fill the welding method of the gas of protection mainly be the argon tungsten-arc welding of flux-cored wire (rod) at the back side.
Flux-cored wire (rod) argon arc welding bottoming was at first used by Japan in the eighties.Fixing port welding when this welding method mainly solves on-the-spot the installation.Its principle is to utilize the mechanism of slag gas shiled in the flux-cored wire (rod), and the slag that melts during welding can flow in the pipe and evenly cover sealing run, thereby has protected sealing run not oxidated.The postwelding slag can come off voluntarily, and water or compressed air can fall inner slag erosion.
The body protection need not inflated in stainless steel tube inside when the outstanding advantage of this welding method was welding, thereby had simplified welding procedure greatly, had reduced welding cost.But because the intrinsic characteristic of flux-cored wire itself, this welding method also exists certain defective: one, because the flux-cored wire burn-off rate is fast, the welder needs rapidly and accurately welding wire to be delivered to the tram, thereby requires welder's operant level to want high; Can produce slag when two, feeling secure, not have solid core welding wire clear when the welder observes the molten bath, be difficult for judging back side penetration situation with flux-cored wire.Three, owing to be medicinal powder in the middle of the flux-cored wire, skin is a sheetmetal, and electric arc is around the sheetmetal burning during welding, and the migration that easily produces electric arc causes the electric arc swing, influences the fusion of stainless steel tube both sides.
In addition, because this method produces slag at back of weld, and be not suitable for the welding of pure pipeline (as the food service industry stainless steel pipes).
Summary of the invention
The present invention adopts the stainless steel solid core welding wire to cooperate multi component mixed gas body (He+Ar+CO
2) stainless steel pipes is felt secure; the back side need not gas shield; break through the argon tungsten-arc welding bottoming technology and the back side of traditional back side argon-filled protection and do not protected the essential mechanism that adopts slag gas Combined Protection; the molten bath as seen; do not have slag to cover, stainless steel pipes backing welding connection technology level is stepped a stage.
The present invention compares with back side argon filling argon tungsten-arc welding, and the back side need not protective gas, can reduce weldering preceding preparation and the required expense of argon filling, thereby can enhance productivity, and reduces production costs.Because of the back side need not protective gas, be particularly useful for big diameter stainless steel pipe road, long welding procedure apart from stainless steel pipes, on-the-spot work high above the ground etc.
The present invention compares with the flux-cored wire argon tungsten-arc welding, on the one hand, and molten bath visibility height, the welder can clearly observe the flow regime in molten bath and judge back of weld penetration situation, thereby can be easier to control appearance of weld, therefore, less demanding to welder's technical merit.On the other hand, owing to adopt solid core welding wire, postwelding need not scarfing cinder, can reduce the cleaning work of postwelding, is particularly useful for the welding of the pure pipeline of austenitic stainless steel.
Through domestic and international patent is retrieved, not seeing has relevant patent report.
The present invention adopts solid core welding wire ER308L-Si and ER316L-Si to cooperate multi component mixed gas body (He+Ar+CO
2) be used for the bottoming welding in A304, A304L, A316, A316L Austenitic stainless steel pipe road.
The invention provides a kind of stainless steel tube back side unprotect solid core welding wire backing welding connection technology, it is characterized in that, adopt solid core welding wire ER308L-Si or ER316L-Si to cooperate proportioning to be: the volumn concentration of helium is 85~94%; The volumn concentration of argon gas is 5~10%; The volumn concentration of carbon dioxide is 1%~5% multi component mixed gas body (He+Ar+CO
2) carry out the bottoming welding of stainless steel pipes according to the welding variables of routine.
The diameter of solid core welding wire ER308L-Si and ER316L-Si is respectively 2mm, 2.4mm.
Diameter is the welding wire of 2mm, and its welding variables is as follows:
Welding current: 80A~130A weldingvoltage: 10V~16V gas flow: 10~20L/min
Diameter is the welding wire of 2.4mm, and its welding variables is as follows:
Welding current: 90A~150A weldingvoltage: 12V~18V gas flow: 10~20L/min
Solid core welding wire ER308L-Si and ER316L-Si are the Silicon-rich welding wire.Silicone content improves, and can increase the flowability of weld metal on the one hand, helps the effusion of gas; On the other hand, in welding process, the silicon of back of weld is preferential and airborne oxygen combination when high temperature, has played the effect of protection sealing run metal, helps preventing the back of weld oxidation.
The effect of multi component mixed gas body and percent by volume are:
He: monatomic inert gas, thermal conductivity factor is big, and its biggest advantage is an electric arc when burning in He gas, and arc temperature height, arc voltage are also higher, and therefore, the input of mother metal heat is bigger, thereby can improve weld penetration.Add helium in the multi component mixed gas body, can improve speed of welding, be about twice, thereby can reduce the high-temperature residence time of sealing run metal, help preventing the sealing run oxidation in argon tungsten-arc welding.Its volumn concentration is: 85~94%.
Ar: monatomic inert gas, thermal conductivity factor is very little, is difficult for dividing heat of desorption during high temperature.Therefore arc burning is highly stable in the argon gas, and thermal loss is also less.When making protection gas, be difficult for floating scattering and disappearing, can prevent airborne oxygen intrusion with argon gas.In addition, add argon gas in the mist, also can reduce and splash.Its volumn concentration is: 5~10%.
The He+Ar mist can improve weld penetration, minimizing pore and boost productivity.
CO
2: oxidizing gas adds CO in the mist
2Gas can strengthen on the one hand the penetration power of electric arc, increases fusion penetration, improves the melting efficiency of welding wire, can overcome problems such as negative electrode drift phenomenon and appearance of weld be bad on the one hand again.Its volumn concentration is 1%~5%.
