Background technology
Britain's institute of welding (TWI) has been invented friction stir welding (Friction Stir Welding is called for short FSW) in 1991, this is a kind of solid phase interconnection technique of innovation, and this derives from technology relatively is applicable to the welding of long straight weld in traditional friction welding (FW).Compare with traditional fusion welding method; agitating friction welding has that weld grain is tiny, smoke dust, without splash, pore-free, the gas that do not need protection when need not scolder, welding, the postwelding workpiece stress is little and be out of shape the advantages such as little, is particularly suitable for the welding of aluminium alloy.
friction stir welding is a kind of continuous solid phase connecting method of pure mechanization, as shown in Figure 1, in welding process, the soldering tip rotation of special shaft shoulder of cylindricality band and pin protruding (being stirring-head), stirring-head slowly inserts the place to be welded of welded piece, fricting shearing resistance between stirring-head and materials to be welded has produced frictional heat, make material softening generation plastic deformation, when soldering tip is activated when moving forward along interface to be welded, the material of thermoplastification is shifted to the rear portion by the front portion of stirring-head, and under the forging effect of the soldering tip shaft shoulder, realize that the solid phase between workpiece connects.
In the process of carrying out friction stir welding, workpiece need to compress with pressing plate, when the weld seam of workpiece is a polygon or closed curve or when irregularly shaped, take the rectangle weld seam as example, the square cross of one hollow is positioned at the outside of another square cross, the square cross of this hollow is called outer workpiece, and another square cross is called interior workpiece, and pressing plate need to stretch out and stride across weld seam from outer workpiece surrounding and be pressed in and be positioned on workpiece.When welding, what soldering tip was walked is the square track of a sealing like this, and pressing plate can block the operation of soldering tip in the soldering tip moving process, therefore needs the fixture that can automatically control.At present, the opening and closing of pressing plate are mainly controlled by the pressing plate cylinder, the pressing plate cylinder is realized controlling by photoelectric sensor, when stirring welding, soldering tip can produce the material that is extruded of strip, these are extruded material can cause interference to photoelectric sensor, and then causes the misoperation of pressing plate cylinder.
