Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for plasma welding according to claim 1.
- Tungsten inert gas welding Tungsten inert gas welding
- MAG metal active gas welding
- TIG welding an arc burns between a non-consumable one Tungsten electrode and the workpiece, wherein the workpiece is melted.
- the arc has a divergence angle of about 45 °. That means the distance between TIG torch and workpiece significantly affects the power density and this overall is comparatively low. Due to the high thermal conductivity A considerable proportion of the heat flows into the environment of the metals Weld off. At a limited by the life of the electrode current and thus also limited arc power result from it relatively small welding speeds.
- the plasma jet at different Plasma welding process are constricted, thereby reducing the Arc divergence to about 10 ° (visually) can be effected.
- This is at the technically usual distances between plasma torch and workpiece a higher Power density and resulting at identical arc performance a higher Welding speed reached.
- a disadvantage of the described method is that the possible current intensity limited by the life of the electrodes and thus the welding speed is limited. This leads to a high heat load of Component, wide heat affected zones and beyond to a considerable delay of the workpiece.
- the object of the invention is to specify a new method for plasma welding, which avoids the disadvantages of the prior art.
- the ignition of the gas mixture takes place in particular by absorption of electromagnetic Radiation in the radio frequency range. But it is also possible that the gas mixture by absorption of electromagnetic radiation from the Microwave range can be ignited.
- the coupling of the radio frequency energy in the gas mixture is carried out inductively by means of the wound around the RF-transparent tube Coupling coil.
- the coupling coil can be configured such that a optimal coupling of the electromagnetic energy in the gas mixture possible is.
- the pilot plasma can advantageously in a high-current arc discharge or in a electrodeless microwave discharge are generated.
- an already ionized gas enters the RF transparent Pipe. There, the ionized gas is mixed with the second process gas.
- the ignition threshold becomes Ignition of the gas mixture from the pilot plasma gas and the second process gas reduced. It is thus generated a high-energy plasma, in which almost the entire Radio frequency energy can be coupled.
- the RF transparent tube is advantageously a tube with dielectric properties.
- a tube made of SiO 2 or Al 2 O 3 in each case pure form without doping is used as rf-transparent tube.
- the properties of the plasma jet with respect to a reduced diameter and a reduced beam angle divergence are improved.
- the cylindrically symmetrical plasma jet propagates in parallel in the method according to the invention, whereby the influence of the change in distance between burner and workpiece on the Einbrandform of the plasma jet is reduced in the workpiece.
- Another advantage is that it improves the accessibility to the plasma jet, caused by a larger possible distance between burner and workpiece.
- the tangential feed of the second process gas supports the invention Generation of a plasma beam with low beam angle divergence.
- Radial acceleration caused by the cross-sectional constriction of the expansion nozzle in Direction of the nozzle exit is further amplified, the non-uniform move accelerated free charge carriers in the direction of the expansion nozzle outlet ever narrower spiral paths, causing the centripetal acceleration of the charge carriers increases.
- This movement is by the charge carriers even after exit retained from the expansion nozzle in the work space. Because of the different Ion and electron mobility locally no charge neutrality is present an axially oriented magnetic field is induced in the plasma jet, which leads to a Flow constriction of the plasma jet after exiting the nozzle leads.
- the inventive Plasma beam by means of inexpensive and robust radio frequency systems, e.g. Oscillating circuit systems with a frequency of approx. 300 kHz up to the typical UHF range (about 1 -150 MHz) can be generated.
- radio frequency systems e.g. Oscillating circuit systems with a frequency of approx. 300 kHz up to the typical UHF range (about 1 -150 MHz)
- the energy efficiency increased compared to conventional plasma welding processes is also the energy efficiency increased compared to conventional plasma welding processes. So it is possible generate radio frequency-induced plasmas involving power coupling is greater than 90%. This results in comparison to welding processes with high-power diodes a 1.5 times and compared to laser welding a 20 times greater energy efficiency.
- the second Process gas before entering the inductive coupling path ie before entering the RF-transparent Working tube, powder is supplied.
- the invention Use method as a powder deposition welding process.
- the plasma jet after exiting the expansion nozzle to supply the powder.
- Another advantage of the plasma welding process according to the invention is that the Heat affected zone of the plasma jet is significantly reduced on the workpiece, What a lower heat input, a reduced workpiece distortion and a Reduction of the material damage has the consequence.
- a low-defect welding regarding less edge notches and low porosity of the weld allows.
- the second process gas is in such the inductive coupling zone is introduced, e.g. by means of one or more nozzles that the second process gas flowing into the pipe has a tangential and an inward direction the gas outlet opening of the pipe directed axial flow component having.
- the metallic expansion nozzle seen in the flow direction of the plasma, the plasma side a convergent Inlet and plasma jet side on a free or divergent spout.
- the flow velocity of the charge carriers of the plasma is convergent Enema up to the divergent spout increased.
- FIGURE shows a possible embodiment for carrying out the invention Process.
- a pilot plasma torch 1 receives a first process gas (not shown), e.g. Nitrogen, fed.
- a pilot plasma 2 is generated, which is passed into a rf-transparent working tube 3.
- the working tube 3 has a gas inlet opening 4 and a gas outlet opening 5.
- a second process gas 6 in the working tube 3 initiated.
- the supply of the second process gas 6 takes place in such a way that the second process gas 6 has a tangential and one in the direction of the gas outlet opening 5 directed axial flow component (not shown).
- the working tube 3 is wrapped with a coupling coil 13, which by means of a not shown radio frequency energy is supplied.
- a coupling coil 13 which by means of a not shown radio frequency energy is supplied.
- absorption of Radio energy is in the area 14, in which the working tube 3 from the coupling coil 13 is wound, a rf plasma 7 ignited.
- a metallic expansion nozzle 10 attached at the gas outlet opening 5 of the working tube 3 .
- the expansion nozzle 10 has on its underside, so at the rf plasma 7 facing side a convergent inlet 11. By this narrowing become the charge carriers in the plasma 7 up to the outlet opening 15 always accelerated further.
- the rf plasma 7 then passes as a plasma jet 8 through the outlet opening 15 of the expansion nozzle 10 in the working space 9 a.
- the outlet 12 of the expansion nozzle 10 is shown in the present illustration as a divergent outlet. However, it is also any other outlet form, e.g. a free outlet possible.
