Description

[Detailed description of the invention]

0001

[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to a welding auxiliary material, which
It mainly relates to a welding auxiliary material that is used to cover a welded part during welding, to block the outflow of molten metal, to mold the molten metal into a certain shape, or to isolate the welded part from the outside air.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in arc stud welding, a cylindrical welding aid 2 called an arc shield (ferrule) has been used, as shown in FIG. When welding the stud 4 to the workpiece 6, the arc shield 2 is fitted onto the stud 4 as shown in the figure to cover the welded part of the stud 4 (the lower end of the stud 4), and is used to insert molten metal into the mold. Isolate the welding area from the outside air.

[0003] Conventional arc shields are cylindrical, one is attached to each stud, and after welding, they are generally crushed with a hammer or the like and removed from the welded area, so they cannot be recycled again. It was an unusable consumable item.

[0004] On the other hand, for example,
As disclosed in Publication No. 69 and Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 141379/1980, a cylindrical arc shield is divided into a plurality of pieces, for example, two pieces, and these two arc shield pieces are connected and separated by a welding machine. The two arc shield segments are brought into contact and butted against each other to form a cylindrical arc shield, and the cylindrical arc shield covers the welded part of the stud as shown in FIG. A method has been proposed in which welding is performed, and after the welding is completed, both of the arc shield segments are separated from each other and removed from the welded stud. According to this method, arc stud welding can be repeated many times using the same arc shield.

[0005] When the arc shield is repeatedly used as described above, the arc shield becomes extremely hot during welding and easily breaks, so it must be made of a material with excellent thermal shock resistance. 1986-18
Publication No. 1269 mentions ceramics (the specific ceramic name is not listed), and JP-A No. 5
No. 9-141379 mentions silicon nitride ceramics.

[0006]

[Problems to be Solved by the Invention] By the way, there are many types of ceramics, each of which has different characteristics. Therefore, when forming an arc shield using ceramics, it is desirable to select and form a ceramic that better matches the properties required for the arc shield from among various ceramics, rather than simply forming it using any ceramic.

[0007] However, as mentioned above, the arc shield becomes extremely hot during welding (1300°C or higher), making it susceptible to deterioration and cracking, and since the inner surface is in contact with high-temperature molten metal, it is corroded by the high-temperature molten metal. Cheap. Therefore, especially in the case of an arc shield that is used repeatedly, it is required to have both excellent heat resistance and corrosion resistance. You may be required to be present.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a welding auxiliary material such as an arc shield that has excellent corrosion resistance and, in particular, sufficiently excellent heat resistance.

[0009]

[Means for Solving the Problems] In order to achieve the above object, the welding auxiliary material according to the present invention is made of zirconia (ZrO2
) is characterized by being made of ceramics containing.

[0010] When containing the above-mentioned zirconia,
The content is preferably 30% by weight or more, and more preferably 50% by weight or more. Moreover, it is more preferable if it is contained as a main component, that is, as a component with the highest content. In addition, as zirconia, CaO, M
Stabilized zirconia containing about 7 to 10% by weight of gO, Y2 O3, etc. as a solid solution to form a cubic crystal in all temperature ranges can be used.

[0011]

[Operation] Zirconia has high strength and corrosion resistance, and has a high melting point of 2700° C. or higher, and is particularly excellent in heat resistance.

[0012] The welding auxiliary material made of ceramics containing zirconia has the characteristics of zirconia,
Therefore, it has corrosion resistance against molten metal, and has a melting point of 2700°C or higher, which is a common welding temperature of 130°C.
Since there is sufficient margin for welding temperatures even higher than 0° C., there is very little material deterioration due to high temperatures during welding, and in this sense it has extremely excellent heat resistance.

Therefore, the welding auxiliary material made of ceramic containing zirconia has corrosion resistance and particularly excellent heat resistance, and is suitable for use when repeated use and particularly high heat resistance is required. be able to.

The arc shield segment 30 made of ceramic containing zirconia has the characteristics of zirconia and therefore has corrosion resistance against molten metal,
In addition, it has a melting point of 2700°C or higher, which has sufficient margin for welding temperatures even higher than the general welding temperature of 1300°C or higher, so there is very little material deterioration due to high temperatures during welding, and in this sense it is extremely It has excellent heat resistance.

Therefore, the arc shield divided body 30 has corrosion resistance and particularly excellent heat resistance, and even if it is used repeatedly, the inner surface of the arc shield divided body is less corroded by molten metal and is resistant to high temperatures. There is very little material deterioration, and it can be suitably used when repeated use and particularly high heat resistance is required.

[0023] It is preferable that the above-mentioned zirconia is contained in an amount of 30% by weight or more. This is because if the content is 30% by weight or more, the properties of zirconia can be exhibited to some extent in the ceramic, and if it is less than 30% by weight, the properties of zirconia are not exhibited very much. In this sense, it is more preferable that the zirconia is contained in an amount of 50% by weight or more, and it is more preferable that the zirconia is contained as a main component (the component with the highest content).

The welding auxiliary material made of ceramics containing zirconia according to the present invention can be used not only for the above-mentioned arc shield, but also for various other welding auxiliary materials, such as welding auxiliary materials (tabs) in joint arc welding between plates. It can also be applied as a welding auxiliary material (covering material) for joint welding of steel bars and steel bars.

Jig 104
are arranged, and under such conditions both end faces of the steel bar are welded by gas welding using a welding rod 106.

[0027] Also in the case of the tab 90 and the backing material 102,
Since it is made of ceramic containing zirconia, it has corrosion resistance and particularly excellent heat resistance, as in the case of the arc shield segment 30 described above.
