Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing corrosion-protected welding electrodes made of tungsten or a tungsten alloy.
- Tungsten forms corrosion layers at room temperature, in particular at elevated air humidity, which consist of a combination of tungsten with oxygen and nitrogen.
- Tungsten and tungsten alloys in particular those that are alloyed with oxidic additives such as thorium oxide, lanthanum oxide, cerium oxide or zirconium oxide, are materials that are also often used to produce welding electrodes for TIG welding (tungsten inert gas).
- Tungsten welding electrodes must have a low contact resistance, especially to the electrode holder, to ensure good ignitability and problem-free function.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a measure which sufficiently prevents the undesirable corrosion of welding electrodes made of tungsten or tungsten alloys.
- this is achieved in that the prefabricated welding electrodes are subjected to a heat treatment at temperatures between 300 ° C. and 500 ° C. in an oxidizing atmosphere.
- Such a temperature treatment specifically forms an oxide layer of W0 or W0 3-x on the surface of the welding electrodes.
- the formation of these oxide layers which have good electrical conductivity, reliably prevents the formation of undesirable corrosion layers with poor conductivity, and the welding electrodes have excellent ignitability and problem-free erosion behavior.
- the method according to the invention is suitable for pure tungsten as well as for all tungsten alloys usually used for welding electrodes.
- the method according to the invention is inexpensive. Before the heat treatment, which can be carried out in a drying cabinet, for example, it is necessary to carefully clean the welding electrodes of grease and dirt particles.
- the heating until the oxidation temperature is reached is advantageously carried out within a period of about 15 to 45 minutes, and the cooling to room temperature is advantageously carried out within a period of 30 to 60 minutes.
- the metallurgical properties of the welding electrodes are in no way negatively influenced by the oxidation treatment according to the invention. An oxidation treatment within a temperature range between 375 ° C and 430 ° C has proven to be particularly advantageous.
- a period of between 2 and 8 hours has proven particularly useful for the duration of the oxidation treatment.
- the surface oxide layers with layer thicknesses between 10 nm and 50 nm form, which on the one hand ensures good adhesive strength and on the other hand sufficient wear resistance of the oxide layers formed.
- a color marking is required to identify the electrode material.
- the following color markings are required for the following alloys:
- the color markings are usually made by lacquer strips at the end of the welding electrode, which is pushed into the electrode holder for the welding electrode. The color marking is often scraped off and the color is distributed over the contact zone with the electrode holder, so that there is also poor transition contact between the electrode holder and the electrode due to this layer of paint.
- Welding electrodes made of a tungsten alloy with 0.35 - 0.55% Th0 2 for which the color blue is prescribed.
- Welding electrodes made of a tungsten alloy with 2.8 - 3.2% Th0 2 for which the color violet is prescribed, as well as for
- Welding electrodes made of a tungsten alloy with 0.15 - 0.50% Zr0 2 , for which the color brown is prescribed.
- Oxidation treatment can be clearly achieved, an additional color marking by lacquers can be dispensed with, so that there can be no deterioration in the contact resistance between the welding electrode and the electrode holder.
- Example 1 welding electrodes with a length of 150 mm and a diameter of
- Wire drawing were made, were cleaned with acetone in an ultrasonic bath.
- Welding electrodes according to Example 1 were treated under the same conditions as in Example 1, with the exception of the treatment time.
- the treatment time in this case was 120 minutes.
- the welding electrodes were colored violet after this oxidation treatment.
- Welding electrodes according to Example 1 were treated under the same conditions as in Example 1, with the exception of the treatment temperature and the treatment time.
- the treatment temperature in this case was 450 ° C, the treatment time
- the welding electrodes were colored blue after this oxidation treatment.
- the further oxidation treatment was carried out with the exception of the treatment time as in Example 1.
- the treatment time in this case was 45 minutes.
- the welding electrodes were gold colored after this treatment.
- the welding electrodes produced in accordance with the examples were stored together with corresponding welding electrodes which were produced without oxidation treatment in a climatic chamber at 70 ° C., 98% atmospheric humidity, for 90 hours. After storage, the welding electrodes produced according to the invention had no optically recognizable surface changes that would indicate the formation of a corrosion layer. In a subsequent welding test, these welding electrodes showed good ignition friendliness and excellent burning behavior. In contrast, the welding electrodes, which were manufactured without oxidation treatment, showed clearly visible black spots that indicate the formation of a corrosion layer. In the subsequent welding test, the ease of ignition and the erosion behavior were significantly worse compared to the welding electrodes produced according to the invention.
