Technical Field

The invention belongs to the technical field of welding, and particularly relates to a welding drag cover suitable for titanium alloy and a welding method.

Background

The titanium and the titanium alloy have stronger high-temperature activity, and begin to absorb hydrogen at 250 ℃, and begin to absorb oxygen at 400 ℃ and nitrogen at 600 ℃. When the protective measures are not appropriate during the welding process, the weld joint absorbs these harmful gases, which deteriorates the joint performance. Among them, the influence of oxygen is the most serious, which causes severe oxidation of the high temperature weld metal, so proper protection measures must be taken for the welding area above 400 ℃ to avoid contacting air.

At present, argon is generally adopted as protective gas in engineering and research, and a method of dragging and covering the argon is adopted to protect the high-temperature welding line, so that the high-temperature welding line with the temperature of more than 400 ℃ and a heat affected zone are prevented from contacting air. In the prior art, argon is used as inert shielding gas for high-power welding of titanium alloy medium-thickness plates, and the method has a good protection effect under a proper dragging cover structure and argon flow, but the method has high argon consumption and high shielding gas cost. In addition, the argon heat dissipation capacity is weak, a long dragging cover is required to be equipped to obtain a good protection effect, and the space flexibility of the welding equipment is reduced.

Detailed Description

The invention is based on the analysis of non-isothermal oxidation test results, and compared with air, the invention has the advantages of CO₂More difficult to react with titanium alloys, CO₂Contacting titanium alloys below 900 deg. causes little to no significant oxidation problems. Thus CO₂Can be used as a protective gas for titanium alloy high-temperature welding lines, and CO₂Has stronger heat conductivity and heat capacity than argon. On the premise of not influencing the gas protection effect, the invention explores CO₂The application of gas in titanium alloy welding protection is used for researching argon and CO₂The structure form of the dragging cover with double protective gases is improved on the basis of the original welding dragging cover, the head part (the part close to the welding gun 1) of the dragging cover is still filled with argon for protection, and the tail part of the dragging cover is filled with CO for protection₂Gas is used for protection to form argon and CO₂The double-protection gas titanium alloy welding drag cover is mainly applied to high-power welding of titanium alloy medium and thick plates, and can effectively reduce the cost of welding protection gas and shorten the length of the drag cover compared with the method of only using argon gas as the protection gas.

As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the present invention provides argon and CO₂The double-shielding gas titanium alloy welding drag cover comprises a drag cover shell 3, an intermediate baffle plate 2, a gas screen 4 and argonGas inlet pipe 5, argon distribution pipe 6 and CO₂Distribution pipe 7, CO₂An intake pipe 8.

The drag cover shell 3 is a rigid shell and is fixed on a nozzle of the welding gun 1, and the lower edge of the drag cover shell 3 is positioned 10-15mm below the tail end of the nozzle, so that the lower edge of the drag cover shell 3 is well jointed with a workpiece to be welded. The welding gun 1 performs a welding operation, mainly conducting electricity and guiding wires during welding. The edge of the structure of the dragging cover shell 3 is smoothly transited as much as possible without dead angles so that the protective gas completely replaces the air inside; in addition, the joint needs to be sealed, so that the phenomenon that air is involved in the small gap due to turbulent flow caused by overlarge flow velocity is avoided.

The intermediate partition 2 is arranged inside the drag housing 3 and forms a sealed connection with the drag housing 3, dividing the drag housing 3 into a first section and a second section, wherein the first section is closer to the welding gun 1. The first section and the second section both meet the requirement of gas tightness, and the middle partition plate 2 isolates the gas of the first section and the second section. The first section is used for protecting a high-temperature region of a welding seam with the temperature of more than 900 ℃, and the second section is used for protecting a high-temperature region of the welding seam with the temperature of less than 900 ℃ and more than 400 ℃.

Further, the length of the first section is 30-50 mm. The length of the second segment is the product of the actual welding speed (mm/s) and the cooling time(s), wherein the cooling time is the time required for the weld to cool from 900 ℃ to 400 ℃, and the value of the second segment under the conventional welding heat input is in the range of 20-30 s.

The air screen 4 is arranged at the bottom of the drag cover shell 3 and is made of high-count copper mesh or stainless steel mesh. The distance between the gas screen 4 and the surface of the welding seam is 10-15mm, if the distance is too small, the gas flowing out of the upper chamber reaches the surface of the welding seam without forming stable laminar flow, and if the distance is too large, turbulent flow is easily generated, so that the distance is too small or too large, and a good protection effect cannot be achieved. The gas screen 4 is a consumable material commonly used for welding a dragging cover, and for example, a 400-mesh commercial copper mesh can be adopted.

The argon gas distribution pipe 6 is arranged inside the first section of the drag cover housing 3 for evenly distributing argon gas inside the first section. 5 one end of argon gas intake pipe and 6 intercommunications of argon gas distribution pipe, argon gas supply unit are connected to one end for continuously let in argon gas to argon gas distribution pipe 6.

CO₂The distribution pipe 7 is arranged inside the second section of the drag hood housing 3 for evenly distributing argon gas inside the second section. CO 2₂One end of the air inlet pipe 8 and CO₂The distribution pipes 7 are communicated, and one end is connected with CO₂Gas supply means for supplying CO₂The distribution pipe 7 is continuously filled with CO₂A gas.

Based on the above argon and CO₂The welding method of the double shielding gas titanium alloy welding drag cover comprises the following working processes:

(1) preparing before welding:

fixing the welded workpiece, and cleaning oil stains and water on the surface of the workpiece; if necessary, beveling is performed.

And (3) assembling the welding drag cover to the nozzle of the welding gun 1, and properly adjusting the assembling height of the welding drag cover to ensure that the lower edge of the welding drag cover is well attached to the surface of the workpiece to be welded.

Preheating before welding: and if necessary, performing pre-welding preheating treatment on the workpiece to be welded.

Air supply in advance: argon enters an argon distribution pipe 6 through an argon inlet pipe 5 so as to uniformly cover the surface of the welding line; with CO₂Gas passing through CO₂An inlet pipe 8 for introducing CO₂And the distribution pipe 7 is used for exhausting air on the surface of the welding seam and protecting the welding seam.

(2) And (3) welding:

the operator performs normal welding operations.

During welding, argon and CO₂The gas passes through an argon inlet pipe 5 and CO respectively₂The gas inlet pipe 8 is continuously supplied to protect the arc, the molten pool and the base metal in the vicinity thereof from the harmful effects of the surrounding air.

(3) Post-weld treatment

And (3) delayed air supply: and stopping air supply after the welding seam is cooled.

And (3) oxidation condition inspection and treatment: observing the oxidation color of the surface of the welding line, and if the surface of the welding line presents silvery white metallic luster, indicating that the protection effect is good and no obvious oxidation exists; if the welding line is faint yellow, the slight oxidation is shown, and the stainless steel wire wheel is adopted for polishing until the surface oxidation color is removed; if the welding seam is bluish purple and even has an obvious oxide film which is easy to fall off, the protection effect is poor, the joint condition of the welding drag cover and the welded workpiece needs to be checked, the flow of the protective gas of the welding drag cover is properly adjusted, and the flow of the protective gas generally needs to be properly increased.

Drag cover related data based on the welding test were calculated as follows:

a. original drag cover length:

taking a titanium alloy single-layer single-pass surfacing Welding seam under a Pulse Arc Welding-Pulse (GMAW-P) Welding process as an example, the influence of Welding parameters on a Welding drag cover is explained. Fig. 4 shows a temperature curve of a titanium alloy single-layer single-pass surfacing welding seam in a GMAW-P welding process, a base material test plate is a 3mm thick dual-phase titanium alloy, a welding wire is a TC4 titanium alloy welding wire with a phi of 1.2mm, and welding process parameters are as follows: welding current I is 150A; welding voltage U is 17V; the welding speed Vw is 8 mm/s. It is believed that titanium alloys begin to absorb oxygen at 400 c, and therefore protect the high temperature weld zone above 400 c. From fig. 4 it can be seen that cooling from the maximum temperature to 400 c after solidification of the weld pool takes about 30s, and in combination with the welding speed, the required original drag shield length can be simply calculated as:

L₁＝t_c*v_w＝29s*8mm/s＝232mm

wherein L is₁For welding the trailing shield by conventional argon gas introduction, t_cThe time required for cooling from the maximum temperature to 400 ℃ after solidification of the molten bath, v_wIs the welding speed.

b. The two-section welding drag cover of the invention is compared with the original drag cover structure:

the invention adopts a two-section welding drag cover and adopts CO aiming at a high-temperature interval below 900 DEG C₂Protection was performed instead of Ar. This allows for shorter weld drag cover lengths and lower shielding gas costs, both of which are quantitatively calculated.

Firstly, quantitative calculation of the shortening of the length of the welding drag cover is carried out:

the protective gas flowing out of the welding drag cover can protect the high-temperature welding line in an inert gas atmosphere; and laminar flow protective gas is blown to the surface of the high-temperature welding seam,the resulting forced convection effect may carry away a portion of the heat. Under the forced convection cooling model, the cooling effect of the gas is in direct proportion to the heat conductivity and the specific heat capacity of the protective gas. CO 2₂The relevant thermophysical properties of Ar and Ar are listed in table 1.

TABLE 1 CO₂Comparison with the relevant thermophysical Properties of Ar

Therefore, when the temperature is below 900 ℃, the welding seam adopts CO in the temperature range₂When protection and cooling are carried out instead of Ar, the ratio of the cooling time of the protection and the cooling is as follows:

wherein, t_CO2Introducing CO into the tail cover under the same other conditions₂Cooling time of the welded seam, t_ArCooling time of weld joint when introducing Ar into the tail cover under the same other conditions, C_P(CO₂) Is CO₂Constant pressure specific heat capacity, lambda_CO2Is CO₂Thermal conductivity of (C)_P(Ar) is the constant pressure specific heat capacity of Ar, lambda_ArThe thermal conductivity of Ar is shown.

The length of the two-section welding drag cover adopting the invention is as follows:

ΔL＝L₁-L₂＝232mm-162.7mm＝69。3mm

wherein L is₂The length of the two-section welding drag cover of the invention, t₁Time required for the weld to cool from peak temperature to 900 deg.C, t₂Cooling the weld from 900 ℃ to 4Time required at 00 ℃ t_CO2Introducing CO into the tail cover under the same other conditions₂Cooling time of the welded seam, t_ArCooling time of the weld joint when introducing Ar into the tail cover under the same other conditions, v_wIs the welding speed; delta L is the difference between the length of the two-section welding drag cover of the present invention and the length of the original drag cover, L₁For the original length of the towing hood, L₂The length of the two-section welding drag cover is the length of the two-section welding drag cover.

Therefore, the two-section welding drag cover can shorten the length of the traditional original drag cover by about 70mm, and compared with the length of the original drag cover, the length of the traditional original drag cover is shortened by 31.5 percent.

Besides the shortening of the length of the welding drag cover, the technical scheme of the invention can also obviously reduce the cost of the shielding gas.

And (II) carrying out simple quantitative calculation on the cost of reducing the protective gas based on the results:

CO currently on the market₂The price is 80 yuan/40L, and the price of Ar is 150 yuan/40L. Assuming that the flow of protective gas required by the unit length of the welding drag cover is constant, the ratio of the gas cost consumed by the two-section welding drag cover structure of the invention to the original drag cover structure is as follows:

wherein, C₁Cost of gas consumed for the conventional argon gas-filled hood, C₂The gas cost of the two-section welding drag cover of the invention.

Therefore, compared with the original ventilation mode of the two-section welding drag cover, the two-section welding drag cover can reduce the cost of shielding gas by 56.2 percent.

The above examples show that the two-segment welding drag mask of the present invention protects the high temperature region above 900 ℃ of the weld near the first segment of the weld, the length of the segment is the product of the time required for the peak temperature of the weld to cool to 900 ℃ and the welding speed, the time required for the weld to cool from the peak temperature to 900 ℃ under the conventional welding heat input is short, about 3-6s, and the length of the first segment in this welding example is 32mm, so the preferred range of the length of the first segment is 30-60mm after the Ar protection range is properly expanded; the second segment is used for protecting the welding seam area below 900 ℃ and above 400 ℃, and the length of the segment is the product of the time required for the welding seam to cool from 900 ℃ to 400 ℃ and the welding speed, and the cooling time is 20s-30s under the conventional welding heat input.

Therefore, the invention provides argon and CO₂Double protective gas titanium alloy welding drag cover and welding method, adopting CO₂The gas replaces partial Ar to be used as protective gas when the high-temperature weld metal is naturally cooled, and CO is utilized₂High density, designing CO₂And (3) carrying out gas and argon double-gas titanium alloy welding protection. Due to CO₂Thermal conductivity similar to that of Ar, but CO₂Has larger specific heat capacity, therefore, CO is adopted when the drag cover protective gas cools the high-temperature welding seam₂And the replacement part of Ar can play a better cooling effect, so that the length of the dragging cover is shortened. CO 2₂The price is far lower than that of Ar, so that the cost of the welding protective gas can be obviously reduced. In addition, the density of argon is 1.634g/L and CO is added under the standard atmospheric pressure of 25 DEG C₂Has a density of 1.808g/L and an air density of 1.169g/L under the same conditions, and therefore, CO₂The density of the gas is larger, the coverage is better, and a better protection effect can be obtained.

The argon and CO of the present invention are illustrated by the following two examples of welding₂The double shielding gas titanium alloy welding drag cover and the welding method are further explained as follows:

(1) welding example of long straight weld:

typical process parameters of the titanium alloy single-layer single-pass long straight weld joint welding are shown in table 2, and related technical parameters of a welding drag cover to be adopted are shown in table 3.

TABLE 2 welding Process parameters for Long straight weld

TABLE 3 two-stage welding drag cover technical parameter table of long straight welding seam

Wherein the argon distribution pipe 6 and CO in the welding drag cover₂The distribution pipe 7 is made of a stainless steel pipe with the diameter of 6 mm multiplied by 1mm, the argon distribution pipe 6 and CO₂Two rows of small holes with the diameter of 0.8-1.0 mm are drilled in the distribution pipe 7, and the hole pitch is 8-10 mm; the air screen 4 is formed by a single-layer or multi-layer copper mesh with about 200 meshes.

(2) Examples of welding of the girth weld:

the annular welding seam is similar to the welding drag cover structure of the long straight welding seam, but the annular drag cover shell 3 structure with corresponding radian is designed according to the pipe diameter. In order to prevent the welding gun 1 from dragging the welding drag cover and being clamped in the relative rotation process of the welded pipe fitting, the curvature radius of the lower radian of the drag cover shell 3 is usually slightly larger than the outer diameter of the pipe and can be about 1.2 times of the outer diameter of the pipe. The pipe can not be interfered by the rotation of the pipe while realizing good laminating effect.

The size of the drag cover shell 3 of the annular welding seam in the length direction of the welding seam can be represented by the arc length of the lower edge of the drag cover shell 3, and for the titanium alloy pipeline with the middle-thick wall and the specification of phi 219 multiplied by 8.8mm, the related technical parameters of the annular welding drag cover can be shown in a table 4.

TABLE 4 technical parameter table of two-section type front and rear dragging cover of circular weld

A part of the protective gas introduced into the welding gun also enters the welding drag cover. Therefore, in some cases, the first section of the two-section welding drag cover designed by the invention can not be filled with argon any more, namely the argon flow of the first section can be set to be 0L/min, and the consumption of gas is further reduced.

The theoretical basis of the invention is as follows: after experimental research on the titanium alloy oxidation problem through a welding oxidation test platform designed by the applicant, the titanium alloy is found to be in CO along with the temperature rise₂And cooling in air atmosphereThe degree of post-oxidation is all exacerbated. However, compared with the air atmosphere, the titanium alloy is in CO₂Titanium alloy and CO having less tendency to oxidize in gas atmosphere₂The critical reaction temperature of (a) is approximately 900 ℃. Thus using CO₂The protective gas used as the titanium alloy high-temperature welding line has certain feasibility, and CO can be adopted₂Protecting the titanium alloy high-temperature welding line below 900 ℃.

The applicant carries out a non-isothermal oxidation test simulating welding through a self-designed non-isothermal test platform.

To explore CO₂As feasibility of titanium alloy high-temperature welding line protective gas, the applicant designs the titanium alloy in CO by self₂Non-isothermal oxidation in an atmosphere was tested and compared to an air atmosphere. The test achieves the following conditions: the titanium alloy sample undergoes welding thermal cycle similar to that in the actual welding process, namely, the instantaneity of the welding thermal process, and has the characteristics of high heating speed, short high-temperature retention time and high cooling speed: secondly, the solidification stage and the initial cooling stage of the molten pool are under the protection of inert atmosphere argon, and can be quickly transferred to CO when being cooled to a certain temperature₂In the atmosphere.

Therefore, a non-isothermal oxidation test platform of the titanium alloy is built, and the non-isothermal oxidation test platform mainly comprises a non-melting Inert Gas (TIG) welding gun, an atmosphere box body and an infrared pyrometer. The size of the sample is 20 × 9mm, the surface is ground to be bright by 400-mesh abrasive paper, the TIG electric arc with the current of 120A is adopted to carry out fixed-point self-melting welding for 10s at the central position of the sample, meanwhile, an infrared pyrometer is adopted to observe the central temperature of the sample in real time, after a molten pool is solidified and cooled to a certain temperature node, a steel plate for supporting the sample is drawn out, so that the sample is rapidly transferred to an atmosphere box and is naturally cooled to the room temperature in the atmosphere box. Research on titanium alloy and CO₂Non-isothermal oxidation behavior of (2), external CO₂The gas cylinder continuously introduces CO into the atmosphere box through the bottom interface of the box body₂Gas and passing CO₂The concentration detector monitors the concentration of the carbon dioxide in real time to ensure that CO is absorbed₂The concentration is higher than 90%; when carrying out a comparative test in an air atmosphere, no gas is required to be introduced into the atmosphere box.

FIG. 5 shows CO₂SEM appearance pictures of surface oxides of titanium alloy oxidation samples with different temperature nodes in two atmospheres with air can show that the temperature nodes are increased from 900 ℃ to 1100 ℃, and the titanium alloy samples are in CO₂The surface oxide particle size of the oxidized sample in both the air atmosphere and the air atmosphere increased, i.e., the degree of oxidation increased. However, the titanium alloy oxidized sample in the air atmosphere is more obvious no matter the whole oxidation degree or the remarkable degree of the oxidation degree increasing along with the temperature rise. Note that the temperature node is 900 deg.C, CO₂The oxide particles on the surface of the titanium alloy oxidation sample under the atmosphere are extremely small in size, and the obvious oxidation condition is almost avoided; on the other hand, the surface of the oxidized sample in the space-time atmosphere at 900 ℃ showed crossed rod-like oxides having an average size of 0.12 μm, and the degree of oxidation was significant. It can be considered that 900 ℃ is titanium alloy and CO₂The critical reaction temperature node, and the titanium alloy has undergone a severe oxidation reaction with air at the critical reaction temperature node. Thus titanium alloys compare air with CO₂Has less tendency to oxidize, CO₂Can be used as protective gas for high-temperature welding seams with the temperature of less than 900 ℃.

To CO₂The results of the X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis of the surfaces of the oxidized samples at different temperature nodes in the two atmospheres are shown in fig. 6. Can find TiO in XRD diffraction pattern of titanium alloy oxidation sample under air atmosphere at 900 DEG C₂The diffraction peak intensity is higher than that of Ti, so that more serious surface oxidation occurs at the temperature node, and TiO is used as a main oxidation product₂(ii) a And at 900 ℃ in CO₂The XRD diffraction pattern of the titanium alloy oxidation sample in the atmosphere mainly shows the diffraction peak position of Ti simple substance, and the titanium alloy is considered not to be subjected to surface oxidation, namely the titanium alloy is not mixed with CO at 900 DEG C₂An oxidation reaction occurs.
