Detailed Description
The present invention will be further described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and examples.
Referring to a welding circuit diagram shown in fig. 1, according to the above technical solution, the fast response tungsten-rhenium thermocouple welding method provided by the invention comprises the following steps:
step one, melting of the conductive medium 8:
putting the glass vessel 7 containing the conductive medium 8 into an open container filled with boiled water, and taking out the conductive medium 8 for later use after the conductive medium is completely dissolved.
The conductive medium 8 is made of gallium alloy material with melting point of about 65 ℃, gallium is metal with melting point of 30 ℃ and boiling point of 2400 ℃, the metal alloy material can form a metal alloy material with melting point of 3-100 ℃ with indium, thallium, tin, bismuth, zinc and the like, the gallium alloy material with melting point of about 65 ℃ is selected, the gallium alloy material is in a solid state at normal temperature and is convenient to store, and the gallium alloy material is not combined into a couple at the butt joint end of a coupling wire under the action of high temperature generated by arc discharge, so that the purity of the coupling material is ensured, and the measurement accuracy of the tungsten-rhenium thermocouple is guaranteed. Meanwhile, the most important thing is that in the arc discharge welding process, the gallium alloy does not generate toxic and harmful gas, replaces mercury conductive materials which are easy to volatilize at normal temperature, and avoids the human poisoning and other injury events caused by the volatilization of mercury in the welding process.
Step two, butting tungsten-rhenium thermocouple 4 couple wires:
taking a semi-finished product of the tungsten-rhenium thermocouple 4, measuring and determining the length of the thermocouple wire extending out of the end face of the shell, and then bending the end parts of the two exposed thermocouple wires to enable the end parts to be in butt joint to form a circular arch butt joint shape.
For the tungsten-rhenium thermocouple wire with the diameter of the thermocouple wire being (0.1-0.2) mm, the length of the thermocouple wire is about 10 mm. The thermocouple wire with the length has high structural strength and is not easy to damage under the action of 10MPa transient shock wave overpressure, and when the thermocouple with the length is arranged on a measuring plane, the thermocouple junction exceeds an air stratosphere within a range of (1-3) mm near the measuring plane, so that the thermocouple junction is fully contacted with high-temperature explosive gas in the environment, and the temperature of the explosive gas is ensured to be accurately measured. If the diameter of the tungsten-rhenium thermocouple 4 thermocouple wire is larger than 0.2mm, the length of the thermocouple wire can be properly lengthened.
The thermocouple wire adopts a circular arch type butt joint mode, a thermocouple coupling junction with a smaller volume is easily formed in welding, the volume of the coupling junction is smaller than that of the coupling junction formed in a thermocouple wire hinge mode, thermal inertia is small, the requirement of thermocouple quick response can be met, and the measurement of the explosion heat effect of an explosion field can be met. For tungsten-rhenium thermocouple wires with the diameter of the thermocouple wire being (0.1-0.2) mm, the response time of welding the thermocouple in the mode is less than 2ms (water bath measurement method).
Step three, connecting the welding lines:
the electrode plate 9 is put into a glass vessel 7 containing a conductive medium 8, and the components are connected according to a circuit shown in figure 1: the electrode plate 9 is put into a glass vessel 7 containing liquid conductive media, and the control switch 1 connects a 220V power supply with the input end of the transformer 2 through a lead; one output end of the transformer is connected with the electrode plate 9 through a lead, and the other connecting terminal is connected with the positive end of the thermocouple signal output line 4-1 through a lead on one hand and is connected with the rheostat 3 and the negative end of the thermocouple signal output signal line 4-1 through a lead on the other hand.
Step four, adjusting the resistance of the thermocouple discharge circuit, and achieving the equality:
measuring the resistance of the end part of the thermocouple wire connected from the output end of the transformer 2 to the positive end of the thermocouple signal output line 4-1, measuring the resistance of the end part of the thermocouple wire connected from the output end to the negative electrode line of the thermocouple signal output line 4-1 through the rheostat, comparing the resistance values, and when the resistance values are not equal, adjusting the resistance of the rheostat 3 until the resistances of the two lines are equal.
For a thermocouple using a low-noise cable as a signal output line, the resistances of positive and negative leads of the output signal line are unequal, and the longer the lead is, the larger the difference is. When the thermocouple is welded, because the resistances of the two thermocouple wire discharge circuits are not equal, the currents passing through the butt joint points of the two thermocouple wires are different, the heat released by arc discharge is also different, the larger the discharge current is, the more the heat released from the end point of the thermocouple wire is, and the end of the thermocouple wire can be melted; the smaller the discharge current is, the less the heat release quantity of the thermocouple wire end is, the thermocouple wire end can not be melted, the thermocouple can not be formed, or one thermocouple wire end is fused and the other thermocouple wire end is not melted, therefore, the rheostat 3 is arranged in the discharge circuit of the thermocouple, and the resistance of the negative electrode of the thermocouple signal output line is equal to that of the discharge line of the positive electrode by adjusting the resistance of the rheostat 3 access circuit.
For a 5\ 26W-Re thermocouple wire with the diameter phi of 0.2mm, when the thermocouple signal output line 4-1 is a low-noise cable with the length of 5m, the resistance value of the circuit connected with the rheostat 3 is 2.9 omega.
Step five, assembling and fixing a tungsten-rhenium thermocouple 4:
the tungsten-rhenium thermocouple 4 is fixed to a support 5 by a clamp 6 with one end of the thermocouple wire facing downwards. A glass vessel 7 containing a conductive medium 8 is placed below the butt joint point of the tungsten-rhenium thermocouple 4, and the height of the clamp 6 is adjusted to enable the butt joint point of the tungsten-rhenium thermocouple 4 to be close to the liquid surface of the conductive medium 8 by 0.5 mm.
Step six, welding the tungsten-rhenium thermocouple 4:
the output voltage of the transformer 4 is adjusted, after the requirement is met, the control switch 1 is pressed and then quickly released, high-temperature electric arc is generated between the butt joint of the thermocouple wire and the liquid level of the electric conductor, and heat is released to melt the butt joint of the thermocouple into a thermocouple.
The output voltage of the ac transformer 2 is related to the diameter of the wire of the tungsten-rhenium thermocouple, and for a tungsten-rhenium wire with a diameter of 0.1mm, the output voltage is approximately equal to 24V.
The applicant adopts the method of the invention to weld a tungsten-rhenium thermocouple with a thermocouple wire diameter of 0.2mm, 2kg of explosive heat of certain temperature and pressure is measured in an explosion tank by applying the thermocouple, the obtained thermocouple response temperature curve is shown in figure 2, the peak value of the response temperature is 1980 ℃, 2kg of explosive heat of TNT charge is also measured, and the peak value of the response temperature of the thermocouple is 950 ℃. The test data provides support data for the evaluation of the explosion thermal effect of the thermal-pressure explosive.
