Narrow-gap vertical electro-gas welding process and equipment
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of welding, in particular to a narrow-gap vertical electro-gas welding process and equipment.
Background
Narrow gap welding is a highly efficient arc welding method that is specific to thick plate welding. Due to the limited energy density of the welding arc, the penetration of single arc welding is limited, and in order to ensure penetration, the most common welding process is the welding process method used for grooving, and the most common welding process is V-shaped groove. The V-shaped groove has the advantages of easy processing and easy welding quality assurance, and can be suitable for metal plates, pipes and the like with various thicknesses. However, as the thickness of the metal sheet increases, the cross-sectional area of the groove increases in geometric progression, for example, the thickness increases by a factor of two and the cross-sectional area of the groove increases by a factor of three. Therefore, as the plate thickness increases, the welding workload increases in geometric progression. The groove angle is reduced, the sectional area of the groove is reduced, and the welding workload is reduced. However, with respect to the V-groove, the weld root cannot be welded if the angle is too small. For this purpose, a small-angle U-groove, the so-called narrow gap weld groove, is proposed. The width of the narrow gap groove is usually 10-20mm, so even if the groove is tens or even hundreds of millimeters deep, the welding gun can penetrate into the bottom of the groove to ensure the welding of the root. However, the angle of the U-groove is so small that the wire is nearly parallel to the side wall of the workpiece and the arc cannot ensure fusion of the side wall. For this purpose, a number of narrow gap welding methods have been developed which are capable of directing an arc in a narrow gap towards the side wall of the workpiece. However, all of these methods not only have a complicated gun structure, but also do not require a workpiece groove having high dimensional accuracy. Narrow gap welding methods can therefore only be used for welding special products with precisely machined grooves, such as thick-walled high-pressure vessel welding. The narrow gap welding method can not be applied to the thick plate welding of steel structures, engineering machinery and other fields with great requirements on welding workload, so that the welding efficiency can not be improved.
Vertical electro-gas welding is another efficient arc welding process suitable for thick plate welding. The welding efficiency of the vertical electro-gas welding mainly comes from the welding line forming mode, namely, the thick metal plates are placed vertically, a gap is reserved between the two metal plates, and forced forming clamping plate devices are arranged on two sides of the welding line. The welding arc burns in the area surrounded by the two metal plates and the two side forced forming splints, the melted welding wire is filled into the area surrounded by the two metal plates and the two side forced forming splints, and the welding pool area covers the area surrounded by the two metal plates and the two side forced forming splints. The conventional vertical electro-gas welding is also provided with a V-shaped groove, and a gap of 8-10mm is reserved on the back surface of the welding seam. Thus, the thicker the metal sheet, the greater the area of the area enclosed by the two metal sheets and the two side force-forming cleats, i.e., the more wire metal is to be filled. Filling more wire metal means higher welding heat input. Whereas too high a welding heat input will lead to a decrease in the metal mechanical properties of the weld, in particular in the impact toughness of the weld. Although special high line energy steel plates and welding wires are developed at present, the performance is still limited and the price is very high compared with the conventional materials. Thus, the application of vertical electro-gas welding is also greatly limited.
