2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, in the construction of pipes for large-diameter thick-walled steel pipes, a plurality of steel pipes have been arranged such that their ends are in contact with each other or close to each other, and run on an annular rail set on the outer periphery of the steel pipes. A method has been adopted in which the ends are welded and joined by a device. The two steel pipes are fixedly arranged horizontally, vertically or inclined so that their ends come into contact with or close to each other. In ordinary pipe construction, most of them are arranged horizontally.

[0003] Usually, steel pipes fixedly arranged so that their ends come into contact with or close to each other are placed on an annular rail which is a part of the construction of an automatic welding device installed on the outer periphery of the steel pipes.
The welding head, which is part of the configuration of the automatic welding device, runs,
Circumferential automatic welding. The welding head is provided with a torch that emits an arc so as to be movable up, down, left and right, and performs welding while weaving. However, the welding thickness obtained by one run of the welding head is small. For this reason, when welding thick-walled pipes, it is necessary to perform so-called multi-layer welding in which the welding head is moved to the same portion a plurality of times.

When performing multi-layer welding using consumable electrode type gas shielded arc welding, the groove formed by the ends of the steel pipe has a V groove having a groove angle of 65 ° as shown in FIG. It was commonly used. The welding torch welds while weaving inside such a groove, but in circumferential welding of steel pipes, welding is performed while descending the side wall of the pipe from ascending welding where the welding is performed while raising the side wall of the pipe. All the postures until the downward welding to be performed are required. When a V-groove with a groove angle of 65 ° is used, the molten metal is apt to sag in upward welding and upward welding, so that the welding speed cannot be increased and the welding efficiency is low. was there.
Further, when a V groove having a groove angle of 65 ° is used, there is also a problem that the required welding amount is large and the welding efficiency is low because the groove cross section is wide.

[0005] Further, in the construction of pipes, shortening of the construction period is important in connection with the demand for reducing the construction cost. In particular, there is a demand for shortening the welding process, which occupies a large proportion of time in the entire process. To cope with such a problem, for example, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-200975, a narrow groove having a shape in which the bottom of the annular groove is V-shaped is formed, and a ceramic backing material is disposed on the inner surface side of the pipe. A single-sided pipe welding method has been proposed in which the first layer welding is performed on all sides by single-sided welding by gas shielded arc welding using a high-speed rotating arc while running an automatic welding machine on a circumferential guide rail attached to the outer surface of the pipe. However, the technology described in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 4-200975 enables high-efficiency welding, but has a problem that a special device must be provided to achieve a high-speed rotating arc.

A method for circumferentially welding a fixed pipe for performing multi-layer welding by rotating a welding head in the same direction along an end portion at a welding current of 150 to 250 A has been proposed. In addition, JP-A-11-129068 and JP-A-11-129069, the groove shape formed by the ends is a 10-40 ° V-shaped groove,

In addition, the high-pressure piping is required to be able to withstand not only a repeated load due to a change in internal pressure but also a large strain load as in the case of an earthquake.

It is vital.

In order to achieve the above-mentioned object, the present inventors have first considered that the present invention relates to the occurrence of internal defects such as blowholes and poor fusion when the groove shape is narrow. The influence of welding conditions was studied diligently. As a result, it has been found that when an oxygen supply gas is used as a shielding gas, welding with deep penetration can be performed. Here, the oxygen supply gas is a gas having a function of supplying oxygen to the molten metal during welding, and refers to a gas capable of controlling the viscosity of the molten metal by adsorbing oxygen on the surface of the molten metal. The oxygen supply gas is preferably a CO 2 gas which is inexpensive in terms of cost, but a part or all of the CO 2 gas may be replaced with an O 2 gas. In consumable electrode type shield gas arc welding using an oxygen supply gas as a shielding gas, the amount of oxygen in the molten metal increases and the viscosity of the molten metal decreases, so application to all-position welding is more difficult than from the viewpoint of bead formation. It was previously thought that there was. By making the groove shape a narrow groove with a narrow welded portion, the holding effect of the molten metal from the groove wall surface becomes large, and even if the oxygen supply gas is used as the shielding gas, It has been found that dripping of molten metal is less likely to occur during welding, stable bead formation is possible, and that a weld having excellent internal quality can be formed without occurrence of internal defects such as blowholes and poor fusion. .

That is, by combining a narrow groove and a consumable electrode type shield gas arc welding using an oxygen supply gas as a shielding gas, a highly efficient, all-position lamination pass welding with a small bead shape and high efficiency can be realized. We have learned that it is possible. Furthermore, when welding the finishing pass using the oxygen supply gas as a shielding gas, unlike the welding of the lamination pass, the effect of holding the molten metal from the groove wall surface does not work effectively, so that dripping of the bead occurs. However, since it is difficult to obtain a satisfactory finish bead appearance, only the finishing pass is used as a shielding gas (Ar +
(Oxygen supply gas).
This is because the bead shape is regarded as important for the finish layer from the viewpoints of obtaining a good appearance and reducing stress concentration on the welded joint.

Welding is performed using a consumable electrode type gas shielded arc automatic welding device. The welding head of the automatic welding device is rotated circumferentially along the end of the steel pipe to perform circumferential welding. The traveling method of the welding head may be any of the one-round rotation method, the upward distribution method, and the downward distribution method, but the downward distribution method is preferable from the viewpoint of the bead type.

In the present invention, the groove formed by the ends of the steel pipe is a two-step groove as shown in FIG.
The first groove on the inner peripheral side is a groove for a lamination pass, and is an I-shaped groove with a groove angle of 0 degrees or a V-shaped groove with an opening angle of 20 degrees or less on the outer periphery. Become a groove. By making the lamination path such a narrow groove, the required welding amount can be reduced, the welding time can be shortened, and the welding efficiency can be improved. If the groove angle exceeds 20 degrees, the effect of holding the molten metal by the groove wall surface is reduced, and the molten metal is likely to sag. In consideration of reduction of the groove angle due to thermal deformation during welding, the groove angle of the bottom groove is preferably set to 5 degrees or more. More preferably, it is 5 to 15 degrees from the viewpoint of operability by observing the arc in the groove. As a backing material for holding the first-layer weld metal, it is preferable to arrange and weld a copper backing on the inner peripheral side of the groove.
In addition, for the purpose of reducing the gap, preventing the groove from shrinking, and reducing the amount of welding required, only the portion corresponding to the first layer pass at the bottom groove, as shown in FIG. May be used. In this case, the angle of the V-shaped groove is measured not at the U-shaped portion but at a fixed angle portion near the center of the plate thickness.

On the other hand, an upper groove in the range of 1 to 4 mm on the outer peripheral side of the second step is a groove for a finishing pass, and a groove having an outer peripheral opening groove angle of 30 degrees or more. And If the groove angle of the upper groove is less than 30 degrees, the penetration in the finishing pass is insufficient, and internal defects such as poor fusion occur to deteriorate the internal quality. Further, if the upper groove is set to a range exceeding 4 mm from the outer peripheral side, the groove cross-sectional area increases, so that welding time is increased and welding efficiency is reduced. On the other hand, when the upper groove is less than 1 mm from the outer peripheral side, it is difficult to ensure sufficient penetration, and internal defects such as poor fusion occur, thereby deteriorating the internal quality.

By using the 00% oxygen supply gas, the arc is contracted and the penetration deepens, and even if the groove shape is narrow, it is easy to stably melt the groove wall surface and the occurrence of poor fusion can be prevented. Also, if a 100% oxygen supply gas is used as a shielding gas, the oxygen supply gas is deoxidized in the molten metal, so that it is difficult for the oxygen supply gas to remain as pores in the weld metal, and an arc having a high agitation property for the molten metal. Phenomenon is obtained, pores hardly remain even in narrow gaps, and generation of blow holes can be prevented.

In the present invention, as described above, the upper range corresponding to the finishing pass is formed as a groove having a groove angle of 30 ° or more, so that the molten metal in the finished layer has a sharp groove. Since it is not sandwiched between the wall surfaces, even if an inert gas is mixed into the shield gas, blow holes due to trapping of the shield gas due to rapid cooling from the groove wall surface are less likely to occur. By using a mixed gas of Ar + oxygen supply gas as the shielding gas, the amount of oxygen mixed into the weld metal can be reduced, and the viscosity of the molten metal is increased to reduce the occurrence of blowholes and improve the bead shape. can do. By mixing the oxygen supply gas with the Ar gas, the concentration of the arc decreases and the penetration becomes shallower, but by forming the groove at the top corresponding to the finishing pass as described above, a good bead The appearance can be obtained, and sufficient penetration can be obtained.

Further, by using a mixed gas of an Ar + oxygen supply gas as the shield gas, a fine droplet transfer phenomenon can be obtained as compared with the oxygen supply gas, so that the arc stability in a low current region is excellent. Therefore, by setting the shielding gas in the finishing pass to a mixed gas of Ar + oxygen supply gas and setting the welding current to a low current range, it is easy to obtain a good bead appearance with less bead dripping.

The mixing amount of Ar in the mixed gas of Ar + oxygen supply gas used for the finish pass welding is as follows: Ar: 30 to 90 vol.
And If the mixing amount of Ar is less than 30 vol.%, The viscosity of the molten metal is too low, causing bead dripping, while if exceeding 90 vol.%, Poor fusion is likely to occur. The oxygen supply gas is preferably CO 2 gas which is inexpensive in terms of cost.

In the present invention, the welding current value in the consumable electrode type gas shielded arc welding is set to 200 to 4 in the lamination pass.
It is preferable to be 100 A to 250 A in the finishing pass. If the welding current value in the lamination pass is less than 200 A, the welding speed is slow and the welding efficiency is reduced, while if it exceeds 400 A, the arc becomes unstable and spatter increases. If the welding current value in the finishing pass is less than 100 A,
The stability and penetration of the arc are reduced. On the other hand, if it exceeds 250 A, poor appearance due to bead dripping occurs.

It is preferable to use a wire having a diameter of 0.9 to 1.2 mm φ. If the diameter of the welding metal wire is less than 0.9 mm, the welding efficiency is low. On the other hand, if it exceeds 1.2 mm, the stability of the arc in all positions cannot be ensured due to the decrease in current density. In the present invention,
Since the groove shape is a narrow groove, dripping of the molten metal is less likely to occur, and a high welding speed can be used in all postures. A large-diameter wire can also be used as the welding metal wire supplied with an increase in the welding speed.
