The invention belongs to the technical field of heat exchange tube and tube plate
welding, and discloses a method for
welding a weld joint between a heat exchange tube and a tube plate in a horizontal direction, which comprises the following steps of: preparing and assembling an outer-layer heat exchange tube and an outer-layer heat exchange tube plate, and forming a weld joint between the outer-layer heat exchange tube and the outer-layer heat exchange tube plate; an automatic
argon arc welding wire matched with the
base metal is selected and installed;
welding equipment is installed and debugged, specifically, a full-automatic
argon arc welding machine without a positioning core rod is adopted, a welding gun of the welding
machine is vertically arranged downwards, welding seams of the outer-layer heat exchange tube and the outer-layer heat exchange tube plate are welded in the horizontal direction, and welding parameters are set on the welding
machine; installing a
tungsten electrode, and adjusting a wire feeding angle, wherein the tip of the
tungsten electrode points to a gap between the outer-layer heat exchange tube and the outer-layer heat exchange tube plate; in the
welding process, a welding machine visually recognizes and records the positions of the heat exchange tube and the tube hole of the tube plate, and a welding gun automatically moves to the position of the tube hole to achieve automatic welding; and quality detection.
Welding quality is improved, welding seam strength is enhanced, and stability and reliability in the
welding process are guaranteed.
