This invention discloses a low-
hydrogen flux-cored
welding wire based on two-dimensional MXene surface self-
assembly modification, its preparation method, and its application, belonging to the field of
welding materials technology. The low-
hydrogen flux-cored
welding wire comprises a steel strip outer sheath and a flux core filled within it, the flux core being composed of
metal alloy powder and modified composite flux core
powder. Its preparation method includes: preparing a two-dimensional MXene colloidal dispersion using a chemical
etching method; cationically modifying the insulating
slag-forming
powder; mixing the two and electrostatically self-assembling and
coating them; after
drying, mixing with the
metal alloy powder; filling the steel strip; and rolling and drawing into shape. This invention constructs a three-dimensional continuous conductive network within the flux core through the MXene layer, improving
arc stability; simultaneously, the MXene shell forms a physically water-blocking labyrinth, endowing the welding wire with ultra-low
hydrogen characteristics; the active
titanium released by the
decomposition of MXene at high welding temperatures can refine the weld grains and improve mechanical properties. This welding wire can be widely used in automated gas-shielded welding processes for high-strength steel.
