The invention provides an auxiliary cooling device for
friction welding of a ring
pipe structure and a working method of the auxiliary cooling device, and belongs to the technical field of
friction welding. The problems that in the prior art, due to the fact that the surface of an inner ring of a large-
diameter-thickness-ratio ring material dissipates heat slowly, the
cooling speed of a
welding area is uneven,
residual stress is increased, the strength of a
welding joint is affected, and due to the fact that the surface of the inner ring dissipates heat slowly,
microstructure changes are uneven, and the
mechanical property of the material is affected are solved. The device comprises a
tailstock side clamp, a main shaft side clamp, an
inert gas connecting
pipe, a gas
nozzle and a
cooling medium spraying mechanism, the
tailstock side clamp is installed in a movable sliding table box body of
friction welding equipment, a
tailstock side part to be welded is clamped in the tailstock side clamp, a main shaft side part to be welded is clamped in the main shaft side clamp, and the
inert gas connecting
pipe is connected with the gas
nozzle. An
inert gas connecting pipe is arranged in the main shaft side to-be-welded part, the outlet end of the
inert gas connecting pipe is connected with the gas
nozzle, and a
cooling medium spraying mechanism is arranged on the inner side of the tailstock side to-be-welded part. The device is mainly used for cooling the
welding seam of friction welding.
