The invention belongs to the field of
metal welding, and particularly relates to an automatic ultrasonic
impact device for a circumferential weld, which is used for improving
stress distribution of a welded joint of the circumferential weld of a pipeline and a
pressure vessel, and improving overall performance of the welded joint. The device comprises an annular guide rail, a traveling mechanism and a
stress relieving mechanism, wherein the annular guide rail surrounds and is fixed outside the pipeline or the
pressure vessel, and is used for supporting the traveling mechanism, the traveling mechanism is installed on the annular guide rail and can conduct a
circular motion around the annular guide rail, and the
stress relieving mechanism is fixed at one side of the traveling mechanism, and can respectively relieve the stress of weld toes at two sides of the circumferential weld through ultrasonic
impact under the driving of the traveling mechanism. The device can complete the work of relieving the stress of the circumferential weld of the pipeline and the
pressure vessel through ultrasonic
impact, reduces weld defect, eliminates
residual stress at the weld toes, and improves the post-weld treatment efficiency; in addition, the device is simple to assemble and disassemble, can be regulated according to different
pipe diameters, and is applicable to
stress relieving of the circumferential welds of different
pipe diameters.
