The invention relates to the field of thin-wall workpiece
welding and discloses a method for controlling deformation generated when a connection
pipe is welded to a large-
diameter thin-wall
barrel. According to the method, the amount of actual deformation is small. When the large-
diameter thin-wall
barrel is welded to the connection
pipe connected with the large-
diameter thin-wall
barrel, an inner groove is adopted as a connection
pipe groove in the barrel, and the two sides of the connection pipe groove in the barrel are provided with inner supports used for supporting the inner wall of the barrel; after the connection pipe is connected with the barrel through
spot welding, the position of the connection pipe is adjusted, so that the connection pipe is located below the barrel, a circumferential
welding line of the connection pipe is divided into an even number of
welding line segments, welding of each welding line layer is completed through two rounds of segmented symmetry welding, welding of a half of each welding
line segment in the length direction is completed in each round of segmented symmetry welding, and the next layer is welded after all the welding line segments on the upper layer are welded. The whole welding line is divided into a plurality of regions, a layered and regional welding sequence of the welding line is worked out, and therefore heat input is controlled well,
welding deformation is reduced, and the problems that the large-diameter connection pipe droops and the barrel deforms are solved.
