Method for welding with laser-cold metal transferred arc composite heat source

Abstract

The invention provides a method for welding with a laser-cold metal transferred arc composite heat source, and belongs to the technical field of composite heat sources. The welding method solves the technical problems of low-quality welding lines and low arc stability of the pure Ar-protected cold metal transferred arc welding. The method comprises the following steps of: using pure Ar gas for protection during welding, and forming a novel composite heat source by using the cold metal transferred arc(5) and a laser beam (2) of which the power is more than or equal to 800, wherein the laser beam (2) is defocused, the diameter of a laser spot formed by the laser beam (2) on the surface of a workpiece (1) to be welded is 1 to 4mm, a spot of the cold metal transferred arc (5) can be arranged in front of or behind the spot of the laser beam (2), the central distance of the two spots is 0 to 8mm, and an included angle between a welding torch(3) of the cold metal transferred arc(5) and the horizontal plane is 45 and 75 degrees. The composite heat source is mainly used for welding plates and tubes made of stainless steel, high-strength steel and nickel-based alloy.

Description

Technical field [0001] A laser-cold metal transition arc composite heat source welding method proposed by the present invention belongs to the technical field of composite heat source welding, and in particular relates to the fact that the composite heat source welding method can improve the spreadability of a single cold metal transition arc weld and can replace non-melting electrodes Inert gas shielded welding (TIG welding) welding stainless steel, high-strength steel, nickel-based alloys. Background technique [0002] CMT (Cold Metal Transfer) is a new welding technology gradually developed and matured by Fornis Company on the basis of research on thin plate welding, non-splash transfer technology and connection technology of aluminum and steel dissimilar metals. Cold metal transition technology (hereinafter referred to as CMT) digitally coordinates the wire feeding and droplet transfer process. The completion of this process is mainly realized by the wire drawing mechani...

Problems solved by technology

However, due to the relatively low temperature of the molten pool in CMT arc welding, especially when welding medium and thick plate metal, the liquid weld metal has poor wettability on the base metal surface, poor spreadability, and high weld reinforcement. , prone to defects such as unfused or slag inclusions

[0004] In addition, when pure Ar protected CMT arc welding stainless steel, nickel-based alloy or high-strength steel is used, since there is no oxidizing gas in the shielding gas, the content of harmful impurity elements such as C and O in the weld metal can be reduced, thereby improving The metallurgical properties of the weld, but due to the lack of oxides in the molten pool, the cathode spots of the CMT arc are difficult to stabilize, and the cathode spots keep drifting during the welding process, which manifests as arc drifting, insufficient stiffness, unstable welding process, and negative impact on welding quality. have adverse effects
