Abstract

The invention discloses a dissimilar metal connection method for a copper-aluminum pipe, comprising the following steps of: (1) firstly dipping the part to be connected of a copper pipe with a liquid brazing agent, coating paste non-corrosive brazing agent at the part to be connected of an aluminum pipe, and then inserting the aluminum pipe into the copper pipe so as to be butted into a joint to be welded; and (2) putting the butted joint to be welded into an inductor of a high-frequency power supply, heating the workpieces by using a high-frequency power supply; when a potassium aluminum fluoride brazing agent is melted, applying axial pressure immediately and maintaining the pressure; and after a wet round angle is formed on the end surface of the copper pipe, cutting off the power supply, and then finishing the connection. The obtained butted joint does not contain any oxidized slag and has high strength and high compactness, and the butting length of the joint can be randomly adjusted in a large range.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of welding technology, and relates to a connection method of dissimilar metals, in particular to a connection method of copper-aluminum pipe dissimilar metals. Background technique [0002] Due to the excessive use of non-renewable resources, the price of copper and its copper alloys continues to rise, which greatly increases the manufacturing cost of manufacturers. In order to rationally allocate non-renewable resources and save raw material costs, it is required in many industrial fields to reduce manufacturing costs by substituting aluminum for copper. However, copper and its alloys can provide good air tightness and electrical conductivity when mechanically pressed, while aluminum and its alloys are easy to oxidize and deform, resulting in reduced air tightness and electrical conductivity. Therefore, in order to meet the technical requirements of replacing copper with aluminum, the connection of copper-aluminum d...
