A method for controlling back-reflection of aluminum alloy pipeline welding

Abstract

The invention provides a method for controlling reverse penetration into the back of an aluminium alloy pipeline during welding. In the method, inert gas is continuously inflated into a pipeline to be welded by using an adjustable pressure control device to ensure that the inflating flow is mutually coordinated with the deflating flow of an unwelded connector, so that the pressure in the pipeline reaches a macroscopic quasi-steady state, a steady and outward force is applied to a weld pool to prevent the back of the weld pool from collapsing to cause deformation, and thus the reverse penetration into the back of a weld joint can be effectively controlled. The method is not limited by complexity of the shape of the pipeline; the inert gas in the pipeline can play a role of a protective gas, so that the weld joint can be formed easily and the welding quality is ensured; therefore, by the method, the thin-wall, complex and multi-elbow pipeline with the wall thickness of 1.0-3.0mm and the external diameter of 22-40mm can be welded.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of welding technology, relates to an aluminum alloy welding method, and more specifically relates to a method for controlling back penetration of aluminum alloy pipeline welding, and can also be applied to other similar welding-related fields. Background technique [0002] The aluminum alloy welded structure has excellent comprehensive properties such as light weight, good corrosion resistance, and easy processing, and is widely used in products in aerospace, national defense and military industries. With the continuous development of model products, the requirements for the welding structure of aluminum alloy are becoming more and more stringent, especially for the oil and gas pipelines inside the product. Therefore, higher and higher requirements are put forward for the welding process of aluminum alloy pipelines. [0003] Aluminum alloy has the characteristics of low melting point and low high-temperature strength...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

In actual production, the method of imposing a rigid mandrel inside is often used to avoid this defect, but this method will be limited by the complexity of the pipeline on the one hand, and it is difficult to use a rigid mandrel for the butt joint of continuous elbows; on the other hand, welding is different. Pipelines with different diameters need to be matched with rigid mandrels of different diameters, which increases production costs

Therefore, the method of using a rigid mandrel cannot fully meet the welding requirements of today's complex aluminum alloy pipelines, and it will increase production costs and cannot guarantee the welding quality of pipelines.

[0004] As the structure and shape of aluminum alloy products become more and more complex, the shape of the internal pipeline of the product is also more and more complicated, and the control of the internal flow of the pipeline is becoming more and more strict. The amount of reverse transmission is too large, it is difficult to meet the requirements of the through-ball test, etc.

The method of using a rigid mandrel cannot completely control the back reflection and ensure the quality of pipeline welding, which limits the application of welding production of aluminum alloy complex pipeline structure products
