Benefits of technology

This patented technology uses both an ultraviolet light source (ultrasonics) and a protective gas during submerged welds that reduces impact from hydraulic pressures caused by rain or snow falling over it. By adding these techniques, this process can achieve better results compared with traditional methods without requiring much equipment like immersion lamps.

Problems solved by technology

Technological Problem: Undersea Weldings (UW) are becoming increasingly popular with advancements being developed over time. These methods have been shown effective at preventing corrosion issues caused by moisture while also enhancing their overall quality and durability. While traditional UV light sources can be harmful when exposed during operation, these techniques offer advantages like lower energy consumption compared to laser technology.

Embodiment 1

[0034] When the welding wire 5 is selected as a solid welding wire, since the solid welding wire does not have the function of producing gas and slag, the gas in the gas storage tank 11 can be selected from the gas required by the GMAW (gasmetalarcwelding, gas metal arc welding) method, i.e. argon, CO 2 , argon+CO 2 , argon+CO 2 +Oxygen, CO 2 + Oxygen, etc., the choice of shielding gas is mainly determined by the material of the metal and the thickness of the welding, for example: aluminum and aluminum alloys generally use argon + 2% CO 2 , stainless steel and high-strength steel use argon + (1-2% oxygen or 5% CO 2 ), carbon steel and low alloy steel use argon + (20-30% CO 2 or 20% oxygen).

Embodiment 2

[0036] When the welding wire 5 is a flux-cored wire, since the flux-cored wire has the functions of gas and slagging (self-protection), the gas introduced can be air or the mixed gas required by the GMAW method.

[0037] The invention utilizes the cavitation effect of ultrasound to form an air bag around the arc, and removes the influence of water on the arc, so that the arc can be welded in the air atmosphere, and uses the sound flow effect of ultrasound to make the water around the arc space present a stable beam flow, reduce the impact of external fluctuations on the arc, on this basis, the shielding gas is introduced into the arc area through the insulating sleeve, and the gas medium is provided to the arc space and plays a protective role, including protecting the arc, protecting the welded parts (the welding area as a whole ), avoiding the influence of water, this method transforms ultrasonic-assisted underwater wet welding into ultrasonic melting electrode gas shielded w...

Abstract

The invention relates to an ultrasonic-assisted and gas-shielded welding device adopting an underwater wet method. The device comprises an ultrasonic transducer, a combined welding torch, a conductive rod and an insulation sleeve. The ultrasonic transducer is connected with the combined welding torch, the ultrasonic transducer and the combined welding torch are each provided with a through hole, the through holes are communicated, and the conductive rod and the insulation sleeve are arranged in the through holes. The insulation sleeve is arranged on the radial outside of the conductive rod in a sleeving mode, and a gap is formed between the insulation sleeve and the conductive rod. The device further comprises a waterproof shell and a gas supply unit. The ultrasonic transducer is arranged in the waterproof shell which is communicated with the gap, and the waterproof shell is communicated with the gas supply unit. By means of the ultrasonic-assisted and gas-shielded welding device adopting the underwater method, the ultrasonic and shielding gas combined mode is used for underwater welding, and the effect of water pressure on electric arcs is reduced through ultrasonic; the ionization of the electric arcs is improved through the shielding gas, the stability of the electric arcs is improved, and accordingly the welding quality is enhanced.
