Welding method for thin-walled titanium alloy spherical member

Abstract

The invention discloses a welding method for a thin-walled titanium alloy spherical member. The welding method is applied to a thin-walled titanium alloy spherical member; the spherical member comprises an upper hemispherical housing, a lower hemispherical housing, a connecting disc, a flange and a joint which are made of a titanium alloy material; the method comprises the following steps of: pre-processing the upper hemispherical housing, the lower hemispherical housing, the connecting disc, the flange and the joint; assembling the pre-processed upper and lower hemispherical shousings, connecting disc, flange and joint to obtain a spherical member; fixing the spherical member to a welding tool of a specific back inflation protection device, and introducing protective gas into the back inflation protection device to make sure that the oxygen content in a cavity of the back inflation protection device is lower than a preset threshold value; and conducting spot fixation on the joint weldseams concentrated according to stress in sequence from the inner ring to the outer ring, and conducting welding in a pulse-modulated laser swing welding mode according to the spot fixation sequence.The welding method disclosed by the invention solves the technical problem about relatively poor reliability of welding of thin-walled titanium alloy spherical members in the prior art.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the field of welding technology, in particular to a welding method for thin-walled titanium alloy spherical components. Background technique [0002] With the application and development of aerospace technology, higher and higher requirements are put forward for the storage and effective supply of fuel in the outer space of the atmosphere. Titanium alloy thin-walled spherical components, as the key components to realize the above functions, have the characteristics of high bearing pressure and small deformation. The main structure of the titanium alloy thin-walled spherical member is composed of upper and lower shells and flanges. The thinnest part of the girth weld on the sphere is 0.9mm, and the thickest part is 2.4mm. There are both bottom-locked butt joints and butt joints. By means of welding, the upper and lower shells and flanges are connected to form spherical components, which can realize the storage and eff...
