Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of bridge maintenance equipment, and in particular to a device for local annealing and removing residual welds of orthotropic steel bridge decks and a method for using the device. Background Art

[0002] Orthotropic steel bridge deck is a structure that bears loads together with the bridge deck top plate, which is composed of vertical and horizontal perpendicular stiffening ribs (longitudinal ribs and transverse ribs). Orthotropic steel bridge deck is one of the important features of modern steel bridges. Orthotropic steel bridge deck structure has the advantages of light weight, high rigidity, high bearing capacity, and easy factory manufacturing. It is widely used in various large and medium span bridges.

[0003] The thickness of the top plate of the orthotropic steel bridge deck is generally 14-18mm, and the longitudinal ribs are usually U-shaped ribs or bulbous flat steel ribs or plate ribs, and the thickness of the longitudinal ribs is generally 6mm or 8mm; during manufacturing, the entire bridge is divided into several sections and assembled in the factory, and the top plate of the bridge deck is welded and fixed with the longitudinal ribs and transverse ribs. After hoisting, the connection between the sections is carried out on the bridge. Usually all longitudinal fillet welds (longitudinal ribs and longitudinal diaphragms, etc.) are through, and the intersection of the transverse ribs or transverse diaphragms with the longitudinal welds and the lower flange of the longitudinal ribs is cut into an arc-shaped notch to avoid them.

[0004] Since welding is a thermal cycle process of rapid local heating and cooling of steel, the parent metal and deposited metal on both sides of the weld will undergo changes in structure and performance during welding. The weld is constrained by the structure and cannot expand and contract freely. After cooling, a large residual stress is generated at the welding site, accompanied by hydrogen embrittlement, embrittlement, hardening or softening, which reduces the performance and strength of the structure. Welding residual stress is the initial stress that has already existed on the cross section of the structure before the structure bears the load. During the service of the structure, the working stress caused by other loads will be superimposed on each other, which will not only reduce the stiffness and stability of the structure, but also seriously affect the fatigue strength of the structure, and the ability to resist stress corrosion cracking and high-temperature creep cracking. The residual stress generated during the welding process will seriously reduce the bearing capacity and fatigue strength of the structure, and even induce cracks and cause catastrophic accidents. As the bridge deck system, the steel bridge deck directly bears the pressure, impact, vibration and shear of vehicle loads, and the bridge deck structure is subjected to complex forces. As the service time of steel bridge deck increases, fatigue cracking is common, especially in the welds between top plate and longitudinal ribs, welds between diaphragms and longitudinal ribs, and the openings of diaphragms. It seriously threatens the safety of bridge structures. Studies have shown that the fatigue life under the coupling of welding residual stress and vehicle load stress decreases by 30% to 40%, and the reduction in fatigue life increases with the increase of residual stress. The residual stress generated by welding is an important factor in inducing and accelerating fatigue cracking of welded joints.

[0005] Post-weld annealing has a good effect on eliminating welding residual stress and hydrogen embrittlement. Post-weld annealing can reduce welding residual stress and improve weld metallographic structure, thereby improving the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance of the weld. During the annealing process, with the disappearance of martensite structure, the precipitation of carbon, carbide and hydrogen, dislocation migration, a small amount of plastic deformation and uniform distribution of grains, the internal structure of the material changes, causing the deformation of internal stress to disappear, and the residual stress of the weld joint is reduced and released and presents a uniform distribution. Since the generation of welding residual stress is often accompanied by changes in material properties caused by welding thermal cycles, heat treatment can restore or partially restore the material properties while eliminating residual stress.

[0006] For a long time, there has been insufficient research and attention paid to the post-weld annealing heat treatment of residual stress at home and abroad, especially the lack of relevant equipment for residual stress of orthotropic steel bridge deck welds and post-weld heat treatment. As a result, in-service orthotropic steel bridge decks only use simple repair welding after weld cracking occurs, but do not take necessary post-weld residual stress detection and dehydrogenation measures. As a result, cracks quickly occur at the repair position after repair welding, which directly causes the deterioration of structural strength and reduces the service life of the bridge. It has become a world headache for bridge repair projects at home and abroad.

[0007] In the related art, an oxyacetylene flame generated by a flame gun is used to heat the welding deformation area of ​​the orthotropic steel bridge deck in a targeted manner to eliminate the residual welding deformation. The heat treatment equipment is relatively simple, the heating temperature is difficult to control, and the heating temperature of the local area is not uniform enough. The heating temperature is difficult to control, and the annealing and residual elimination heat treatment effect is not good; especially for the orthotropic steel bridge deck in service, it is difficult to achieve the purpose of annealing and residual elimination.

[0047] The following is combined with Figure 1 -Attached Fig. 9 , further details of this application are given.

[0048] In this application, in order to solve the problem that a large number of cracks appear in the orthotropic steel bridge decks in service but are difficult to repair, the welds of the orthotropic steel bridge decks are heated and insulated after welding to ultimately achieve the effect of reducing residual stress and dehydrogenation.

[0049] This application is based on the residual stress detection of the corner welds of orthotropic steel bridge decks, and conducts a large number of modeling and real bridge tests on the causes of fatigue cracking of the top plate and longitudinal rib welds, the diaphragm and longitudinal rib welds, and the diaphragm openings. Through analysis, research, and testing, it is finally confirmed that the transverse residual stress of up to 200 MPa after welding induces cracks in the initial defects of the welds under the side effect of vehicle operation stress; at the same time, the longitudinal welding residual stress of up to 400 MPa (which has exceeded the yield strength of the parent material) is the main reason for the rapid expansion of cracks.

[0050] After clarifying that welding residual stress is the main cause of weld fatigue cracking, a large number of research and development of various residual elimination technologies were carried out, and it was finally confirmed that post-weld heat treatment of welds is the best method for residual elimination and dehydrogenation. On this basis, the relevant equipment for residual elimination and dehydrogenation for local heating and annealing of orthotropic steel bridge deck welds to reduce weld residual stress was developed, filling the gap in technical equipment for post-weld heat treatment of orthotropic steel bridge deck defects in service at home and abroad. After the relevant equipment and methods in this application were used to repair cracks in actual bridges, the effect was good. The post-weld residual longitudinal stress detection was reduced from an average of 400 MPa to about 120 MPa, and the transverse residual stress was reduced from 150 MPa to less than 100 MPa. No delayed cracks caused by hydrogen embrittlement occurred, and good social and economic benefits were achieved.

[0057] The present application also discloses a method for using a device for local annealing and removing residual welds of an orthotropic steel bridge deck, wherein the device for local annealing and removing residual welds of an orthotropic steel bridge deck is used to perform local annealing and removing residual welds of an orthotropic steel bridge deck; the method for using the device for local annealing and removing residual welds of an orthotropic steel bridge deck comprises the following steps: S1: Smooth surface: Mill or grind the top plate 80, diaphragm and rib plate defect welds of the orthotropic steel bridge to make the surface smooth; S2: Install and adjust the equipment: install the weld local annealing and residual removal equipment at the bottom of the top plate 80, the first driving member 60 pushes the first mounting seat 30 and the second mounting seat 40 to move toward the orthotropic steel bridge rib plate and hold it; the heating plate 50 on the first mounting seat 30 abuts against the bottom of the orthotropic steel bridge top plate 80, and the heating plate 50 on the first mounting seat 30 abuts against the orthotropic steel bridge rib plate; S3: Heat treatment: Select appropriate temperature control program and parameters, preset heating temperature and time, and perform heating annealing, residual dehydrogenation treatment on the weld; S4: Inspection: After the heat treatment is completed, the equipment is dismantled and then residual stress detection and acceptance are carried out.

[0058] The implementation principle is as follows: The equipment in this application is used to repair fatigue cracking of the welds between the longitudinal ribs 90 and the top plate 80, which are the most common defects in the orthotropic steel bridge decks in service. When in use, the equipment is installed at the bottom of the top plate 80, and the first driving member 60 pushes the first mounting seat 30 and the second mounting seat 40 to move toward the orthotropic steel bridge rib plate and hold it; the heating plate 50 on the first mounting seat 30 abuts against the bottom of the orthotropic steel bridge top plate 80, and the heating plate 50 on the first mounting seat 30 abuts against the orthotropic steel bridge rib plate; the heating temperature and heating time of the heating plate 50 are controlled by the heating temperature control system 20, so as to perform heat treatment on the weld to achieve the effect of eliminating welding residual stress, and at the same time improve the metallographic structure of the weld, thereby improving the mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and fatigue resistance of the weld.

[0059] As shown in Table 1, during the annealing process, since the annealing temperature peak is 600°C, the base material does not undergo austenite transformation, and martensite is a supersaturated solid solution of carbon in α-Fe. As the annealing process proceeds, element diffusion and element combination cause carbon and carbides to precipitate at the α-Fe grain boundaries, and the supersaturated state of carbon in α-Fe disappears, forming a mixed structure of α-Fe and carbides, namely bainite structure. During the annealing process, with the disappearance of martensitic structure, precipitation of carbon and carbides, dislocation migration, a small amount of plastic deformation, and uniform distribution of grains, the internal structure of the material changes, causing the deformation of internal stress to disappear, and the residual stress of the weld joint is reduced and released and presents a uniform distribution.

Through the heating plate in the relevant equipment, the outer side of the heating plate is completely fitted to the outer side of the rib plate and the welding corners on the left and right sides of the upper side with the most flat and uniform force. Compared with the existing technology, this achieves uniform annealing heat treatment of the rib plate butt welds, thereby more uniformly eliminating welding residual stress; the relevant equipment in the present application is easy to install and disassemble, has a high degree of automation, and has good heating and heat preservation effects; the entire equipment is easy to carry and can be reused, reducing production costs; the method in the present application is conducive to completing the post-weld annealing of orthotropic steel bridge decks, can shorten the construction period, save construction costs, effectively connect the construction processes, conform to the concept of green construction, and has strong practicality. The key technology of the annealing process has the advantages of high stress elimination rate and simple operation.

[0061] Reference Figure 8 and Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, based on the test data of residual stress changes before and after annealing obtained after thousands of actual bridge experiments, in this application, the transverse residual stress of the repaired weld is reduced by 75%, and the longitudinal residual stress is reduced by more than 80% after automatic heating, insulation, cooling and other process treatments are performed on the repaired weld. The hydrogen embrittlement phenomenon is basically eliminated, and the residual elimination effect is obvious, which solves the world's difficult problem of repeated cracking of in-service bridges in a short period of time after repair.
