Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of circumferential welding of large thin-walled cylinders, and particularly to a device and method for removing residual stress in circumferential welding of large thin-walled cylinders for hydraulic equipment used in industries such as military, aerospace, and precision machining. Background Art

[0002] Welding is used in many fields such as petrochemical industry, pressure vessels, aerospace, transportation and construction. The common principle of the molten welding structure is that after the joint and the filler metal are melted, they are cooled and solidified at a relatively fast speed.

[0003] During the welding process, the welding joint material cools rapidly from the liquid state to the solid state and the temperature change is large, resulting in thermal expansion and contraction. Therefore, the volume of the welded part will shrink. Since the weld material is connected to the base material, the deformation is restricted, resulting in residual stress in the weld. The peak value, distribution, etc. of the residual stress in the welding joint will directly have a serious impact on the comprehensive mechanical properties, fatigue strength, buckling state, and even stress corrosion cracking of the welded part or other mechanical components. Therefore, removing the welding residual stress and equalizing the stress distribution are of great significance for improving the mechanical properties of the welded components, enhancing the stability, safety, and service life of chemical equipment pressure vessels.

[0004] For the treatment of welding residual stress, methods such as overall heat treatment, thermal aging, and vibration aging are basically adopted. Thermal aging can effectively reduce the residual stress, but the temperature control requirements are strict, and additional thermal stress is easily generated or the material surface oxidation is caused; the vibration aging method has a good improvement on the mechanical properties of the welded parts, but the disadvantage is that it is easy to cause the fatigue strength of the workpiece to not meet the standard after removing the residual stress.

[0005] Using the traditional method to treat welding residual stress is costly, inconvenient to carry, and there will be a softening problem in the subsequent treatment of materials by heat treatment methods; moreover, the above treatment methods are not very suitable for treating large thin-walled cylinders.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need to provide a new device and method for removing residual stress in circumferential welding of large thin-walled cylinders to solve the above-mentioned disadvantages in the prior art. Summary of the Invention

[0040] To make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more obvious and understandable, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific implementation manners.

[0041] Embodiment 1

[0056] Embodiment Two

[0057] This embodiment is an improvement based on Embodiment One, and the improvement lies in:

[0058] As Figures 4-8As shown in the figure, the pipe matching device mainly includes a support wheel 13, a hydraulic lifting platform 15 and a support frame 11; the support frame 11 is used to support the cylindrical welded part 3, and the support wheel 13 is installed on the support frame 11, and the support wheel 13 contacts the cylindrical welded part 3. When the rotating motor 14 on the support frame 11 drives the support wheel 13 to rotate, the cylindrical welded part 3 also rotates, and the electromagnetic energy stress relieving device 12 located at the bottom processes the weld 1.

[0059] In this embodiment, the electromagnetic energy stress relieving device 12 is mainly composed of an electromagnetic energy stress relieving magnetic head and an induction heating magnetic head; among them, the electromagnetic energy stress relieving magnetic head is mainly composed of an electromagnetic energy stress relieving magnetic head iron core 8 and an electromagnetic energy stress relieving magnetic head coil 4, and the induction heating magnetic head is mainly composed of an induction heating magnetic head iron core 6 and an induction heating magnetic head coil 5.

[0062] In the actual site, first adjust the distance between the two support frames 11 according to the size of the cylindrical welded part 3, then place the cylindrical welded part 3 on the support frame 11 in contact with the support wheel 13, place the hydraulic lifting platform 15 between the two support frames 11, and the electromagnetic energy stress relieving device 12 is installed on the fixed plate 7 of the hydraulic lifting platform 15 so that the electromagnetic energy stress relieving device 12 is directly below the weld 1, and adjust the hydraulic lifting platform 15 to make the electromagnetic energy stress relieving device 12 at a suitable distance from the weld 1. The induction heating magnetic head coil 5 is connected to a 300 - 300 kHz intermediate frequency induction power supply for preheating; at the same time, the electromagnetic energy stress relieving magnetic head coil 4 is connected to a controllable electromagnetic energy CEME special power supply for stress elimination. Finally, turn on the rotating motor 14 to drive the support wheel 13 to rotate the whole workpiece to eliminate the residual stress.

[0063] The technical requirements of this embodiment for the device for removing residual stress in the circumferential welding of large - diameter thin - wall cylinders:

[0064] For the induction heating magnetic head, local induction low - temperature preheating treatment of the weld 1 is carried out.

[0069] Cylindrical welded workpiece 3, with a diameter of 10 m and a wall thickness of 10 mm.

[0070] Embodiment Three

[0071] This embodiment further elaborates in detail on the process of removing residual stress from SA508 - 4 steel.

[0072] Two pieces of SA508 - 4 steel are welded together, and the welded part is subjected to electromagnetic energy residual stress removal treatment. The induction heating head and the electromagnetic energy stress relief head are arranged in a row and moved at a speed of 10 mm / s. The distance between the heads and the welded part is 10 mm. The heads process the welded joint of SA508 - 4 steel. The dedicated power supply for controllable electromagnetic energy (CEME) is set with a duty cycle of 20%, a frequency of 20 Hz, and a peak current of 100 A; a 100 kHz intermediate frequency induction power supply is used to heat the induction heating head.

[0073] The drilling strain method is used to detect the residual stress. Strain rosettes are pasted at the center and edge of the welded joint, and holes are drilled on the strain rosettes to measure the strain released on the surface of the welded joint. The measured strain is substituted into the formula to calculate the residual stress of the part where the material has been removed.

[0074] Electromagnetic energy acts on SA508-4 steel in a magneto-thermal coupling manner, making the vibration of atoms at the welding joint more intense, prompting the atoms to tend to the low-energy state, thereby reducing or eliminating residual stress; the use of electromagnetic energy to remove residual stress can achieve advantages such as non-contact and pollution-free. The welding joint of SA508-4 steel is polished, strain rosettes are pasted at the center and edge of the weld, perpendicular to the welding direction, holes are drilled at the center of the strain rosette to release residual stress, and the electromagnetic energy stress-relieving head is used to process the welding joint of SA508-4 steel; under the combined action of thermal-electromagnetic energy, the maximum reduction in residual stress in the X direction is 69.0%, the average value is 54.3%, and the maximum reduction in residual stress in the Y direction is 47.8%, the average value is 41.6%. Facts have proved that the residual stress at the welded joint processed by electromagnetic energy has been greatly reduced.

[0075] Example 4

[0076] This example further details the process of removing residual stress from the welding of Q690 high-strength steel.

[0077] The material used in the test is Q690 high-strength steel, with a specification of 300mm×80mm×10mm. A U-shaped groove of 300mm×6mm×4mm is milled at the center of the steel plate using a milling machine, and welding is carried out using gas metal arc surfacing. The residual stress is measured by the drilling strain method as Figure 9 , and a control test is carried out on 12 points of the Q690 high-strength steel plate. The dedicated power supply of controllable electromagnetic energy CEME is set to a frequency of 10Hz, a peak current of 25A, a processing time of 30s, the distance between the magnetic head and the steel plate is 5mm, and the magnetic induction intensity reaches 1.3T. In this experiment, only the electromagnetic energy stress-relieving head is used, and the combined action of electromagnetic energy-thermal energy is not adopted.

[0078] Using electromagnetic energy to remove residual stress is a convenient, fast, and simple method for removing residual stress. Under a certain magnetic field intensity, it can promote the migration of atoms inside the Q690 steel plate, so that the atoms move to a more stable low-energy state, achieving the reduction or removal of residual stress. It can be clearly seen from Table 1 that for the Q690 high-strength steel processed by electromagnetic energy, the residual stress has been significantly reduced. When the distance between the magnetic head and the test point position is 5mm, the maximum reduction in the X-axis direction is 69.75%, the average value is 55.21%, the maximum reduction in the Y-axis direction is 57.45%, and the average value is 42.43%. Facts have proved that the steel plate processed by electromagnetic energy has greatly reduced the residual stress, enabling the workpiece to maintain good mechanical properties to the greatest extent.
