Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of welding technology, and in particular to a double-wire welding method and apparatus. Background Technology

[0002] Twin-wire welding in gas metal arc welding (GMAW) consists of two MIG / MAG welding power sources (referred to as the front wire and rear wire, respectively), two wire feeders, and a welding torch. The two welding power sources have communication and coordination functions. Due to its higher deposition efficiency, higher welding speed, stable welding process, and good welding performance, twin-wire welding is increasingly widely used, especially in the large-fill welding of medium and thick plates and the rapid welding of thin plates.

[0003] However, when using the twin-wire welding technique to weld lap joints of thin plates, problems such as undercut and significant workpiece deformation can easily occur, affecting the welding quality. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method and apparatus for improving the quality of twin-wire welding.

[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides a twin-wire welding method, comprising:

[0006] Determine the amount of heat input to the base material from the electric arc required during welding, based on the welding conditions.

[0007] The welding mode is determined based on the heat input and the welding conditions.

[0008] Based on the welding mode, the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply and the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply are set.

[0009] Among them, at least one of the front wire welding power source and the rear wire welding power source outputs a welding current in the form of a mixture of pulse and DC welding current.

[0010] The present invention also provides a twin-wire welding apparatus for improving welding quality, comprising:

[0011] The heat input determination module is used to determine the amount of heat input from the electric arc to the base material required during welding, based on the welding conditions.

[0012] The welding mode determination module is used to determine the welding mode based on the heat input and the welding conditions.

[0013] The welding current setting module is used to set the welding current output by the front wire welding power source and the welding current output by the rear wire welding power source based on the welding mode.

[0014] Among them, at least one of the front wire welding power source and the rear wire welding power source outputs a welding current in the form of a mixture of pulse and DC welding current.

[0015] This invention, through its embodiments, determines the required heat input of the arc to the base material during welding based on the welding conditions; determines the welding mode based on the heat input and welding conditions; and sets the welding current output by the front wire welding power source and the rear wire welding power source based on the welding mode. Specifically, at least one of the front and rear wire welding power sources outputs a welding current in a mixed pulse and DC form. By setting at least one of the front and rear wire welding power sources to output a welding current in a mixed pulse and DC form based on the heat input and welding conditions, the heat input of the arc to the base material during dual-wire welding can be controlled to meet requirements. This is particularly effective in welding thin plate lap joints, reducing the heat input of the arc to the base material and avoiding problems such as undercut and deformation, thereby improving welding quality.

[0025] The present application will now be described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawings and embodiments. Through these descriptions, the features and advantages of the present application will become clearer and more apparent.

[0026] The term “exemplary” as used herein means “serving as an example, embodiment, or illustration.” Any embodiment illustrated herein as “exemplary” is not necessarily to be construed as superior to or better than other embodiments. Although various aspects of embodiments are shown in the accompanying drawings, the drawings are not necessarily drawn to scale unless specifically indicated otherwise.

[0027] Furthermore, the technical features involved in the different embodiments of this application described below can be combined with each other as long as they do not conflict with each other.

[0028] The inventors discovered that when using the twin-wire welding technology to weld lap joints of thin plates, the large heat input easily leads to problems such as undercut and significant workpiece deformation. To solve this problem, it is necessary to address how to minimize the heat input of the welding arc to the base material while ensuring welding efficiency and arc stability.

[0029] In traditional gas-shielded metal arc welding (GMAW), the front and rear wires can be welded using either pulse welding or direct current (DC) welding. The combination of the front and rear wires can be either pulse + DC, pulse + pulse, DC + pulse, or DC + DC, for a total of four methods. Through numerous experiments, the inventors discovered that using pulse welding for both the front and rear wires results in the most stable and controllable arc, leading to the best welding performance.

[0030] Based on the above findings, embodiments of the present invention provide a twin-wire welding method to improve welding quality. The method is as follows: Figure 1 As shown, it includes:

[0031] Step 101: Determine the amount of heat input to the base material from the electric arc required during welding, based on the welding conditions;

[0032] Step 102: Determine the welding mode based on the heat input and welding conditions;

[0033] Step 103: Based on the welding mode, set the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply and the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply;

[0034] Among them, at least one of the front wire welding power source and the rear wire welding power source outputs a welding current in the form of a mixture of pulse and DC welding current.

[0035] As can be seen from the above process, the embodiments of the present invention determine the required heat input of the arc to the base material during welding based on the welding conditions; determine the welding mode based on the heat input and welding conditions; and set the welding current output by the front wire welding power source and the rear wire welding power source based on the welding mode. Specifically, at least one of the front wire and rear wire welding power sources outputs a welding current in a mixed pulse and DC form. By setting at least one of the front wire and rear wire welding power sources to output a welding current in a mixed pulse and DC form based on the heat input and welding conditions, the heat input of the arc to the base material during dual-wire welding can be controlled to meet the requirements. Especially when welding thin plate lap joints, this reduces the heat input of the arc to the base material, avoiding problems such as undercut and deformation, thereby improving welding quality.

[0036] In practice, the first step is to determine the required heat input of the electric arc to the base material based on the welding conditions. Specifically, the welding conditions include: welding materials, welding position, base material, welding gas, and welding wire. Based on these conditions, combined with welding experience and historical welding data, a rough estimate of the required heat input of the electric arc to the base material can be determined.

[0037] After determining the required heat input of the electric arc to the base material during welding, the welding mode is determined based on the heat input and welding conditions. Specifically, the welding mode is mainly determined based on the welding plate, the welding position, and the required heat input of the electric arc to the base material during welding. In one specific embodiment, if the welding plate is thin and the heat input is below a preset threshold, the welding mode is determined as the first welding mode; if the welding plate is thick and the welding position is a filler weld, the welding mode is determined as the second welding mode; if the welding position is on the upslope of the workpiece, the welding mode is determined as the third welding mode; and if the welding plate is thick and the welding position involves multiple layers and passes of beveling, the welding mode is determined as the fourth welding mode.

[0038] After determining the welding mode, based on the welding mode, set the welding current output by the front wire welding power source and the welding current output by the rear wire welding power source, and at least one of the front wire welding power sources and the rear wire welding power source outputs a welding current in the form of a pulse and DC mixed welding current.

[0039] Specifically, each cycle of the pulsed and DC hybrid welding current includes a first current waveform and a second current waveform, wherein the first current waveform is a pulsed welding current waveform, and the second current waveform is a short-circuit welding current waveform. For example... Figure 2The diagram shows an example waveform of a welding current in a mixed pulse and DC form. Waveform A is the pulse welding current waveform, and waveform B is the DC welding current, also known as the short-circuit welding current. Waveforms A and B exist within one cycle, and there are no restrictions on the amplitude, peak value, and base value of each waveform. The ratio of the duration of any waveform within one cycle to the cycle itself is called the duty cycle of that waveform. Specifically, there are no restrictions on the duty cycles of waveforms A and B.

[0040] In specific embodiments, based on the welding mode, the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply and the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply are set in various ways.

[0041] In the first embodiment, if the welding mode is the first welding mode, the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply is set to a pulse current; the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply is set to a welding current in the form of a mixture of pulse and DC. Specifically, as follows... Figure 3 The image shows a schematic diagram of the welding current output by the front and rear wires in a specific example. From... Figure 3 As can be seen, the front wire uses full pulse control, while the rear wire uses a multi-control method of pulse + DC, which reduces the overall heat input of the welding. During the switching between pulse welding and DC welding of the rear wire, the change in wire feed speed causes the welding wire to stir the molten pool, which is conducive to the precipitation of gas in the molten pool and reduces the probability of porosity to a certain extent, thus improving the welding quality. Moreover, the amount of heat input can be adjusted by changing the proportion of DC welding, that is, by adjusting the duty cycle of the second current waveform. This mode is more suitable for thin plates, especially for welding lap joints of thin plates.

[0042] In the second embodiment, if the welding mode is the second welding mode; the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply is set to a welding current in the form of a mixture of pulse and DC; the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply is set to a pulse current. Specifically, as follows... Figure 4 The image shows a schematic diagram of the welding current output by the front and rear wires in a specific example. From... Figure 4 As can be seen, the front wire adopts a multi-control method of pulse + DC, while the rear wire adopts a fully pulsed control method. Because the rear wire uses a fully pulsed welding method, the weld formation is more aesthetically pleasing, making it more suitable for thick plate filling applications.

[0043] In the third embodiment, if the welding mode is the third welding mode; the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply is set to a mixed pulse and DC welding current; the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply is set to a mixed pulse and DC welding current; the period of the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply is set to be consistent with the period of the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply; and at any given time, the waveform type of the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply is the same as the waveform type of the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply. Specifically, as shown... Figure 5 The image shows a schematic diagram of the welding current output by the front and rear wires in a specific example. From... Figure 5 As can be seen, when the front wire uses pulse welding, the rear wire also uses pulse welding; when the front wire uses DC welding, the rear wire also uses DC welding. This means the frequency of pulse / DC switching for the rear wire is controlled by the front wire. Specifically, the duty cycle of the first and second current waveforms of the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply needs to be set to match the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply. Compared to the welding current used in the first and second welding modes, the heat input is further reduced. Furthermore, because the front and rear wires use the same welding method, the arc's influence on the molten pool is more consistent. This is suitable for welds with a certain upward slope, preventing the molten pool from sagging during welding and avoiding affecting weld quality.

[0044] In the fourth embodiment, if the welding mode is the fourth welding mode, the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply is set to a mixed pulse and DC welding current; the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply is set to a mixed pulse and DC welding current; the period of the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply is set to be consistent with the period of the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply; and at any given time, the waveform types of the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply and the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply are different, that is, at any given time, the waveform type of the welding current output by the front wire welding power supply is the first current waveform, then the waveform type of the welding current output by the rear wire welding power supply is the second current waveform. Specifically, as follows... Figure 6 The image shows a schematic diagram of the welding current output by the front and rear wires in a specific example. From... Figure 6 It can be seen from this that, with Figure 5 The difference lies in the welding modes of the front and rear wires at the same time. Specifically, when the front wire is pulse welding, the rear wire is DC welding; conversely, when the front wire is DC welding, the rear wire is pulse welding. Similarly, the frequency of pulse / DC switching for the rear wire is controlled by the front wire, but... Figure 5The difference lies in the duty cycle: the first current waveform of the welding current output by the rear wire welding power source needs to be set to match the duty cycle of the second current waveform of the welding current output by the front wire welding power source, and vice versa. Figure 6 The welding current shown has the greatest stirring effect on the molten pool during the entire welding process, which is conducive to the release of gas in the molten pool and effectively reduces the probability of porosity. It is suitable for multi-layer and multi-pass welding of thick plates with bevels.

[0045] In practical applications, before starting welding, it is necessary to first select the welding matching mode, which is one of the four modes mentioned above. Then, the second current waveform in the welding current of the pulse and DC hybrid form needs to be set, that is, parameters such as amplitude and duty cycle need to be set, and then welding work can be carried out.

[0046] Through actual welding operations, the twin-wire welding method provided in this invention has been verified to reduce the heat input of the electric arc to the base material in all four welding modes. In different welding applications, such as differences in workpiece thickness and weld type, the appropriate welding mode can be selected to obtain ideal welding results.

[0047] Based on the same inventive concept, this invention also provides a twin-wire welding device.

[0065] Set the cycle of the welding current output by the back wire welding power source to be consistent with the cycle of the welding current output by the front wire welding power source.

[0066] Furthermore, at any given time, the waveform type of the welding current output by the front wire welding power source is the same as the waveform type of the welding current output by the rear wire welding power source.

[0067] In a specific embodiment, the welding current setting module 703 is specifically used for:

[0071] Set the cycle of the welding current output by the back wire welding power source to be consistent with the cycle of the welding current output by the front wire welding power source.

[0072] Furthermore, at any given time, the waveform type of the welding current output by the front wire welding power source is different from that of the welding current output by the rear wire welding power source.
