Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of welding, and in particular to a friction stir spot welding weld and a weld repair method and device. Background Art
[0002] Friction stir welding (FSW) is a new solid phase welding technology. Its welding principle is that the high-speed rotating stirring head is pressed into the workpiece to be welded under the action of axial force. Due to the effect of friction, the rotating stirring head directly contacts the workpiece to be welded and generates heat. The material around the contact area of the workpiece to be welded is softened by heat and undergoes plastic deformation. Under the pressure-maintaining and retracting action of the stirring head, a weld with a dense structure is formed. Compared with traditional connection technologies such as fusion welding and resistance spot welding, the quality of the welded joint of friction stir welding has excellent mechanical properties, and the welding tools have a long service life, low energy consumption, low cost, simple operation, and low pollution in the process. It is an economical and efficient "green welding process".
[0003] Among the several types of stir friction welding, direct insertion spot welding is the most widely used one in practical applications. This type of spot welding will inevitably leave a "keyhole" defect after welding, which destroys the integrity of the joint, affects the corrosion resistance and mechanical properties of the joint, and seriously affects the reliability of the joint in some important structural parts. Therefore, in the process of engineering application, the defects need to be repaired.
[0004] In order to avoid keyhole defects, the German HZG Research Center (formerly GKSS) first invented the backfill friction stir spot welding process in 1999. This process requires the equipment to have high control accuracy, and the equipment structure is complex, and the initial investment cost is large. In addition, the easily worn parts, the stirring head, also increase the production cost.
[0005] The Chinese patent application with publication number CN114406443A discloses a stir friction welding keyhole repair method based on the solid-state connection principle. The method is specifically as follows: a split welding tool is designed, including a consumable filling welding column, a non-consumable shoulder, a clamping body and a fastening screw. First, the welding tool is fixed to the stir friction welding tool handle and is on the same vertical axis as the weld keyhole defect, and the automatic operation program parameters are set to make the welding tool slowly rotate and press down; secondly, the welding column and the keyhole are heated by friction, so that they are thermoplastic solid connection; finally, an overload force is applied in the horizontal direction, and the stress concentration point on the welding column is used to cut off the welding column to fill the keyhole defect. This method can effectively realize the repair of the stir friction welding keyhole defect of thick plate aluminum alloy, with low cost, clear and complete surface after welding, and high mechanical properties. It is an innovative and efficient way to solve the stir friction welding keyhole defect. However, this method fills the keyhole in an inverted cone shape with a wide top and a narrow bottom. The filling material is easy to fall off from the keyhole when subjected to force, and the reliability of the weld after the defect repair cannot be guaranteed. Summary of the invention
