[0035] The application will be further described below with examples.

[0036] A flux-cored wire for additive manufacturing of offshore pipe structure is composed of a metal powder core and a stainless steel strip, the metal powder core is wrapped in the stainless steel strip, the stainless steel strip is a 304L stainless steel strip, the mass fraction of each component of the metal powder core is: chromium powder 17.2-19%, molybdenum powder 11.8-12.2%, manganese powder 4.2-4.6%, silicon powder 2.26-2.46%, sodium fluoride 0.8-1.2%, lanthanum oxide 0.1-0.2%, and the rest is iron powder, the sum of the mass percentages of the above component contents is 100%.

[0037] The diameter of the flux-cored wire is 1.2-2mm, and the filling rate of the metal powder core is 20-25wt%.

[0038] The preparation method of the flux-cored wire for additive manufacturing of offshore pipe structure comprises the following steps:

[0039] Step 1, according to the mass percentage, the corresponding mass of chromium powder, molybdenum powder, manganese powder, silicon powder, sodium fluoride, lanthanum oxide and iron powder is weighed respectively, and after mixing uniformly, it is placed in a tube furnace, argon is continuously introduced, and after baking at 200-300℃ for 2-3h, it is cooled to room temperature;

[0040] Step 2, place the 304L stainless steel strip on the strip placing machine of the wire forming machine, and roll the 304L stainless steel strip into a U-shaped groove through the pressure groove of the forming machine, and fill the flux-cored powder obtained in step 1 into the U-shaped groove;

[0041] Step 3, the forming machine makes the U-shaped groove roll and close, and after passing through the closed forming roller, the primary wire is prepared, and then the decontaminating agent is used to wipe clean and then draw, and after gradually reducing the diameter, the desired diameter is obtained, and then the decontaminating agent is used to wipe clean and wipe off the oil stains on the wire;

[0042] Step 4, the wire is straightened, coiled into a disc, sealed and packaged by the wire drawing machine, and the preparation is completed.

[0043] The decontaminating agent in step 3 is acetone or anhydrous ethanol.

[0044] The method for using the offshore pipe structure additive flux-cored wire comprises the following steps: loading the prepared metal type flux-cored wire into a full-automatic welding robot, planning a welding path, determining a layer height, inputting a program into the welding machine, and running the welding machine command.

[0045] The process parameters of the MIG welding are as follows: a welding speed is 0.21 m / min-0.25 m / min; a welding gun is lifted by 1.5 mm-2 mm per layer; and a protective gas is 100% argon.

[0046] The mechanism of the chemical component design of the welding wire is as follows:

[0047] The welding wire component design combines the Schaeffler diagram of the duplex stainless steel, and the content of Cr elements and Ni elements is reduced according to the calculation formula of the Cr and Ni equivalent shown above, so that the duplex stainless steel arc additive flux-cored wire is designed.

[0048] The transition elements in the welding wire include Cr, Ni, Mo, Mn, Si and RE. The Cr element is the most important element for corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel, the chromium can form a dense Cr2O3 film on the surface, which effectively prevents the penetration of the corrosion medium, and the chromium has another main effect on the duplex stainless steel, that is, promoting the formation of ferrite and reducing the austenite phase area. The Cr content in the 2205 duplex stainless steel is about 22%, and the sigma phase is precipitated in the structure at high temperature, the sigma phase is a typical iron-chromium compound, and the sigma phase is relatively brittle and hard, the precipitation of the sigma phase in the duplex stainless steel can seriously reduce the chromium content at the grain boundary of the matrix structure, and can reduce the corrosion resistance of the duplex stainless steel and cause embrittlement.

[0049] Ni is a strong austenite forming element, in the phase diagram, nickel can expand the austenite phase area, and with the increase of the nickel content in the duplex stainless steel, the gamma-alpha transition temperature also decreases, so that the austenite can exist stably at room temperature under rapid cooling.

[0050] Mo element is one of the most important alloying elements of duplex stainless steel. Its effect in duplex stainless steel is similar to that of chromium element, and molybdenum can also reduce the austenite phase area, which means that molybdenum can promote the formation of ferrite.

[0051] The Mn and Si elements can effectively remove impurity elements such as S, O and P in the weld, and a small amount of silicon added in the steel can significantly improve the oxidation resistance; the rare earth element lanthanum is added to play the role of modification and purification. In addition, sodium fluoride is added as an arc stabilizer to reduce the spatter rate of the metal type flux-cored wire during the accumulation process and improve the welding process of the flux-cored wire.

[0052] Based on the Schaeffler diagram and the relationship between austenite-forming elements and ferrite-forming elements, an economical duplex stainless steel was designed, containing a flux-cored wire composition with low Cr equivalent and even lower Ni equivalent. The alloying elements in the deposited metal of the structural components are obtained from stainless steel strip and added alloy powder. The content of each alloying element in the flux-cored wire of the transition layer metal-type welding wire was calculated using the proportion of alloying elements in the alloy powder, the element transition coefficient, the wire filling rate, and the alloying element content of the stainless steel strip. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0053] (Formula 1)

[0054] Where ω1 is the content of each alloy element in the "cored core" of the transition layer metal-cored welding wire to be calculated; α is the theoretical element content of the transition layer deposited metal; and θ is the filling rate of the metal-cored welding wire. w 2 represents the content of alloying elements in the outer steel strip; μ represents the transition coefficient of the alloying element; and η represents the mass percentage of the element in the alloy powder.
