AI Technical Summary
Existing underwater local dry welding techniques cannot effectively repair defects and leaks in the corners and surrounding areas of underwater facilities, resulting in welding dead zones.
A local dry welding device for the corner areas of underwater facilities was designed. By sliding the upper shell and the lower shell together, a closed welding space is formed. The device is filled with watertight welding equipment and protective gas for filling and draining, so as to achieve local dry welding of the corner areas.
Effective welding of the edges and corners of underwater facilities and surrounding areas was achieved, solving the problem of welding dead zones and ensuring repair quality and safety.
