Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of welding, and in particular relates to a gas shielded arc welding method for connecting dissimilar metals of ultra-thin plates. Background Art

[0002] Dissimilar metal connection structures can maximize the performance advantages of each material and make the best use of materials. They have broad application prospects in rail transportation, aerospace, energy and chemical industry, marine equipment, daily utensils, sports equipment and medical equipment. The thickness requirements for dissimilar metal connections range from ultra-thin plates to thick plates. Especially in recent years, with the rapid development of the economy and the widespread use of new materials, the demand for ultra-thin plate dissimilar metal connections has become increasingly widespread. However, due to the significant differences in physical and chemical properties of ultra-thin plate dissimilar metals and the thin thickness of the plate, the welding methods that can be used are limited, and it is extremely difficult to achieve efficient and reliable connections.

[0003] At present, the overall ultra-thin plate dissimilar metal connection technology has problems such as low welding efficiency, high cost and poor performance. The strength and sealing of the welded joints still cannot meet the use requirements. For example, the brazing filler metal is expensive, the assembly requirements are high, the mechanical properties are low, and the requirements for structures with high airtightness requirements cannot be met; the equipment for resistance spot welding is complex, difficult to maintain, and the cost is high; laser welding equipment is expensive, the processing accuracy requirements are high, and it is difficult to connect dissimilar metals with high reflectivity; friction welding is only suitable for round section parts, and its equipment is also relatively complex. For ultra-thin plate dissimilar metal connection, the main disadvantages of various methods are as follows:

[0004] (1) Poor welding flexibility. For example, composite transition joints cannot adapt to the connection of complex dissimilar metal components.

[0005] (2) The welding efficiency is low and the welding cost is high. For example, the diffusion welding connection time is long and the electron beam welding cost is high.

[0006] (3) The form and size of the welded joint are limited. For example, brazing mostly uses lap joints, and the vacuum conditions of electron beam welding limit the size.

[0007] (4) The welding joint performance is low and the sealing performance is poor, such as brazing method;

[0008] (5) The welding process is complicated, the weld formation is poor, and defects such as pores, cracks, weld penetration, and lack of fusion are easily generated;

[0009] (6) It is difficult to completely avoid the formation of brittle structure, which reduces the overall performance of the welded joint;

[0010] (7) The stress and residual deformation of the connection structure are large, and the forming accuracy is difficult to meet the use requirements.

[0011] In summary, how to efficiently and massively achieve the connection of ultra-thin plates with dissimilar metals in order to reduce costs, how to effectively avoid the performance degradation or even cracking caused by the formation of brittle structures in the weld, how to reduce the large welding stress and deformation caused by the difference in the physical properties of dissimilar metals, and how to achieve high-quality connection of ultra-thin plates with dissimilar metals to meet performance requirements and avoid various welding defects are the core issues that need to be solved in the connection of ultra-thin plates with dissimilar metals. In order to solve these connection problems, it is necessary to adopt new combined welding materials, develop new connection processes, accurately control the heat input and temperature of the connection area, eliminate brittle structures, control stress and deformation, and form a new type of ultra-thin plate dissimilar metal connection technology. Summary of the invention

[0012] In view of the problems that the welding method for connecting dissimilar metals of ultra-thin plates has complex welding process, low efficiency, high cost, difficulty in accurately controlling heat input and temperature in the connection area, easy generation of brittle structure, poor weld formation, large welding stress and deformation, easy generation of defects such as pores, cracks, weld penetration, and lack of fusion, difficulty in regulating the structure of the welded joint, and poor sealing and mechanical properties, the present invention proposes a gas shielded arc welding method for connecting dissimilar metals of ultra-thin plates.

[0013] In order to achieve the above-mentioned object of the invention, the present invention is implemented by adopting the following technical solutions:

[0014] A gas shielded arc welding method for ultra-thin plate dissimilar metal connection comprises the following steps:

[0015] (1) designing and preparing a metal transition section C according to the composition, components, physical and chemical properties and shape characteristics of the base material A and base material B in the dissimilar metals to be connected;

[0016] (2) designing the type, composition and content of the welding wire 1 having good chemical compatibility with the base material A and the metal transition section C according to the composition, components, physical and chemical properties of the base material A and the metal transition section C to be connected, and preparing the welding wire 1;

[0017] (3) The connected end face of the base material A and the connected end face of the metal transition section C have a suitable spacing, the type of gas shielded arc welding is determined, the gas shielded arc welding mode and welding process parameters are set, the welding gas supply system and welding equipment are started, the axial extension line of the welding wire 1 is directed to the connected end face, and gas shielded arc welding is performed;

[0018] (4) designing the type, composition and content of the welding wire 2 having good chemical compatibility with the base material B and the metal transition section C according to the composition, components, physical and chemical properties of the base material B and the metal transition section C to be connected, and preparing the welding wire 2;

[0019] (5) The connected end face of the base material B and the connected end face of the metal transition section C have an appropriate spacing, the type of gas shielded arc welding is determined, the gas shielded arc welding mode and welding process parameters are set, the welding gas supply system and welding equipment are started, the intersection of the axial extension line of the welding wire 2 and the surface of the metal transition section C is at an appropriate distance from the point closest to the connected end face of the metal transition section C, and the distance is kept unchanged during the welding process, and gas shielded arc welding is implemented.

[0020] The basic principle of a gas shielded arc welding method for ultra-thin plate dissimilar metal joining is as follows:

[0021] First, a metal transition section C is designed, which requires good chemical compatibility between the metal transition section C and the base material A, and the designed welding wire 1 is required to have good chemical compatibility with both the base material A and the metal transition section C, so as to avoid the formation of brittle structures such as brittle intermetallic compounds at the connection joint between the base material A and the metal transition section C, which leads to poor weld performance or even cracking. Since the chemical compatibility between the base material A and the base material B is poor, brittle intermetallic compounds will be formed if they are directly melted and connected. Therefore, the metal transition section C is used for isolation to achieve the connection between the base material A and the metal transition section C. The designed metal transition section C has good chemical compatibility with the base material A, and the used welding wire 1 has good chemical compatibility with both the metal transition section C and the base material A. The connected end face of the base material A and the connected end face of the metal transition section C have a suitable spacing. Therefore, the connection joint between the metal transition section C and the base material A can eliminate the brittle structure, so that the weld is well formed, and the welding quality between the base material A and the metal transition section C is ensured.

[0022] Secondly, the melting point of the designed metal transition section C is greater than that of the base material B, and the heat input and temperature of the connection zone are precisely controlled by designing the welding wire 2, adjusting the welding position of the welding wire 2, and regulating the distance between the end face of the connected metal transition section C and the end face of the base material B, so as to avoid the formation of brittle structure in the connection joint of the base material B and the metal transition section C. Due to the large difference in physical properties and poor chemical compatibility between the dissimilar metal base materials A and B, it is difficult to simultaneously meet the requirements of good chemical compatibility with both the base materials A and B by using a single metal transition section C. If the types and quantities of metal transition sections need to be increased in order to meet the chemical compatibility, the welding process will be complicated, the number of welds will increase, the cost will increase, the welding efficiency will decrease, and the welding stress and deformation will be large. Therefore, a single metal transition section must be used. However, due to the poor chemical compatibility between the metal transition section C and the base material B, in order to avoid the formation of brittle structures such as intermetallic compounds when the two are connected, strict requirements need to be imposed on the physical and chemical properties of the metal transition section C, the base material B and the welding wire 2, as well as the welding process. Therefore, on the one hand, it is required that the connected end face of the base material B and the connected end face of the metal transition section C have an appropriate spacing to isolate the base material B and the metal transition section C. At the same time, it is required that the chemical compatibility of the welding wire 2 with the metal transition section C and the base material B is good, so that after the welding wire 2 is melted, it fills the gap between the connected end face of the base material B and the connected end face of the metal transition section C to avoid direct contact between the metal transition section C and the base material B and eliminate the brittle structure. On the other hand, it is required that the melting point of the metal transition section C is greater than that of the base material B, and the melting point of the base material B is greater than the melting point of the welding wire 2. The position of the welding wire 2 is set, and the distance between the intersection of the axial extension line of the welding wire 2 and the surface of the metal transition section C and the point closest to the connected end face of the metal transition section C is appropriate. Therefore, first of all, since the melting point of the metal transition section C is the highest, by pointing the welding wire 2 to the side of the metal transition section C, that is, directing the corresponding arc to On one side of the metal transition section C, the metal transition section C is slightly melted, and a micro-melting connection is achieved on the side of the metal transition section C to avoid forming a brazing connection. At the same time, it also avoids excessive melting of the metal transition section C, that is, the dilution rate of the metal transition section is high, resulting in excessive diffusion of the melted elements of the metal transition section C into the molten pool, thereby mixing and contacting with the elements of the parent material B entering the molten pool to form brittle structures such as intermetallic compounds. Secondly, the welding wire 2 is directed to one side of the metal transition section C, that is, the arc center is deviated from the parent material B, thereby reducing the heat input of the parent material B, reducing the heat absorbed by the parent material B, and lowering the temperature of the parent material B, thereby avoiding the parent material temperature being too high and excessive melting, resulting in the parent material B being welded through. At the same time, it also avoids the dilution rate of the parent material B being too large, resulting in excessive diffusion of the melted elements of the parent material B into the molten pool, thereby mixing and contacting with a small amount of elements of the metal transition section C entering the molten pool to form brittle structures such as intermetallic compounds.Therefore, by designing the metal transition section C and the welding wire 2, setting the distance between the connected end faces, and adjusting the position of the welding wire 2, it is possible to avoid the formation of brittle structure and the formation of a brazing joint on one side of the high-melting-point metal transition section, thereby reducing the mechanical properties and sealing properties, avoid welding penetration of the low-melting-point base material B and excessive dilution rate of the base material B, eliminate welding defects and brittle structure, and ensure the welding quality and performance between the base material B and the metal transition section C.

[0023] Thirdly, appropriate gas shielded arc welding types, welding modes and welding processes are used, as well as the position of the welding wire 2 is precisely adjusted and the distance between the connected end faces of the base material B and the connected end faces of the metal transition section C is regulated, so as to precisely control the heat input and temperature of the connection area between the base material B and the metal transition section C, and ensure that a micro-melting connection with a low dilution rate is formed on one side of the metal transition section C, so as to avoid the reduction in sealing and low mechanical properties of the connection joint caused by brazing, and to avoid the formation of brittle structure or even cracking in the weld area caused by a high dilution rate.

[0024] From this, the shapes of the base material A, base material B and metal transition section C include plane type and three-dimensional type. The shape of the metal transition section C is determined according to the shapes of the connected base materials A and B and the requirements of the connected components. If the shapes of the connected base materials A and B are circular plane type, then the shape of the metal transition section C can be circular plane type or cylindrical three-dimensional type. If the shapes of the connected base materials A and B are cylindrical three-dimensional type, then the shape of the metal transition section C is also cylindrical three-dimensional type, thereby ensuring that ultra-thin plate dissimilar metals of any shape can be connected and complex ultra-thin plate dissimilar metal connection components can be prepared.

[0025] Finally, appropriate gas shielded arc welding types, welding modes and welding processes are used, the distance between the connected end faces is optimized, the position of the welding wire is accurately adjusted, and the heat input and temperature of the connection areas between the base material A and the metal transition section C, and the base material B and the metal transition section C are accurately controlled, thereby achieving comprehensive regulation of the organization and performance of each connection area, reducing stress and deformation, avoiding defects such as welding through, lack of fusion, cracks, and incomplete penetration, and achieving excellent weld formation, so that the internal quality of the weld and the overall performance of the joint are excellent.

[0026] Compared with the prior art, the gas shielded arc welding method for ultra-thin plate dissimilar metal connection provided by the present invention has the beneficial effect of being able to solve the problems of ultra-thin plate dissimilar metal connection such as large stress and deformation caused by large difference in physical properties, poor chemical compatibility and too thin plate, easy formation of brittle structure in weld, poor performance of weld joint and easy welding through. The welding method provided by the present invention has simple welding process, good welding flexibility, high welding efficiency, low cost, precise and controllable heat input and temperature in the connection zone, can avoid coarse grains in the heat affected zone, can avoid the formation of brittle structure, can avoid the formation of brazing, has small welding stress and deformation, good weld formation, easy regulation of weld joint structure and performance, excellent internal quality of weld, no defects such as pores, cracks, welding through, incomplete fusion and incomplete welding, and excellent comprehensive performance of the weld joint.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0033] (3) The connected end face of the base material A and the connected end face of the metal transition section C have a suitable spacing, the type of gas shielded arc welding is determined, the gas shielded arc welding mode and welding process parameters are set, the welding gas supply system and welding equipment are started, the axial extension line of the welding wire 1 is directed to the connected end face, and gas shielded arc welding is performed;

[0034] (4) designing the type, composition and content of the welding wire 2 having good chemical compatibility with the base material B and the metal transition section C according to the composition, components, physical and chemical properties of the base material B and the metal transition section C to be connected, and preparing the welding wire 2;

[0035] (5) The connected end face of the base material B and the connected end face of the metal transition section C have an appropriate spacing, the type of gas shielded arc welding is determined, the gas shielded arc welding mode and welding process parameters are set, the welding gas supply system and welding equipment are started, the intersection of the axial extension line of the welding wire 2 and the surface of the metal transition section C is at an appropriate distance from the point closest to the connected end face of the metal transition section C, and the distance is kept unchanged during the welding process, and gas shielded arc welding is implemented.

[0036] Specifically, in step (1), a metal transition section C is designed according to the composition, components, physical and chemical properties and shape characteristics of the base materials A and B in the dissimilar metals to be connected, so that the base materials A and the metal transition section C are connected, and the metal transition section C and the base material B are connected, that is, the base materials A and the base material B are indirectly connected, so as to avoid the brittle structure formed by the poor compatibility of chemical elements caused by the direct connection of the base materials A and the base material B, which makes the weld performance deteriorate or even crack.

[0037] In step (2), a welding wire 1 having good chemical compatibility with both the base material A and the metal transition section C is designed according to the composition, components, physical and chemical properties of the base material A and the metal transition section C to be connected. The base material A and the metal transition section C are connected by the welding wire 1. Due to the good chemical compatibility of the three, the molten welding wire 1 is mixed with the partially molten base material A and the partially molten metal transition section C to form a molten pool, and the weld formed after solidification can avoid the formation of a brittle structure.

[0038] In step (3), the connected end faces of the base material A and the connected end faces of the metal transition section C have a suitable spacing, the gas shielded arc welding mode and welding process parameters are set, the axial extension line of the welding wire 1 points to the connected end faces, and by optimizing the connected end face spacing, welding mode, process parameters and welding wire position, the heat input and temperature of the connection area are precisely controlled to ensure that the base material A and the metal transition section C can be connected with high quality after the welding wire is melted, the weld is well formed, and the stress and deformation are small.

[0039] In step (4), a welding wire 2 having good chemical compatibility with both the base material B and the metal transition section C is designed according to the composition, components, physical and chemical properties of the base material B and the metal transition section C to be connected, so that the welding wire 2 is filled into the gap between the connected end face of the base material B and the connected end face of the metal transition section C after melting, thereby connecting the base material B and the metal transition section C, avoiding direct contact between the metal transition section C and the base material B, and eliminating the brittle structure.

[0040] In step (5), the connected end face of the base material B and the connected end face of the metal transition section C have a suitable spacing, the gas shielded arc welding mode and welding process parameters are set, the intersection of the axial extension line of the welding wire 2 and the surface of the metal transition section C is at a suitable distance from the point closest to the connected end face of the metal transition section C, and the distance is kept unchanged during the welding process. In this way, by setting the optimal distance between the connected end faces, optimizing the welding mode, process parameters and welding wire position, and accurately controlling the heat input and temperature of the connection area, it is possible to avoid the formation of brittle structure, avoid the formation of brazing joints at the connection of the high melting point metal transition section C, thereby reducing the mechanical properties and sealing, avoid the low melting point base material B being welded through and the base material B being too diluted, thereby eliminating welding defects and brittle structure, ensuring welding quality and performance. On the one hand, the welding wire 2 is directed to the side of the metal transition section C, that is, the corresponding arc is directed to the side of the metal transition section C, so that the high melting point metal transition section C is slightly melted, and the metal transition section C is melted in the metal transition section. A micro-melting connection is achieved on the side of the transition section C to avoid the formation of a brazing connection. At the same time, it also avoids excessive melting of the metal transition section C, which makes the dilution rate of the metal transition section C high, causing the molten elements of the metal transition section C to diffuse too much into the molten pool, thereby mixing and contacting with the elements of the parent material B entering the molten pool to form a brittle structure. In addition, by controlling the distance between the connected end faces, the parent material B and the metal transition section C are isolated, and the contact and reaction of the partially melted elements of the metal transition section C with the partially melted elements of the parent material B to form a brittle structure. On the other hand, the welding wire 2 is directed to one side of the metal transition section C, that is, the arc center deviates from the parent material B, thereby reducing the heat input of the parent material B, reducing the heat absorbed by the parent material B, and reducing the temperature of the parent material B, avoiding excessive melting and causing welding through of the parent material B. At the same time, it also avoids an excessively large dilution rate of the parent material B, causing the molten elements of the parent material B to diffuse too much into the molten pool, thereby mixing and contacting with a small amount of elements of the metal transition section C entering the molten pool to form a brittle structure.

[0041] Preferably, the shapes of the base material A, base material B and metal transition section C include planar and three-dimensional types, so that the shape of the metal transition section C is determined according to the shapes of the connected base materials A and base materials B and the requirements of the connected components, thereby realizing the connection of ultra-thin plate dissimilar metals of any shape and preparing various complex ultra-thin plate dissimilar metal connection components.

[0042] Preferably, the base material A and the metal transition section C have good chemical compatibility, thereby avoiding the formation of brittle structures such as intermetallic compounds at the connection joint between the base material A and the metal transition section C, which may lead to poor weld performance or even cracking.

[0043] Preferably, the melting point of the metal transition section C is greater than the melting point of the base material B, and the melting point of the base material B is greater than the melting point of the welding wire 2, so that the metal transition section C melts slightly to avoid forming a brazing connection, and at the same time avoids excessive melting of the metal transition section C, so that the elements of the metal transition section C diffuse too much into the molten pool, mix and contact with the elements of the base material B entering the molten pool, and form a brittle structure. In addition, the base material B is melted appropriately to avoid welding through, and it is also avoided that the base material B melts too much, resulting in an excessive dilution rate, so that the elements of the base material B diffuse too much into the molten pool, mix and contact with a small amount of elements of the metal transition section C entering the molten pool, and form a brittle structure.

[0044] Preferably, the thickness of the base material A, base material B and metal transition section C in the dissimilar metals is 0.2-1.5 mm, thereby meeting the connection thickness requirement of ultra-thin plate dissimilar metals.

[0045] Preferably, the types of welding wires include solid welding wires and flux-cored welding wires, so that the composition and content design of welding wire 1 for connecting base material A and metal transition section C and welding wire 2 for connecting base material B and metal transition section C are easier and more efficient.

[0046] Preferably, the distance between the connected end face of the base material A and the connected end face of the metal transition section C is 0 to 2 mm. By adjusting and optimizing the distance between the connected end face of the base material A and the connected end face of the metal transition section C, it is convenient to regulate heat input and temperature, control weld formation, eliminate welding defects, and improve welding quality.

[0047] Preferably, the distance between the connected end face of the base material B and the connected end face of the metal transition section C is 0.1 to 2 mm. By adjusting and optimizing the distance between the connected end face of the base material B and the connected end face of the metal transition section C, the base material B and the metal transition section C can be isolated, so that the molten welding wire can be easily filled into the gap, and direct contact between the elements in the base material B and the metal transition section C can be avoided, that is, the brittle structure caused by poor chemical compatibility can be eliminated. At the same time, it is easy to regulate the heat input and temperature to obtain excellent weld formation, eliminate welding defects, avoid the formation of brazing connection, and improve welding quality and performance.

[0048] Preferably, the distance between the intersection of the axial extension line of the welding wire 2 and the surface of the metal transition section C and the point closest to the connected end face of the metal transition section C is 0.1 to 2 mm. On the one hand, due to the high melting point of the metal transition section C, a suitable distance between the intersection of the axial extension line of the welding wire 2 and the surface of the metal transition section C and the point closest to the connected end face of the metal transition section C is set, so that the welding wire 2 points to one side of the metal transition section C, and the arc center heats this part. Due to the high temperature of the arc center, the connected part of the metal transition section C can be prevented from not melting, and the metal transition section C can be melted slightly, thereby avoiding the formation of the metal transition section C not melting. Brazing connection. At the same time, due to the high melting point of the metal transition section C, the dilution rate of the metal transition section C is low, which avoids the molten elements of the metal transition section C from diffusing too much into the molten pool, and mixing and contacting with the elements of the base material B entering the molten pool to form a brittle structure. On the other hand, the arc center deviates from the base material B, which reduces the heat input and temperature of the base material B, making the dilution rate of the base material B lower, avoiding the molten elements of the base material B from diffusing too much into the molten pool, and thus mixing and contacting with a small amount of elements of the metal transition section C entering the molten pool to form a brittle structure, and also avoiding excessive melting of the base material B to cause welding penetration. In addition, the melting flow of the low-melting point welding wire 2 can ensure excellent weld formation.

[0049] Preferably, the gas shielded arc welding types include metal-metal gas shielded arc welding and non-metal-metal gas shielded arc welding, which facilitates the selection of a suitable gas shielded arc welding method according to the plate thickness and physical and chemical properties of the connected base materials A, base materials B and metal transition section C.

[0050] Preferably, the non-melting electrode gas shielded arc welding includes tungsten inert gas arc welding and plasma arc welding, which is convenient for selecting a suitable non-melting electrode gas shielded arc welding method according to the plate thickness and physical and chemical properties of the connected base materials A, base materials B and metal transition section C.

[0051] Preferably, the shielding gas of the gas supply system is at least one of Ar, He, CO2, O2, and N2. Different shielding gases are selected according to the types of base materials A, base materials B, and metal transition section C, connection costs, and efficiency, so that the connection is carried out under gas protection to ensure the internal quality of the weld and excellent weld formation. At the same time, the shielding gas serves as a medium for generating an arc, maintaining stable burning of the arc and ensuring a stable welding process.

[0052] Preferably, the welding mode of the consumable electrode gas shielded arc welding is a CMT mode, a pulse mode, a DC mode or an AC mode, and the welding mode of the non-consumable electrode gas shielded arc welding is a pulse mode, a DC mode or an AC mode, so as to select a suitable welding mode according to the composition, physical and chemical properties of the base material A, the base material B, the metal transition section C and the two welding wires, the thickness of the base material A, the base material B and the metal transition section C, and the diameters of the two welding wires, so as to accurately control the heat input and temperature of each connection area, avoid coarse grains in the heat-affected zone, avoid welding through due to excessive heat input, avoid the formation of brittle structure or even cracking in the weld zone due to a large dilution rate of the base material B and the metal transition section C, and avoid the formation of brazing due to insufficient heat input, so as to eliminate welding defects, improve weld formation, and improve welding quality and performance.

[0053] Preferably, the welding process parameters of the consumable electrode gas shielded arc welding are: an average welding current of 20 to 200A, an average arc voltage of 6 to 20V, a welding speed of 0.3 to 4m / min, a wire extension length of 6 to 20mm, a wire diameter of 0.6 to 1.6mm, and a gas flow rate of 5 to 30L / min. By adjusting the welding process parameters, the welding heat input and temperature are precisely controlled, and the melting amount of the welding wire and the base material is controlled to avoid coarse grains in the heat affected zone, avoid welding penetration caused by excessive heat input, avoid the formation of brittle structure or even cracking in the weld zone due to a large dilution rate of the base material B and the metal transition section C, and avoid problems such as brazing caused by the failure of the metal transition section C to melt due to insufficient heat input.
