Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of welding materials technology, specifically relating to a single-sided welding double-sided forming backing flux, its preparation process, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] High-efficiency welding technology remains an effective way to improve efficiency, reduce costs, and enhance quality and economic benefits in shipbuilding. In the fabrication of large planar sections, the most widely used method for flat plate welding is the FCB (Fluorescent Blanket) method with multi-wire single-sided welding and double-sided forming. This process solves the problem of difficult reverse-side welding of large flat plates, enabling assembly line operations, significantly shortening the modern shipbuilding cycle, and substantially improving efficiency. Although there is some domestic research on related materials, problems such as poor back-side forming stability, welding residue indentation, poor slag removal performance, and welding cracks still exist, hindering large-scale application. Summary of the Invention
[0003] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the problems of poor back-side forming stability, welding residue indentation, poor slag removal performance and welding cracks in the prior art.
[0004] Therefore, the present invention provides a single-sided welding double-sided forming backing flux, comprising the following raw material components by mass percentage: fused magnesia: 20-40%; quartz: 25-35%; zircon sand: 8-18%; fluorite: 5-15%; ferrosilicon: 3-10%; ferrotitanium: 3-10%; ferroboron: 1-2%; α-alumina: 1-5%; manganese oxide: 1-5%; strontium oxide: 0.5-1.5%; yttrium oxide: 0.5-1%; iron powder: 3-10%; phenolic resin: 2-10%.
[0005] Specifically, the aforementioned phenolic resin includes thermosetting phenolic resin and thermoplastic phenolic resin; the mass ratio of the thermosetting phenolic resin to the thermoplastic phenolic resin is 1:1 to 1:3.
[0006] Specifically, the particle size of the aforementioned backing flux is above 80 mesh.
[0007] Specifically, the alkalinity of the aforementioned backing flux is between 0.8 and 1.0.
[0008] Specifically, the S and P content in the above-mentioned backing flux is controlled below 0.025%.
[0009] The present invention also provides a preparation process for the above-mentioned single-sided welding double-sided forming backing flux, comprising the following steps:
[0010] (1) Prepare raw materials according to proportion, mix mineral raw materials except phenolic resin, add water glass to mineral raw materials, wet stir and then sieve, dry and then sieve again, and sinter to make basic flux.
[0011] (2) The base flux is heated in a rotary heating cylinder. Phenolic resin is blown into the rotary heating cylinder in the form of powder spraying until a resin film is evenly distributed on the surface of the base flux. Then, heating is stopped, the flux is cooled and sieved to obtain a single-sided welding double-sided forming pad flux.
[0012] Specifically, in step (1) above, the water glass includes lithium water glass and sodium water glass in a mass ratio of 1:3 to 3:4; the amount of water glass added is 12-20% based on the mass of mineral raw materials.
[0013] Specifically, in step (1) above, the basic flux is prepared by drying at 150-200℃ for 2 hours, sieving, and sintering at 850-900℃.
[0014] Specifically, in step (2) above, the blowing speed of the phenolic resin is 180-250 g / s.
[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:
[0016] The single-sided welding double-sided forming backing flux provided by this invention improves the melting point of the welding slag through a suitable ratio of MgO-CaO-Al2O3-SiO2-ZrO2 combination and the carbonization and cross-linking effect of resin, thereby increasing the arc penetration energy of the backing flux during high-heat welding. By controlling the appropriate loose packing density and particle size ratio, the uniformity and stability of the backing flux formation are improved. Even at an online energy of 200KJ / cm, it still has good slag shell formation, no molten iron leakage, uniform and consistent weld bead formation, and good stability. By adding SrO to form a thin film on the inner surface of the welding slag, due to the large difference in its coefficient of linear expansion with the base material, the welding slag can automatically fall off without residue, eliminating the need for manual cleaning and saving cleaning time and costs. By controlling the appropriate addition of trace elements such as Y, Ti, and B in the weld to improve the stability of acicular ferrite in the weld under ultra-high heat input conditions, the low-temperature impact toughness and crack resistance are improved, solving the problem of similar products having to lengthen the arc initiation and termination plates due to excessively long arc termination cracks.
[0017] When used with submerged arc welding wire, it can meet the requirements of single-wire, double-wire, or triple-wire high heat input single-sided welding with double-sided forming. It has a tensile strength of over 550MPa, a yield strength of over 420MPa, a yield strength of over 150J at -20℃, and over 90J at -40℃. Its comprehensive performance meets the welding requirements of classification societies for 2Y, 3Y, and 4Y grade steel plates. It can meet the welding requirements of 10-35mm large ship panel welds of DH36, EH36, DH40, and EH40, etc., suitable for high heat input high efficiency welding, producing uniform and stable weld formation, no porosity or indentation, automatic slag removal, and excellent crack resistance.
