Description

[0002] Shipbuilding needs to use a large number of steel pipes, especially stainless steel pipes, which need to be prefabricated and welded. The thermal conductivity of stainless steel pipe is low, the heat dissipation is slow, the local temperature rises fast, and the linear expansion coefficient is large, so it is easy to produce welding deformation during welding and cooling. In order to avoid welding deformation, two welders are usually used to weld symmetrically, so that the bending deformation of the stainless steel pipe during welding can be offset. The welding speed difference between the two welders will also cause the stainless steel pipe to produce welding deformation, so the two welders need to keep the same welding speed.
