Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of metal layered composite material preparation technology, and particularly relates to a method for preparing steel-aluminum pipe joints by combining interface coating and differential temperature hot pressing. Background Technology
[0002] With the widespread use of steel and aluminum pipelines in the manufacturing of modern liquefied natural gas (LNG) carriers and liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) carriers, effective connections between these two types of pipelines have become a key research focus. Due to significant differences in the thermodynamic and mechanical properties of steel and aluminum, traditional flange connections are prone to electrochemical corrosion and failure, while welded connections are susceptible to low bond strength and poor airtightness. To achieve an effective connection between steel and aluminum pipelines, a steel-aluminum transition joint has been proposed based on the principle of connecting steel and aluminum alloy structures using a steel-aluminum transition joint. This joint connects the aluminum pipe to the aluminum side of the joint and the steel pipe to the steel side of the joint, thus achieving an effective connection between the steel and aluminum pipelines and yielding good economic results.
[0003] However, the steel-aluminum transition pipe joints currently used in the market are mainly made by cutting thick-gauge steel / aluminum layered composite plates. This process utilizes explosive bonding to prepare the steel / aluminum layered composite plate of the required thickness, and then mechanically processes it to produce steel-aluminum transition pipe joints of different specifications. While this production process can produce steel-aluminum transition pipe joints that meet the requirements, it is complex, has a low yield, and is costly. Some scholars have proposed using casting to produce steel-aluminum transition pipe joints; however, due to the significant differences in properties between steel and aluminum, the performance indicators of the resulting steel-aluminum transition pipe joints are relatively low. Therefore, there is an urgent need for a simple, high-yield, and low-cost method for manufacturing high-quality steel-aluminum transition pipe joints to meet market demand. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention proposes a method for preparing steel-aluminum pipe joints by combining interface coating and differential temperature hot pressing.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution:
[0006] A method for preparing steel-aluminum pipe joints by combining interface coating and differential temperature hot pressing includes the following steps: seamless steel pipe and seamless aluminum pipe are respectively immersed in molten aluminum liquid, and the resulting seamless steel pipe with aluminum coating and seamless aluminum pipe with aluminum coating are heated and then assembled under pressure, heat treated, cooled and machined to obtain the finished steel-aluminum pipe joint.
[0007] Furthermore, the seamless steel pipes and seamless aluminum pipes need to be cleaned of oil, rust, and oxide film, and roughened before use;
[0008] The seamless steel pipe is made of any one of the following: steel for shipbuilding and marine engineering, ordinary steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, with a wall thickness ≥3mm and in the O temper.
[0009] The seamless aluminum tube is made of any one of industrial pure aluminum, 3-series aluminum alloy, 5-series aluminum alloy, and 6-series aluminum alloy, with a wall thickness ≥3mm; in the O state.
[0010] The molten aluminum liquid is pure aluminum liquid or a mixture; the mixture is a mixture of molten aluminum and molten silicon with a volume ratio of 9:1.
[0011] Furthermore, before the seamless steel pipe is immersed in molten aluminum, a flux is coated on its surface; the flux is a chloride or a fluoride.
[0012] Furthermore, the specific steps for immersing the seamless steel pipe in molten aluminum are as follows: the seamless steel pipe to be composited is completely immersed in molten aluminum at 680-720℃ for 30-120 seconds, with an immersion depth not exceeding 5mm, and then subjected to micro-pressure treatment on a press at a pressure of 10-30MPa.
[0013] Furthermore, the specific steps for immersing the seamless aluminum tube in molten aluminum are as follows: the seamless aluminum tube to be composited is completely immersed in molten aluminum at 680-720℃ for 20-60 seconds, the immersion depth does not exceed 5mm, and micro-pressure treatment is performed on a press at a pressure of 10-15MPa.
[0014] Furthermore, the heating conditions for the seamless steel pipe with aluminum coating are: temperature 500-630℃, holding time 1 hour.
[0015] Furthermore, the heating conditions for the seamless aluminum tube with aluminum coating are: temperature 300-450℃, holding time 1 hour.
[0016] Furthermore, during the pressure assembly process, the pressure value is 40-60 MPa, maintained for 10-30 minutes. During the hot-pressing composite process, the seamless aluminum tube is placed on top of the seamless steel tube to prevent excessive deformation of the aluminum tube.
[0017] Furthermore, the heat treatment refers to holding the assembled crude product at 350-450℃ for 60-120 minutes.
[0018] The present invention also provides a steel-aluminum pipe joint prepared using the method described above.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and technical effects:
[0020] This invention transforms the steel-aluminum interface composite into an aluminum-aluminum interface bond by utilizing a pre-fabricated aluminum layer, reducing the reduction required for interface bonding and improving the strength and reliability of the interface bond. Differential heating of the seamless steel pipe and seamless aluminum pipe increases their plasticity, reduces deformation resistance, and ensures connection strength. Furthermore, the steel-aluminum interface bond strength and airtightness are further enhanced by spraying a flux and hot-pressing after hot-dip galvanizing. Utilizing the oxidation resistance of the aluminum plating layer, seamless steel pipes and seamless aluminum pipes with aluminum plating can be heated without oxygen protection measures, and the micro-oxide layer is broken down into a reinforcing phase during the hot-pressing process, further improving the interface bond strength and airtightness.
[0021] This invention uses existing, mature seamless steel pipes and seamless aluminum pipes as base materials to achieve the connection between seamless steel pipes and seamless aluminum pipes, which greatly improves the material yield, reduces production costs, enhances the interface bonding strength and sealing performance, and is conducive to large-scale industrial production.

[0065] Performance testing:
[0066] Based on the airtightness and pressure resistance tests of the steel-aluminum transition joints, the performance of the steel-aluminum pipe joints prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 of this invention was tested. The specific methods are as follows:
[0067] Pressure resistance test: Soap water was applied to the joint surfaces of the steel-aluminum pipe joints prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 of this invention. One end of the steel-aluminum pipe joint was sealed, and the other end was filled with air and continuously pressurized. The gas pressure inside the pipe joint was recorded when soap bubbles were generated at the joint surfaces of the four types of pipe joints.
[0068] Nitrogen Leakage Test: One end of the steel-aluminum pipe joints prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 of this invention was sealed, and the other end was filled with nitrogen gas and continuously pressurized to the rated working pressure of 35 MPa and maintained. Subsequently, a leak detector was used to detect the nitrogen leakage rate at five points at the joint surface of the four types of steel-aluminum pipe joints, and the average value was taken as the gas leakage rate of the steel-aluminum pipe joint.
[0069] result:
[0070] Pressure resistance test: The steel-aluminum pipe joints prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 of this invention produced soap bubbles at the joint surface under pressures of 35MPa, 37MPa, 34MPa and 25MPa, respectively.

[0071] Nitrogen leakage test: The nitrogen leakage rate of the steel-aluminum pipe joints prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 was measured to be 9.3 × 10⁻⁶ under a working pressure of 25 MPa. -8 atm-cc / sec, 9.7×10 -8 atm-cc / sec, 9×10 -8 atm-cc / sec and 2.3×10 -4 atm-cc / sec indicates that, in Comparative Example 1, the airtightness of the steel-aluminum pipe joint obtained by heating at the same temperature is lower than that obtained by heating at different temperatures.
