Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of welding, in particular to an inner hole submerged arc welding horizontal welding device and a welding method for a butt weld of a large-diameter pipe. Background Art

[0002] Generally, large-diameter butt welding adopts an external bevel form. However, for some special products, there are obstacles on the outer wall of the large-diameter butt weld, and welding cannot be performed from the outer wall of the pipe. In addition, welding inside the pipe has problems such as small welding space, high welding difficulty, and poor welding quality. Therefore, welding inside large-diameter pipes has become a shackle that restricts the development of the industry. In actual production, manual welding is usually used for welding the inner wall of large-diameter pipes. However, for some welds with smaller diameters, deeper welds, and higher preheating temperatures, manual welding is used because of the harsh working environment inside the pipe and limited welding space, resulting in a greater impact on the quality of manual welding due to human factors. Take the feed water inlet / outlet header and the extending pipe of the serpentine tube high-pressure heater as an example. Figure 1 As shown. Currently, manual welding is mainly used in the industry for this structure. Manual welding first uses argon arc welding to seal the bottom, single-sided welding to form the double sides, and arc welding to fill the cover. During the production process, the welder has a small operating space and obstructed vision. The welder needs to enter the workpiece to see the weld clearly. In addition, the material needs to be preheated to ≥150℃ before welding, and the interlayer temperature is 150-300℃, which leads to a harsh welding working environment, difficult welding operations, prone to welding defects, difficult rework, and low production efficiency.

[0003] Mechanical welding is mainly based on hot wire TIG welding, but this method has problems such as low welding efficiency, high equipment cost, and high assembly precision requirements. Based on the above, how to design a device and process method with low equipment cost, high welding efficiency and good welding quality has become the research goal of relevant enterprises.

When the flux in the flux prevention net reaches a certain amount, the internal flux and slag shell are sucked out by an external flux recovery device, and the flux recovery device needs to be equipped separately.

[0046] It also includes a welding power source 19 and a controller 20, the welding power source 19 and the controller 20 are connected, and the controller 20 is connected to the adjustable support device 1, the servo motor 6 and the welding device through the equipment cable 8.

[0047] A welding method using the above-mentioned inner hole submerged arc welding horizontal welding equipment for large-diameter pipe butt welds comprises the following steps:

[0048] S1. The pipe 26 to be welded is butt-jointed and assembled. The weld groove at the butt joint adopts an asymmetric groove. The up-groove angle α, the down-groove angle β, the up-groove root arc radius R1, and the down-groove root arc radius R2 are adjusted according to actual production. The specific parameters are shown in Table 1:

[0049] Table 1 Groove parameters

[0050]

[0051] The groove form can not only facilitate the observation of the weld, but also well support the flux, ensure the quality of horizontal welding, and greatly improve the welding qualification rate. In addition, the groove transition is smooth, the large angle is not easy to produce slag inclusion, the slag removal effect is good, and it is easier to achieve automatic welding;

[0052] Manual tungsten inert gas welding (M-GTAW) is used to weld the bottom of the joint, single-sided welding and double-sided forming are performed to ensure root penetration and complete the first layer of welding; preheating before welding is ≥100℃, the shielding gas used by the welding gun is single Ar, the purity of argon is ≥99.99%, and the shielding gas flow rate is 8-20L / min; the specific welding process parameters are shown in Table 2;

[0053] Then use submerged arc welding (SAW) or metal arc welding (SMAW) to weld two or more layers. When using submerged arc welding (SAW), fill welding is performed through fast and low current to prevent welding penetration caused by large heat input of submerged arc welding. Before welding, the weld temperature must be ≥150℃, and the weld interlayer temperature must be controlled below 300℃ to complete the second and third layer welding. The inner hole submerged arc welding wire can be φ1.2mm-2.5mm, and 1.6mm is preferred. The specific welding process parameters are shown in Table 2.

[0054] S2. Place the inner hole submerged arc welding horizontal welding equipment into the pipe to be welded 26, position it through the horizontal positioning device 22, fix the inner hole submerged arc welding horizontal welding equipment in the pipe to be welded 26 through the adjustable support device 1, and install the flux prevention net at the lower end of the inner hole submerged arc welding horizontal welding equipment; after the equipment is fixed, retract the claw 27, weld the flux retaining ring 30 on the lower bevel side of the weld to ensure that the flux retaining ring 30 is at the same horizontal height; after the equipment is installed, adjust the position of the bending welding gun 12, rotate the bending welding gun 12 under the simulated welding state, observe the position change of the welding gun head, determine the ovality of the pipe to be welded 2, and determine whether to teach the inner hole submerged arc welding horizontal welding equipment to a fixed point according to the ovality of the pipe to be welded 26. When the pipe ovality is ≤2%, no fixed point teaching is required, and welding can be carried out directly. When the pipe ovality is greater than 2%, the teaching point parameters can be set on the controller according to the actual production needs, so that the welding gun moves according to the set path, and fine-tuning can be performed through the remote control device during the movement;

[0055] After the ovality of the pipe is determined, align the bending welding gun 12 at the set position to ensure that the dry extension of the welding wire is 20-30mm. The welding direction can be selected clockwise or counterclockwise. After the arc is started, the flux at the position after welding can be pushed away to clear the coating, and the weld position and forming quality can be observed. The position and parameters can be adjusted during the welding process. After welding a circle, the above operation can be repeated, and automatic lane change can also be used to set the lane change parameters. When the flux at the groove is insufficient, the flux bucket above the equipment is used to transport and replenish the flux. When cleaning the flux at the groove, the flux recovery device can be used to recover the flux, and the flux can be reused after filtering and drying.

[0056] S3. Set welding parameters. Start filling the weld from the fourth layer using the inner hole submerged arc welding horizontal welding equipment. The filling layer is multi-layer and multi-pass welding. The welding direction is from the lower side of the groove to the upper side layer by layer. The welding sequence is as follows: Fig. 9 As shown in the figure, when the equipment rotates, the flux is easily pushed away, exposing the molten pool to the air, which is prone to quality problems. Therefore, the welding flux should preferably be a special flux for horizontal welding, which can better protect the molten pool and ensure the welding quality. When ordinary flux is used, the height of the flux pile at each position must be 10mm-25mm.

[0057] When welding the fourth and fifth layers, the welding current of the weld bead gradually decreases from the lower side of the groove to the upper side of the groove, and the welding speed of the weld bead gradually increases from the lower side of the groove to the upper side of the groove, that is, a larger welding current is selected on the lower side of the groove, and the welding speed should be slower than that on the upper side of the groove when welding the same layer; its purpose is to increase the thickness of the lower deposited metal, better support the molten metal of the next layer, and welding defects are not easy to occur under large parameters, which can not only ensure the welding quality, but also increase the amount of deposited metal per unit time and shorten the welding cycle; generally, manual lane change welding is used for the fourth to fifth layers. After arc starting, the flux at the rear position of the weld is pushed away, the coating is cleared, the weld position and forming quality are observed, and the front end welding quality is ensured; as the welding current gradually decreases from bottom to top, the amount of deposited metal per unit time decreases, and a step-type structure is formed at the weld. When the current decreases less, a step with a smaller slope will be formed, such as Fig.10 As shown in Figure 2, when the current decreases significantly, another step with a larger slope will be formed, such as Fig.11 As shown, Fig. 9 and Fig.10 1 to 5 are the layer-by-layer welding sequence, ①-③ are the pass-by-pass welding sequence;

[0058] When the pipe thickness is ≤60mm, the groove height is relatively low. The use of small slope steps can ensure that the upper layer of deposited metal will not flow down during welding, and quality problems are not likely to occur. In addition, the current reduction is small, the welding parameters are large, quality problems are not likely to occur, and the welding cycle is short. When the pipe thickness is greater than 60mm, the groove height is relatively high. In the later stage of welding the filling layer, due to the large groove gap and high weld temperature, the upper layer of deposited metal is likely to flow downward, causing quality problems. Therefore, the use of large slope steps can ensure welding quality;

[0059] After the sixth welding layer, the welding parameters remain unchanged, and the lane changing mode can be changed from manual lane changing to automatic lane changing. The lane changing parameters are set to Δx = 2-4mm, Δy = 2-4mm; for large slope steps, when the lower layer is welded to the edge of the groove, the welding is carried out layer by layer, such as Fig.12 When welding to a certain layer, the height of the flux retaining ring is not enough to support the welding. The flux retaining ring can be replaced to ensure that the flux can cover the molten pool and ensure the welding quality. When welding the surface layer, ensure the height of the flux and select the appropriate welding parameters according to the actual workpiece temperature.

[0060] Table 5 Welding process parameters

[0061]

[0062] In Table 2, the 2* and 3* welding layers are arc welding.

[0063] The flux retaining ring 30 includes retaining ring 1 31 and retaining ring 2 32. One end of retaining ring 1 31 is connected to the lower bevel side of the weld, and the other end is connected to retaining ring 2 32 by bolts; retaining ring 2 32 is vertically arranged on retaining ring 1 31; retaining ring 1 31 and retaining ring 2 32 are both composed of two semicircular rings or one full-circular ring. The width of retaining ring 1 31 is 10mm-100mm, and the height of retaining ring 2 32 is 40-70mm. It is replaced and adjusted according to the actual welding position. Retaining ring 2 32 is replaced once when the weld is welded to the 3 / 4 position. The flux retaining ring 30 is to better support the flux, ensure that the flux can cover the molten pool during welding, and ensure the welding quality.

[0064] The inner hole submerged arc welding horizontal welding equipment is suitable for welding materials such as carbon steel, alloy steel, stainless steel, aluminum alloy, copper alloy and the like.

[0065] To summarize the above implementation cases, the inner hole submerged arc welding horizontal welding equipment for large-diameter pipe butt welds described in the present invention is positioned and fixed by a horizontal positioning device 22 and an adjustable supporting device 1, and the level 28 is used to ensure that the rotation center of the equipment is concentric with the center of the pipe, and to ensure that the distance between the gun head and the pipe wall remains unchanged when the bent welding gun 12 rotates; the inner hole submerged arc welding horizontal welding equipment and welding method for large-diameter pipe butt welds described in the present invention, through the horizontal slide 9 and the vertical slide 10, the bent welding gun 12 can adjust the position according to the welding situation during welding, realize the lane changing function, and improve the welding efficiency; at the same time, the flux is transported to the welding position through the wire feeder 17, the flux hopper 15, the wire reel 16 and the flux delivery pipe 18 to ensure stable welding; the welding process is observed in real time by the camera 13 and displayed on the display screen 14 to ensure the welding quality.
