Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of well workover tool manufacturing in the oil and gas industry, and specifically relates to a process method for laying hard alloy welding rods on the surface of well workover tools. Background Technology
[0002] With the continuous development of technology, automation technology is being applied more and more widely in well workover operations. Well workover is a dangerous job due to the complex and variable downhole environment, and researchers need to pay attention to the safety performance of milling nib tips to prevent accidents. The choice of material for milling nib tips is crucial to the efficiency and durability of well workover operations. Currently, researchers are exploring new wear-resistant materials to improve the service life and performance of milling nib tips. Well workover operations typically involve cutting and grinding on high-strength rocks or downhole equipment surfaces, making the wear resistance of milling nib tips a critical issue. Insufficient wear resistance of the nib tip leads to frequent replacements, increasing well workover costs.
[0003] Furthermore, the milling function of a milling pen tip for grinding damaged tubing relies primarily on the hard alloy particles welded to its surface. Generally, milling pen tips are made with an alloy steel base, and then a layer of hard alloy particles is embedded or welded onto the milling location of the pen tip. Because hard alloy particles are hard and brittle, have weak impact resistance, and their properties differ significantly from the steel base, accidents such as particle detachment and breakage at the welded location of the milling pen tip are prone to occur during milling operations, severely affecting the service life and repair effectiveness of the milling pen tip. Summary of the Invention
[0004] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this invention provides a process for oxy-acetylene flame welding of hard alloy onto the surface of a well-working milling tip tool, thereby improving the bonding strength between the hard alloy and the steel substrate and reducing the occurrence of hard alloy weld layer detachment and milling tip breakage accidents.
[0005] This invention is achieved through the following technical solution:

[0009] S3, after preheating the hard alloy position on the surface of the milling pen tip tool by using an oxy-acetylene flame, a copper alloy layer is then welded as a transition layer.
[0010] S4, weld a hard alloy brazing layer at the location where a hard alloy brazing layer is welded on the surface of the milling tool containing the transition layer, and complete the filling of the groove on the surface of the milling tool;
[0011] S5 involves inspecting and stress-relieving the milling pen tip tool after it has been completed with hard alloy welding, then applying anti-rust paint to the surface and marking it, thus completing the product processing of the milling pen tip tool.
[0012] Preferably, the distance between the hard alloy plating location and the tip of the milling pen is greater than 200mm; the distance between the hard alloy plating location and the disappearing thread portion of the milling pen tip connection is greater than 40mm.
[0013] Preferably, the groove has a depth of 1mm-3mm, and the groove transitions to the outer surface contour of the milled pen tip at an angle of 120°-160°.
[0014] Preferably, the preheating temperature is 200-400℃.
[0015] Preferably, the oxygen pressure in the oxygen-acetylene flame is 0.20 MPa-0.35 MPa; the acetylene pressure is 0.05-0.1 MPa, and the flow ratio of oxygen to acetylene is adjusted to 1.22-1.30:1.
[0016] Preferably, the thickness of the copper alloy layer is 0.2-1.0 mm.
[0017] Preferably, the copper alloy layer is made of copper-zinc welding wire with a diameter of 1.2mm-2mm.
[0018] Preferably, in step S4, the number of hard alloy solder layers is determined based on the target thickness of the solder layer for the milling pen tip tool.
[0019] If the target thickness of the cemented carbide weld layer is 7-12mm, then an oxy-acetylene flame is used to melt cemented carbide particles with a size of 1mm-3mm and weld the first cemented carbide layer to the cemented carbide location on the surface of the milling tool. The thickness of the first cemented carbide layer is 2mm-5mm, which completes the filling of the groove on the surface of the milling tool. Then, an oxy-acetylene flame is used to melt cemented carbide particles with a size of 3mm-5mm and weld a second cemented carbide layer on the first cemented carbide layer. The thickness of the second cemented carbide layer is 4mm-7mm, so that the total thickness of the cemented carbide weld layer meets the target layer requirement. During the welding process, the heating temperature of the milling tool tip substrate must not exceed 700℃.
[0020] If the target thickness of the hard alloy weld layer is 4-7mm, then use an oxy-acetylene flame to melt a welding rod with hard alloy particles of 1mm-3mm size and weld the first hard alloy layer at the hard alloy position on the surface of the milling tool. The thickness of the first hard alloy layer is 2mm-5mm, which completes the filling of the groove on the surface of the milling tool. During the welding process, the heating temperature of the milling tool substrate must not exceed 700℃.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects:
[0025] This invention provides a process for welding hard alloy onto the surface of a workover nib tip. To improve the bonding performance between the hard alloy particles and the steel substrate, and to extend the service life of the hard alloy layer, a groove is machined along the contour of the workover nib tip tool surface within the area where the hard alloy is to be welded. Then, after preheating the hard alloy area on the workover nib tool surface using an oxy-acetylene flame, a copper alloy layer is welded as a transition layer. A hard alloy weld layer is then welded onto the workover nib tool surface containing the transition layer at the hard alloy area. This improves the bonding strength between the hard alloy and the steel substrate, reduces the occurrence of hard alloy weld layer detachment and workover nib tip breakage, thereby extending the service life of the workover nib tool. This invention optimizes the structural design and process of the hard alloy particles used for welding the workover nib tip, enhances the bonding strength between the hard alloy layer and the workover nib tip substrate, reduces residual stress at the hard alloy weld area, avoids the formation of cracks at the weld area, reduces the occurrence of hard alloy block detachment and workover nib tip breakage, and ultimately extends the service life of the workover nib tip.
[0026] Furthermore, the process method of the present invention determines the number of hard alloy solder layers based on the target thickness of the solder layer of the milling pen tip tool. If the target thickness of the solder layer is 7-12mm, two layers are used for soldering. If the target thickness of the solder layer is 4-7mm, one layer is used for soldering, so that the total thickness of the hard alloy solder layer meets the target layer requirements.
[0027] Furthermore, the distance between the welding range and the tip of the milling pen should be greater than 200mm, and the distance between the welding range and the point where the connecting thread of the milling pen tip disappears should be greater than 40mm, so as to reduce the impact of the heat input of the welded hard alloy on the substrate at both ends of the milling pen tip.

[0110] (4) It should be further explained that the oxygen pressure is 0.35 MPa and the acetylene pressure is 0.1 MPa. The flow ratio of oxygen and acetylene is adjusted to about 1.30:1 to control the flame for preheating and copper wire transition layer welding.
[0111] (5) Based on the target thickness of the solder layer for the milling tip tool, it is determined that two solder layers should be used for soldering;
[0112] (6) Adjust the flow ratio of oxygen and acetylene to about 1.16:1, control the flame for welding, select a welding rod with a hard alloy particle size of 3mm, use the flame to melt the welding rod metal about 8mm away from the flame core and evenly lay the first hard alloy layer, the thickness of the laying layer is 4mm, and complete the filling of the machined groove on the surface of the milling tool. During the laying process, the heating temperature of the milling pen tip substrate must not exceed 700℃.
[0113] (7) Use a flame about 8mm from the flame core to melt the 4mm hard alloy particles in the weld layer, and uniformly lay the second hard alloy layer. The thickness of the 4mm hard alloy weld layer is 7mm, so that the total thickness of the hard alloy weld layer meets the target layer requirements.
[0114] (8) For the grinding pen tip that has completed hard alloy brazing, the outer diameter of the hard alloy brazing layer of the grinding pen tip is controlled and processed by means of the inner hole of the detection tool. The inner diameter of the detection tool is used as the reference for the control value of the outer diameter of the grinding pen tip tool, with a lower deviation of 0mm and an upper deviation of 1.5mm.
[0115] (9) The substrate at the bottom of the hard alloy weld layer of the milled pen tip was subjected to non-destructive testing using ultrasonic testing. The reference sample for testing was a 3mm groove, and no cracks extending to the substrate of the milled pen tip were allowed.

[0117] (11) Apply anti-rust paint to the surface, mark it, and complete the milling and grinding of the pen tip product;
[0118] The inner hole of the inspection tool can ensure that the outer diameter of the weld layer meets the requirements, thereby guaranteeing the quality and performance of the milling pen tip.
[0119] The following are the steps to perform this detection method:
[0120] 1. Prepare the testing tools: First, you need to prepare a suitable testing tool. This tool is usually an internal bore gauge or caliper with precise measuring scale. Ensure the accuracy and stability of the tool to guarantee the accuracy of the measurement results.
[0121] 2. Insert the milling tip into the inner hole of the testing tool: Place the milling tip to be tested into the inner hole of the testing tool. Ensure that the tip is in full contact with the tool's inner hole and that there is no looseness or rotation.
[0122] 3. Perform measurement: Use a suitable handheld measuring tool (such as a vernier caliper) or digital measuring instrument to measure the outer diameter of the weld layer on the milling tip. In the method of internal hole inspection, the outer diameter of the weld layer can be indirectly obtained by measuring the diameter of the internal hole.
[0123] 4. Check the measurement results: Compare the measurement results with the design requirements or specifications. If the outer diameter of the weld layer is within the allowable range, the milled pen tip is considered to have passed the inspection and can continue with subsequent processes; if it exceeds the specified allowable range, appropriate handling measures are required.
[0124] 5. Handling Non-conforming Products: If the outer diameter of the weld layer on the milled pen tip is found to be non-compliant, measures should be taken promptly to address the issue. Possible solutions include re-welding, re-grinding, or discarding the non-conforming product to ensure product quality.
[0125] 6. Record test results: Accurate records must be kept for the test results of each milling pen tip. These records will help track product quality and conduct quality control analysis.
[0126] Using internal bore inspection to control the outer diameter of the weld layer in milled pen tips is a commonly used non-destructive testing method. This allows for real-time monitoring of product quality during production, enabling timely detection and resolution of problems. Ensuring that the outer diameter of the weld layer in milled pen tips meets requirements helps improve product quality and lifespan.
