Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of welding, and in particular to a keyhole filling method after friction stir welding of a tubular rotating target. Background Art

[0002] Friction stir welding (FSW) is a welding process that does not require the addition of any filler material. It uses friction heating to soften the materials being joined so that they fuse together without melting into a liquid state. The two workpieces are butted together, and then a hard rotating tool with a special tip profile (with a stirring pin and a shoulder) is pressed into the joint and moved along its length. The heat generated under the shoulder plasticizes the material without reaching the melting point. The material flows around the rotating stirring pin and consolidates into a uniform mass, forming a strong joint when it cools.

[0003] CN107433388A discloses a tool and method for repairing a keyhole after friction stir welding. A plug with the same diameter as the repair keyhole and a height greater than its depth is selected, and the plug is inserted into the keyhole. The shaft shoulder rotates at high speed and contacts and rubs with the plug and the repair keyhole. The high-speed rotating shaft shoulder presses the keyhole to be repaired and applies a certain upsetting force to the workpiece along the axis of the shaft shoulder. Under the combined action of friction heat and upsetting force, plastic flow occurs in a local area of ​​the keyhole, thereby achieving the effect of repairing the keyhole.

[0004] CN114309916A discloses an insert-type keyhole repair friction stir welding method, step one: processing a metal plate and a polymer plate into required specifications; step two: placing the metal plate and the polymer plate on a welding table with an overlapped joint, and clamping them with a clamp; step three: using a needle-type stirring head, welding the plates with a specified rotation speed, welding speed and first shoulder pressure; step four: after welding, placing a keyhole filler in the keyhole at the end of the weld; step five: using a needle-free stirring head, welding the weld with a specified rotation speed, welding speed and second shoulder pressure.

[0005] However, the above keyhole filling methods are all for planar materials. For tubular materials, new keyhole filling methods need to be developed. Summary of the invention

[0006] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of the present invention is to provide a keyhole filling method for a tubular rotating target after friction stir welding. By designing a filling plug with a specific structure and applying it to the tubular rotating target, it can make up for the existing problem that it is difficult to repair the tubular rotating target after friction stir welding.

[0007] To achieve this object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions:

[0008] The present invention provides a keyhole filling method after friction stir welding of a tubular rotating target, the keyhole filling method comprising the following steps: inserting a filling plug into the keyhole after friction stir welding of a tubular rotating target, the filling plug comprising a plug body and a plug cap, wherein the plug body is placed inside the keyhole, and then a needle-free stirring head is used to contact the plug cap and stir and press down to repair until the repair is completed; wherein the bottom surface of the plug body is a circular plane.

[0009] Those skilled in the art know that friction stir welding is a conventional welding method. After welding, the presence of the stirring needle will cause the stirring needle to leave a keyhole on the surface of the tubular rotating target. The presence of this keyhole will affect the overall welding performance, so the keyhole needs to be repaired. However, the current technology is basically for repairing keyholes in flat plates. Researchers have found that conventional technology for repairing keyholes in planes is difficult to adapt to tubular targets.

[0010] Based on this, the present invention adds a plug cap on the basis of a conventional plug head, that is, a plug cap design is added to the upper part of the plug body, and the plug cap is located outside the keyhole during repair. The present invention has found that the design of the plug cap can better fill the keyhole during the repair process, and the material of the plug cap part can also enter the keyhole for repair during the repair process, and the influence on the tubular target material during the repair process can be avoided.

[0011] Furthermore, the present invention supplements the design of the bottom surface of the plug body into a circular plane, which can better fill the blank portion of the keyhole in the tubular target material, thereby obtaining a better repair effect.

[0012] Preferably, the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the lower surface of the plug cap is larger than the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the upper surface of the plug body.

[0013] Preferably, the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the lower surface of the plug cap is 2-5 mm larger than the diameter of the circumscribed circle of the upper surface of the plug body, for example, it can be 2 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.7 mm, 3 mm, 3.4 mm, 3.7 mm, 4 mm, 4.4 mm, 4.7 mm or 5 mm.

[0014] The present invention preferably has a diameter ratio within the above range, which can avoid a negative impact on the surface of the tubular target when the plug cap is too large, and can also avoid poor keyhole repair performance.

[0015] Preferably, the ratio of the height of the plug cap to the diameter of the tubular rotary target is (0.05-0.1):10, for example, it can be 0.05:10, 0.06:10, 0.07:10, 0.08:10, 0.09:10 or 0.1:10.

[0016] According to the above principle, the material of the plug cap will also enter the keyhole after repair, so the height of the plug cap is also critical to the repair result. Through research, it is found that controlling the height of the plug cap within the above range has an excellent repair effect.

[0017] Preferably, the height of the plug cap is 2-5 mm, for example, it can be 2 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.7 mm, 3 mm, 3.4 mm, 3.7 mm, 4 mm, 4.4 mm, 4.7 mm or 5 mm.

[0018] Preferably, the bottom surface of the plug cap and the upper surface of the plug body are independently flat surfaces.

[0019] Preferably, the plug body has an inverted T-shaped structure, and the inner top angle of the bottom surface of the inverted T-shaped structure is 100-135°, for example, it can be 100°, 104°, 108°, 112°, 116°, 120°, 124°, 128°, 132° or 135°.

[0020] Preferably, the assembly clearance between the plug body and the keyhole is less than 0.1 mm.

[0021] Preferably, the stirring and pressing comprises: firstly performing a first stirring and simultaneously performing a first pressing until the shaft shoulder contacts the surface of the tubular rotating target, then continuing a second stirring and simultaneously performing a second pressing, and finally stopping pressing and only performing a third stirring.

[0022] Preferably, the first stirring rotation speed is 1200-1500r / min, for example, it can be 1200r / min, 1235r / min, 1267r / min, 1300r / min, 1335r / min, 1365r / min, 1400r / min, 1435r / min, 1467r / min or 1500r / min, etc.

[0023] Preferably, the rotation speed of the second stirring is 1100-1400 r / min, for example, it can be 1100 r / min, 1135 r / min, 1165 r / min, 1200 r / min, 1235 r / min, 1265 r / min, 1300 r / min, 1335 r / min, 1365 r / min or 1400 r / min.

[0024] Preferably, the rotation speed of the second stirring is lower than the rotation speed of the first stirring.

[0025] Preferably, the second stirring speed is 50-150r / min lower than the first stirring speed, for example, it can be 50r / min, 62r / min, 73r / min, 84r / min, 95r / min, 106r / min, 117r / min, 128r / min, 139r / min or 150r / min, etc.

[0026] Preferably, the second pressing amount is 1-2 mm, for example, 1 mm, 1.2 mm, 1.3 mm, 1.4 mm, 1.5 mm, 1.6 mm, 1.7 mm, 1.8 mm, 1.9 mm or 2 mm.

[0027] Preferably, the second pressing speed is 0.1-0.2 mm / min, for example, it can be 0.1 mm / min, 0.12 mm / min, 0.13 mm / min, 0.14 mm / min, 0.15 mm / min, 0.16 mm / min, 0.17 mm / min, 0.18 mm / min, 0.19 mm / min or 0.2 mm / min.

[0028] Preferably, the third stirring speed is 200-250r / min lower than the second stirring speed, for example, it can be 200r / min, 205r / min, 210r / min, 215r / min, 220r / min, 225r / min, 235r / min, 239r / min, 245r / min or 250r / min.

[0031] The present invention preferably adopts the above-mentioned repair parameters, wherein the rotation speed of the first stirring is relatively large, at which time the shaft shoulder is not in contact with the surface of the tubular target material. The use of a relatively large rotation speed can better process the filling plug and improve the processing efficiency; the rotation speed of the second stirring is relatively small, at which time the shaft shoulder has begun to contact the surface of the tubular target material, and it is necessary to further avoid negative impact on the surface of the tubular target material. However, after the downward pressure is controlled, it is necessary to continue to maintain the speed of the third stirring for a period of time. During this period of time, the stirring speed needs to be the minimum, which plays a role in optimizing the surface organization structure. In order to avoid negative impact on the surface of the tubular target material, it is not appropriate to use a relatively large rotation speed.

[0032] Preferably, the material of the filling plug is the same as that of the tubular rotary target.

[0033] The present invention has no special restrictions on the material and diameter of the tubular rotating target in the above process.
