The conventional process method is to use argon arc welding for backing and CO2 gas shielded welding for filling and covering. Although the root welding quality is easy to guarantee, the welding efficiency is too low, the operation skill of welder is required to be high, and the cost of argon and welding material is also high. Under the background of the development of the shipbuilding industry, a welding method with high welding efficiency and strong process applicability needs to be developed to further liberate labor and productivity and improve production efficiency.
[0003] Metal powder type flux cored wire has been widely used due to its excellent welding process performance, comprehensive mechanical properties and high welding efficiency. Today, the product structure of shipbuilding enterprises is fully transformed, and the technical quality requirements of high value-added engineering projects are increasing, which prompts us to continuously develop and find new welding materials that match them.

[0033] (III) ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS
[0034] Compared with the prior art, the present application provides a carbon steel pipe butt metal cored wire gas shielded welding process method, which has the following advantageous effects:
[0035] 1. The carbon steel pipe butt metal cored wire gas shielded welding process method has a higher current density than solid core welding wire due to manufacturing and chemical composition effects, and also has a higher deposition rate under the same current conditions. Among all welding materials, cored wire and metal cored wire have the highest deposition rate. The deposition rate of 1.2 mm cored wire and metal cored wire can reach 5.4-6.4 kg / h, and the deposition rate of solid core gas shielded welding wire of the same diameter is 3.6-4.5 kg / h. According to experience, when the deposition rate of metal cored wire reaches 4.1 kg / h or higher, it is more cost-effective than solid core welding wire. Metal cored wire has similar low slag and less spatter characteristics as solid core welding wire. Like solid core welding wire, metal cored wire also has almost no slag forming components when welding wire is filled, and only a small amount of silicide is present on the surface of the weld, which makes it unnecessary to clean the slag for multi-layer and multi-pass welding. Metal cored wire has arc stabilizers that improve arc stability and reduce spatter.
[0036] 2. The carbon steel pipe butt metal cored wire gas shielded welding process method has the characteristic that the slag of cored wire covers the surface of the deposited metal, and its deposition efficiency is generally 84%-89%, while the deposition efficiency of solid core welding wire is generally 95%-98%. Under the conditions of spray transfer and high argon mixed gas protection, the deposition efficiency of metal cored wire is generally within the range of 92%-98%. Changes in transfer form and protective gas will affect the deposition efficiency. If metal cored wire uses short circuit transfer and high content CO2 protective gas, the spatter amount will increase (especially large particle spatter), resulting in a decrease in deposition efficiency. Spray transfer is the best transfer form to improve wetting and reduce spatter. To obtain spray transfer, high argon mixed gas is needed as protective gas. In order to obtain all the potential advantages of metal cored wire, full-automatic or robotic equipment is preferred, and a power source with pulse function is configured to enhance the process performance of metal cored wire.
