Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metal welding, and in particular to a welding method for stainless steel and aluminum alloy. Background Art

[0002] Both semiconductor PVD and CVD equipment need to operate under high temperature and high pressure environments, and the equipment needs to be cooled and precisely controlled in order to operate stably for a long time. The existing technology processes flow channels inside aluminum alloys or stainless steel and injects medium for cooling. However, the thermal conductivity of stainless steel cannot meet the cooling requirements, and aluminum alloys are prone to oxidation and corrosion in liquid media and high temperatures for a long time. Therefore, the use of pre-buried stainless steel pipes in cooling equipment can ensure that the cooling medium is not contaminated, and the aluminum alloy transfers heat relatively quickly, which can meet the use requirements. However, due to the different welding parameters of different metals, welding of two dissimilar metals, aluminum alloy and stainless steel, is difficult and not easy to achieve.

[0003] CN111889874A discloses a stirring welding method for aluminum alloy and stainless steel. The stirring welding device comprises a first stirring welding mechanism and a second stirring welding mechanism, wherein the first stirring welding mechanism is provided with a first stirring welding head, and the second stirring welding mechanism is provided with a second stirring welding head. When the stirring welding device is in operation, the first stirring welding mechanism and the second stirring welding mechanism are driven to move toward the weld respectively. The first stirring welding head and the second stirring head are provided to stir-weld the receiving part and the embedded part of the embedded welding part respectively, and the first stirring welding head is first screwed into the receiving part overlapped on the stainless steel to be welded to heat the receiving part, and the stainless steel to be welded is preheated by the heat. Since the stainless steel to be welded is preheated in advance, the stainless steel to be welded can reach a thermoplastic state at the same time as the aluminum alloy to be welded, thereby ensuring that the weld formed after the stirring welding is completed is smoother and has better connection performance.

[0004] CN106271069A discloses a laser welding method for stainless steel and aluminum alloy, the process of which is: respectively treating the plate-shaped stainless steel workpiece and aluminum alloy workpiece to be welded so that their surfaces are free of any impurities and dry, closely fitting and stacking the treated stainless steel workpiece and aluminum alloy workpiece together, using a nanosecond infrared laser to output laser and scanning the surface of the stainless steel workpiece or aluminum alloy workpiece along a welding track to weld them, the thickness of the scanned stainless steel workpiece or aluminum alloy workpiece is 0.05-0.5mm, and during welding, the laser output by the nanosecond infrared laser is perpendicular to the surface of the scanned stainless steel workpiece or aluminum alloy workpiece.

[0005] CN102794561A discloses a reaction stir friction welding method suitable for connecting aluminum alloy and stainless steel. After a Ni-Cu coating is formed on the welding surface of the stainless steel base material, a metal bond or a strong chemical bond is formed at the interface of the layer under the action of stir friction, so that the mediums of each layer have a strong bonding force, and the strength of the connection surface is improved; at the same time, the Al2O3 bond between the aluminum alloy and / or stainless steel dissimilar materials is limited by the barrier delay effect. 13 The amount of brittle compounds such as Fe4, AlFe, and AlFe3 generated increases, thereby improving the plasticity of the connection surface.

[0006] However, the above-mentioned welding method of aluminum alloy and stainless steel still has problems such as high welding cost and low welding bonding rate. Summary of the invention

[0082] Example 5

[0083] This embodiment provides a method for welding stainless steel and aluminum alloy. The welding method is the same as that of Embodiment 1 except that the temperature of the vacuum brazing treatment in step (3) is replaced with 520°C.

[0084] Example 6

[0085] This embodiment provides a method for welding stainless steel and aluminum alloy. The welding method is the same as that of Embodiment 1 except that the temperature of the vacuum brazing treatment in step (3) is replaced with 600°C.

[0086] Combining Example 1 with Examples 5 to 6, it can be seen that in Example 5, due to the relatively low temperature of the vacuum brazing process, the fluidity of the solder is insufficient, which affects the filling of the weld and reduces the welding bonding rate; in Example 6, due to the relatively high temperature of the vacuum brazing process, the solder is excessively lost and the welding bonding rate is reduced.

[0089] In this embodiment, due to the low vacuum degree of vacuum brazing, there will be more oxygen and other gases in the welding area, which will increase the possibility of oxidation and gas porosity, resulting in a decrease in the welding bonding rate.

[0090] Comparative Example 1

[0091] This comparative example provides a method for welding stainless steel and aluminum alloy. The welding method is the same as Example 1 except that step (2) is not performed, that is, the first stainless steel tube and the first aluminum alloy plate are directly vacuum brazed.

[0092] In this comparative example, since the nickel layer is not electroplated on the outer surface of the first stainless steel tube, the welding effect between the stainless steel and the aluminum alloy will be significantly deteriorated, and the welding bonding rate will be greatly reduced.
