Especially when welding on one side with a gap (4mm~6mm) at the welding groove, the welding deformation cannot be controlled at all, and the overall size of the box structure cannot meet the design size requirements and installation accuracy requirements. Summary of the invention

The method processes a K-type asymmetric welding groove with a blunt edge by mechanical processing, and uses tungsten inert gas arc welding for assembly positioning, with an assembly gap of 0 to 1mm; after assembly, TIG priming and filling are performed on the front side, and then filling welding is performed on the back side, realizing zero gap full penetration welding of austenitic stainless steel plate fillet welds in the production of box-type pressure vessels, and solving the technical problems of austenitic stainless steel welding.
[0006] The solution adopted by the embodiment of the present application to solve the technical problem is: A method for full penetration welding of austenitic stainless steel zero-gap K-type joints, comprising the following steps: The first step is to mechanically process the K-type asymmetric welding groove with blunt edges; The second step is to use positioning welding to position and assemble the joint, with the groove gap being 0 to 1 mm; the positioning welding is done by tungsten inert gas arc welding without adding welding wire; The third step is to use tungsten inert gas arc welding to perform the front weld base welding, and at the same time, argon filling protection is performed on the back side. No welding wire is added for base welding; Step 4: After the base welding is completed, weld the front TIG weld and the back TIG weld alternately.
[0007] In order to further solve the technical problems to be solved by the embodiments of the present application, in a full penetration welding method for austenitic stainless steel zero gap K-type joint provided in the embodiment of the present application, in the first step, the blunt edge length d=4mm±0.5mm of the welding groove, the blunt edge thickness e=1.8mm±0.2mm, and the blunt edge end groove angle α=45°±2.5°.
[0008] Furthermore, in the second step, the positioning welding interval is 300mm-400mm, and the welding current is 60A-70A.
[0009] Furthermore, in the third step, the welding current is 160A to 170A, and the welding speed is 100 mm / min to 150 mm / min.
[0010] Positive effect: The embodiment provides a method for full penetration welding of austenitic stainless steel zero gap K-type joint, which realizes zero gap full penetration welding in the production of box-type pressure vessels; reduces the processes of assembling, removing, grinding, and repeatedly filling argon on the back side of the positioning plugs, improves construction efficiency, and shortens the construction period; greatly reduces the difficulty of assembly and improves assembly accuracy; by adopting double-sided welding and zero gap welding, the welding filling amount is reduced, and at the same time the welding deformation is reduced, effectively ensuring the structural shape and structural size of the box-type pressure vessel.
