Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a single-side full penetration welding process for a stainless steel inclined T-shaped joint, belonging to the technical field of welding. Background Art

[0002] The oblique T-joint is a common joint form in the field of welding. It refers to a T-joint where two workpieces intersect at an angle and are not at right angles. Stainless steel oblique T-joints are widely used in tank containers, pressure pipes, power equipment, nuclear power, automobile manufacturing, shipbuilding and other fields. They are generally used for sealing and conveying fluids. For example, on the outside of the pipes of some power equipment that circulate hot fluids, a certain number of stainless steel components are welded as heat pipes. An oblique T-shaped weld will be formed between these stainless steel components and the main pipe, such as Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the heat dissipation pipe needs to be filled with fluid of specific temperature and medium to ensure that the transportation and storage conditions of the medium in the main pipe meet the requirements. Since one or both sides of these oblique T-shaped joints are in direct contact with fluid of specific material and temperature, it is very easy to cause stress concentration and joint corrosion, resulting in leakage and affecting the use of the product.

[0003] For this kind of stainless steel oblique T-joint with thin rib plate thickness, MIG welding is generally used to weld from the obtuse angle side. In addition to the slow welding speed and low efficiency, this method cannot form a stable full penetration weld. It is easy to form a sharp angle or an incompletely melted gap on the acute angle side. Long-term use will accumulate impurities, causing corrosion. Increasing the penetration depth and forming a stable full penetration weld is one of the main methods to solve the above problems. Laser-MIG hybrid welding has a larger penetration depth than single MIG welding. When welding a T-shaped weld with a thick rib plate and a right angle or nearly right angle between the rib plate and the bottom plate, full penetration welding can be achieved. However, when the rib plate is thin, due to the high energy density of the laser beam, once the laser "keyhole" is formed, one side of the rib plate will be welded and the weld cannot be formed; in addition, since the laser beam cannot penetrate the bottom plate, a "keyhole-shaped" pore will be formed, which seriously affects the welding quality. Summary of the invention

[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a single-sided full penetration welding process for a stainless steel inclined T-joint, which is suitable for an inclined T-joint with an angle α5 between the rib and the bottom plate in the range of 10°-50° and a rib thickness in the range of 0.8mm-6mm. By using a laser-MIG / MAG composite welding full penetration welding process, stable penetration can be achieved on the back side of the weld, thereby reducing stress concentration and corrosion, and having high welding efficiency, thereby solving the above-mentioned problems existing in the background technology.

[0005] The technical solution of the present invention is: A single-side full penetration welding process for a stainless steel oblique T-shaped joint adopts a laser-MIG composite welding method and performs welding from the obtuse angle side of the oblique T-shaped joint; along the welding direction, the laser beam is in front and the MIG arc is in the back, and the distance d1 between the laser beam and the MIG welding wire on the bottom plate surface is 0-15 mm; perpendicular to the welding direction, the distance d2 between the MIG welding wire and the edge of the rib plate is 0-3 mm, and the distance d3 between the laser beam spot and the edge of the rib plate is 0-2 mm; the laser beam spot swings on the workpiece surface, and the swing speed is 80 mm / min-300 mm / min.

[0006] Furthermore, in a plane parallel to the welding direction, the angle α1 between the MIG welding gun and the base plate is 60°-90°, and the angle α2 between the laser beam and the base plate is 45°-100°; in a plane perpendicular to the welding direction, the angle α3 between the MIG welding gun and the base plate is 50°-80°, and the angle α4 between the laser beam and the rib is 60°-110°.

[0007] Furthermore, a swing distance L1 of the laser beam spot perpendicular to the welding direction is 0.2-1 mm, and a swing distance L2 of the laser beam spot along the welding direction is 0.5-3 mm.

[0008] Furthermore, the laser power is 500W-6000W, the defocus is -2mm-+5mm, the MIG welding current is 100A-350A, and the welding speed is 300mm / min-2100mm / min.

[0009] Furthermore, the angle α5 between the rib plate and the bottom plate ranges from 10° to 50°, and the thickness of the rib plate ranges from 0.8 mm to 6 mm.

[0010] The positive effects of the present invention are as follows: by utilizing the laser-MIG / MAG composite welding full penetration welding process, a full penetration weld can be achieved on the other side by welding from one side of the obtuse angle of the inclined T-shaped joint. The welding process is stable, the welding efficiency is high, and the penetration on the back side of the weld is uniform and consistent, which can effectively avoid stress concentration and corrosion cracking tendency.
