Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a tailor welding method, belongs to the field of alloy material processing, and in particular to a tailor welding method for manufacturing narrow and long alloy strips. Background Art

[0002] Currently, due to process limitations, narrow and long alloy bars cannot be formed in one piece, and multiple bars need to be welded together using friction stir welding. Friction stir welding is a solid-phase joining method under the action of mechanical force and frictional heat, and is widely used in aerospace, automotive, rail trains, electronic products, ships and other fields. During the friction stir welding process, the stirring head needs to drive the stirring needle to rotate and insert into the workpiece to be welded. When the stirring head is pulled out after welding, a keyhole will be left on the workpiece, making it difficult to repair the weld. Currently, in order to avoid leaving a keyhole on the workpiece when the stirring needle is pulled out, welding transition plates are added on both sides of the weld during welding. However, due to the interface between the alloy bar and the welding transition plate, the plastic metal flow field here is unstable during welding, and stress concentration is large, which can cause crack-like defects at the edge of the weld. In addition, due to vibration of the equipment during the welding process, the depth of the stirring needle inserted into the workpiece fluctuates, resulting in localized incomplete penetration defects on the lower surface of the weld, ultimately resulting in unqualified weld quality.

[0003] The Chinese patent application with application number 202010545226.5 and application date June 16, 2020, discloses a method for continuous splicing of aluminum alloy plates with good connection effect. Step 1, advance preparation of aluminum alloy plates: select aluminum alloy plates of suitable thickness, flatten them, and the overall horizontality error is less than 0.5 degrees. Then place the aluminum alloy plates for standby, and then prepare connecting aluminum bars that have been injection molded in advance. The number of connecting aluminum bars is the same as the number of aluminum alloy plates; Step 2, preliminary processing of the plates: transport the aluminum alloy plates to the welding table; when welding, groove the aluminum alloy plates in advance, and then use the connecting aluminum bars as welding rods. When welding is performed through a stir friction welding device, the connecting aluminum bars melt quickly and fill in between the two aluminum alloy plates, which can quickly connect the aluminum alloy plates together. Although this patent does not produce hollows at the welding point and has a good connection effect, it still has the following defects:

[0004] The quality of the weld seams of the alloy strips produced by this design is poor.

[0005] The information disclosed in this background technology section is only intended to increase the understanding of the overall background of this patent application, and should not be regarded as an admission or any form of suggestion that the information constitutes the prior art already known to a person skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to overcome the defects and problems of poor quality of alloy strip splicing welds in the prior art and to provide a method for welding alloy strips with better quality of splicing welds for producing narrow and long alloy strips.

[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution of the present invention is: a method for welding a narrow and long alloy bar, the method comprising the following steps:

[0008] The first step is to process the alloy bars to be welded. After the alloy bars are processed, the flatness of the butt joint sides of each alloy bar is tested. If the flatness is qualified, the next step is continued. If the flatness is unqualified, the butt joint sides of each alloy bar are polished until the flatness is qualified, and then the next step is continued.

[0009] Among them, the middle alloy strip is located in the middle of the splicing, and the end alloy strips are located at both ends; the middle alloy strip is I-shaped, and the middle alloy strip includes a first splicing part, a second splicing part, and a connecting part. The first splicing part, the second splicing part, and the connecting part are all rectangular parallelepipeds. In the thickness direction, the upper and lower parts of the first splicing part are respectively thicker than the connecting part by A. In the length direction, the length of the first splicing part is L1. In the width direction, the front and rear parts of the first splicing part are respectively thicker than the connecting part by L2. The second splicing part is the same as the first splicing part; the end alloy strip is T-shaped, and the end alloy strip includes a splicing part and an end part. The splicing part and the end part are rectangular parallelepipeds, and the splicing part is the same as the first splicing part and the second splicing part; the width of the end part, the connecting part, and the alloy strip are consistent, and the thickness of the end part, the connecting part, and the alloy strip are consistent. The sum of the lengths of the first splicing part, the second splicing part, and the connecting part is consistent with the length of the alloy strip, and the sum of the lengths of the splicing part and the end part is consistent with the length of the alloy strip;

[0010] Step 2: When welding the end alloy bar and the middle alloy bar, place the end alloy bar and the middle alloy bar in the corresponding grooves of the tooling platform respectively, and then check the gap value at the butt joint of the end alloy bar and the middle alloy bar. When the gap value at the butt joint meets the requirements, proceed to the next step. When the gap value at the butt joint does not meet the requirements, adjust the relative position of the end alloy bar and the middle alloy bar until the gap value meets the requirements before proceeding to the next step. When welding two middle alloy bars, place the two middle alloy bars in the corresponding grooves of the tooling platform respectively, and then check the gap value at the butt joint of the two middle alloy bars. When the gap value at the butt joint meets the requirements, proceed to the next step. When the gap value at the butt joint does not meet the requirements, adjust the relative position of the two middle alloy bars until the gap value meets the requirements before proceeding to the next step.

[0011] Step 3: When welding the end alloy bar and the intermediate alloy bar, use a pressing block and a clamping bolt to fix the end alloy bar and the intermediate alloy bar on the tooling platform respectively; when welding two intermediate alloy bars, use a pressing block and a clamping bolt to fix the two intermediate alloy bars on the tooling platform respectively;

[0012] Step 4: When welding the end alloy strip to the intermediate alloy strip, use a friction stir welding device to perform friction stir welding on the butt joint between the splicing portion and the first splicing portion; when welding two intermediate alloy strips, use a friction stir welding device to perform friction stir welding on the butt joint between the second splicing portion of one intermediate alloy strip and the first splicing portion of the other intermediate alloy strip;

[0013] Step 5: Loosen the clamping bolts and the pressing block first, then reassemble the remaining alloy bars to be spliced ​​into the corresponding grooves of the tooling platform, and then repeat the above steps 2 to 4 to complete the welding of the remaining alloy bars until all the alloy bars are welded;

[0014] Step 6: First transfer the welded finished alloy bars to the machine tool, and then machine away the excess parts of each alloy bar joint on the machine tool.

[0015] In the first step, the further detecting of the flatness of the butted side surfaces of each alloy strip refers to detecting the flatness of the first joint portion, the second joint portion, and the side surfaces of the alloy strips where the joint portions contact each other.

[0016] In the first step, the "when the flatness is qualified" means that: when the measured flatness of the first splicing part, the second splicing part, and the side surface where the splicing parts contact each other is ≤0.05mm, the flatness is qualified;

[0017] In the first step, A is 0.5-1 mm, L1 is 10-15 mm, and L2 is 20-25 mm.

[0018] In the second step, the step of then checking the gap value at the joint between the end alloy strip and the intermediate alloy strip refers to: using a feeler gauge to check the gap value at the joint between the joint portion of the end alloy strip and the first joint portion of the intermediate alloy strip;

[0019] In the second step, the step of checking the gap value at the joint of the two intermediate alloy bars refers to: using a feeler gauge to check the gap value at the joint between the first joint portion of one intermediate alloy bar and the second joint portion of the other intermediate alloy bar;

[0020] In the second step, the gap value at the butt joint meets the requirement means that the gap value requirement is met when the gap value at the butt joint is ≤0.05 mm.

[0021] The grooves include connecting grooves and docking grooves, the depth of the connecting grooves is consistent with the thickness of the connecting portion and the end portion, and the width of the connecting grooves is consistent with the width of the connecting portion and the end portion;

[0022] The depth of the docking groove is equal to the sum of the thickness of the connecting part and A or the sum of the thickness of the end part and A. The length of the docking groove is the sum of two L1s. The width of the docking groove is consistent with the width of the first splicing part, the second splicing part, and the splicing part.

[0023] In the second step, placing the end alloy bar and the intermediate alloy bar in the corresponding grooves of the tooling platform respectively means that when welding the end alloy bar and the intermediate alloy bar, the end of the end alloy bar and the connecting portion of the intermediate alloy bar are placed in the connecting groove respectively, and the splicing portion and the first splicing portion are placed together in the butt joint groove;

[0024] In the second step, placing the two intermediate alloy bars in the corresponding grooves of the tooling platform respectively means: when welding two intermediate alloy bars, placing the connecting parts of the two intermediate alloy bars in the connecting grooves respectively, and placing the first splicing part of one intermediate alloy bar and the second splicing part of the other intermediate alloy bar together in the docking groove.

[0025] The tooling platform and the pressure block are both provided with through bolt holes that are compatible with the clamping bolts. The clamping bolts pass through the bolt holes of the pressure block and the tooling platform in turn to fix the alloy strip, and the lower surface of the pressure block and the upper surface of the alloy strip are pressed against each other.

[0026] In the third step, the use of pressing blocks and clamping bolts to fix the end alloy bars and the intermediate alloy bars on the tooling platform respectively means that the end alloy bars and the intermediate alloy bars correspond to four pressing blocks and clamping bolts respectively, and the pressing blocks and clamping bolts are evenly distributed along the length direction of the end alloy bars and the intermediate alloy bars, and the end alloy bars and the intermediate alloy bars are fixed on the tooling platform;

[0027] In the third step, the use of pressing blocks and clamping bolts to fix the above-mentioned two intermediate alloy bars on the tooling platform respectively means that: each intermediate alloy bar corresponds to four pressing blocks and clamping bolts, and the pressing blocks and clamping bolts are evenly distributed along the length direction of each intermediate alloy bar to fix the two intermediate alloy bars on the tooling platform.

[0028] In the fifth step, the method of first loosening the clamping bolts and the pressing block, and then reassembling the remaining alloy bars to be spliced ​​in the corresponding grooves of the tooling platform means: after the welding of the two alloy bars is completed, first loosen the clamping bolts and the pressing block, move the welded alloy bars out of the tooling platform from one side, and then re-place the remaining alloy bars to be spliced ​​in the corresponding grooves of the tooling platform from the other side.

[0029] In the sixth step, the step of then processing the excess parts of each joint of the finished alloy bars on the machine tool means: removing the parts of the first splicing part and the second splicing part that are each thicker than the connecting part by A in the thickness direction, the parts of the first splicing part and the second splicing part that are each wider than the connecting part by L2 in the width direction, the parts of the splicing part that are each thicker than the end part by A in the thickness direction, and the parts of the splicing part that are each wider than the end part by L2 in the width direction.

[0030] The processing refers to using an end mill on a gantry milling machine and using a low cutting speed and a small feed rate to control the cutting process.

[0031] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0032] 1. A method for welding narrow and long alloy bars, wherein the intermediate alloy bar is I-shaped, and comprises a first splicing portion, a second splicing portion, and a connecting portion, wherein the first splicing portion, the second splicing portion, and the connecting portion are all rectangular parallelepipeds, and the end alloy bar is T-shaped, and comprises a splicing portion and an end portion, wherein the splicing portion and the end portion are rectangular parallelepipeds, and the splicing portion is the same as the first splicing portion and the second splicing portion; when applied, the I-shaped intermediate alloy bar and the T-shaped end alloy bar are processed respectively, since the first splicing portion, the second splicing portion, and the splicing portion are all butt joints, and the first splicing portion The thickness and width of the second splicing portion and the splicing portion are all larger than the required size of the alloy strip, so that after the alloy strip is friction stir welded, the weld formed at the first splicing portion, the second splicing portion, and the joint of the splicing portion has a processing allowance in the thickness and width directions. The increase in the width direction of the joint avoids the gap between the welding transition plate and the alloy strip, thereby improving the defects similar to cracks at the edge of the weld. The increase in the thickness direction of the joint avoids the defects similar to cracks at the edge of the weld. At the same time, the local incomplete welded portion on the lower surface of the weld can be reprocessed and removed, so that the quality of the weld meets the quality requirements. Therefore, the present invention can not only perform tailor welding on alloy strips, but also improve the defects similar to cracks at the edge of the weld.

[0033] 2. A method for welding narrow and long alloy bars, wherein the end alloy bars and the intermediate alloy bars are respectively placed in corresponding grooves of a tooling platform, the grooves comprising connecting grooves and butting grooves, and the end alloy bars and the intermediate alloy bars are respectively fixed to the tooling platform using a pressure block and a clamping bolt. During application, the end alloy bars and the intermediate alloy bars are first placed in the corresponding grooves of the tooling platform as required, and then the alloy bars are fixed to the tooling platform using a pressure block and a clamping bolt. Because the grooves are arranged according to the first splicing portion, the second splicing portion, the splicing portion, the connecting portion, and the end portion, the fixing effect of the alloy bars can be improved, thereby avoiding the insufficient assembly rigidity and stability caused by direct assembly and welding on the welding platform, thereby improving the quality of the weld. Therefore, the present invention can not only improve the crack-like cracks that appear at the edge of the weld, but also avoid the defects of partial incomplete penetration on the lower surface of the weld.

[0034] 3. A method for welding narrow, long alloy bars, wherein the processing involves using an end mill on a gantry milling machine, and controlling the removal process with a low cutting speed and feed rate. During application, the welded, finished alloy bar is transferred to the gantry milling machine, and the machine's processing parameters are then set based on the size of the excess portion, ensuring that the finished alloy bar meets the final dimensional requirements. The use of a low cutting speed and feed rate to control the removal process avoids introducing new cuts or affecting the flatness of the finished alloy bar during the removal process, thereby ensuring that the quality of the finished alloy bar meets the requirements. Therefore, the present invention not only avoids the occurrence of partial incomplete penetration defects on the lower surface of the weld, but also improves the quality of the finished alloy bar after welding.

If the flatness is acceptable, the next step is performed. If the flatness is unacceptable, the butt joint side surfaces of each alloy strip 1 are polished until the flatness is acceptable, and the next step is performed.

[0053] The middle alloy strip 11 is located in the middle of the splicing, and the end alloy strips 12 are located at both ends; the middle alloy strip 11 is I-shaped, and includes a first splicing portion 111, a second splicing portion 112, and a connecting portion 113. The first splicing portion 111, the second splicing portion 112, and the connecting portion 113 are all rectangular. In the thickness direction, the upper and lower portions of the first splicing portion 111 are respectively thicker than the connecting portion 113 by A. In the length direction, the length of the first splicing portion 111 is L1. In the width direction, the front and rear portions of the first splicing portion 111 are respectively wider than the connecting portion 113 by L2. The second splicing portion 112 is The end alloy strip 12 is the same as the first splicing portion 111; the end alloy strip 12 is T-shaped, and the end alloy strip 12 includes a splicing portion 121 and an end portion 122. The splicing portion 121 and the end portion 122 are rectangular parallelepipeds. The splicing portion 121 is the same as the first splicing portion 111 and the second splicing portion 112; the width of the end portion 122, the connecting portion 113, and the alloy strip 1 are consistent, and the thickness of the end portion 122, the connecting portion 113, and the alloy strip 1 are consistent. The sum of the lengths of the first splicing portion 111, the second splicing portion 112, and the connecting portion 113 is consistent with the length of the alloy strip 1, and the sum of the lengths of the splicing portion 121 and the end portion 122 is consistent with the length of the alloy strip 1;

[0054] Step 2: When welding the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11, place the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11 in the groove 21 corresponding to the tooling platform 2 respectively, and then check the gap value at the butt joint of the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11. When the gap value at the butt joint meets the requirements, proceed to the next step. When the gap value at the butt joint does not meet the requirements, adjust the relative position of the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11 until the gap value meets the requirements, and then proceed to the next step; when welding two intermediate alloy bars 11, place the two intermediate alloy bars 11 in the groove 21 corresponding to the tooling platform 2 respectively, and then check the gap value at the butt joint of the two intermediate alloy bars 11. When the gap value at the butt joint meets the requirements, proceed to the next step. When the gap value at the butt joint does not meet the requirements, adjust the relative position of the two intermediate alloy bars 11 until the gap value meets the requirements, and then proceed to the next step;

[0055] Step 3: When welding the end alloy strip 12 and the intermediate alloy strip 11, use the pressing block 23 and the clamping bolt 24 to fix the end alloy strip 12 and the intermediate alloy strip 11 on the tooling platform 2 respectively; when welding two intermediate alloy strips 11, use the pressing block 23 and the clamping bolt 24 to fix the two intermediate alloy strips 11 on the tooling platform 2 respectively;

[0056] Step 4: When welding the end alloy strip 12 to the intermediate alloy strip 11, the friction stir welding device 3 is used to perform friction stir welding on the butt joint between the splicing portion 121 and the first splicing portion 111. When welding two intermediate alloy strips 11, the friction stir welding device 3 is used to perform friction stir welding on the butt joint between the second splicing portion 112 of one intermediate alloy strip 11 and the first splicing portion 111 of the other intermediate alloy strip 11.

[0057] Step 5: First loosen the clamping bolts 24 and the pressing block 23, then reassemble the remaining alloy bars 1 to be spliced ​​into the corresponding grooves 21 of the tooling platform 2, and then repeat the operations of steps 2 to 4 above to complete the welding of the remaining alloy bars 1 until all alloy bars 1 are welded;

[0058] Step 6: First, the welded finished alloy strip 13 is transferred to a machine tool, and then the excess portion of each alloy strip 1 at the joint of the finished alloy strip 13 is machined off on the machine tool.

[0059] In the first step, the further detection of the flatness of the butted side surfaces of each alloy strip 1 refers to: detecting the flatness of the contacting side surfaces of the first splicing portion 111, the second splicing portion 112, and the splicing portion 121 of the alloy strip 1;

[0060] In the first step, the flatness is qualified when the measured flatness of the contacting side surfaces of the first splicing portion 111, the second splicing portion 112, and the splicing portion 121 is ≤ 0.05 mm.

[0061] In the first step, A is 0.5-1 mm, L1 is 10-15 mm, and L2 is 20-25 mm.

[0062] In the second step, the step of checking the gap value at the joint between the end alloy strip 12 and the intermediate alloy strip 11 refers to checking the gap value at the joint between the joint portion 121 of the end alloy strip 12 and the first joint portion 111 of the intermediate alloy strip 11 using a feeler gauge.

[0063] In the second step, the step of checking the gap value at the joint of the two intermediate alloy strips 11 refers to checking the gap value at the joint between the first joint portion 111 of one intermediate alloy strip 11 and the second joint portion 112 of the other intermediate alloy strip 11 using a feeler gauge;

[0064] In the second step, the gap value at the butt joint meets the requirement means that the gap value requirement is met when the gap value at the butt joint is ≤0.05 mm.

[0065] The groove 21 includes a connecting groove 211 and a docking groove 212. The depth of the connecting groove 211 is consistent with the thickness of the connecting portion 113 and the end portion 122. The width of the connecting groove 211 is consistent with the width of the connecting portion 113 and the end portion 122.

[0066] The depth of the docking groove 212 is equal to the sum of the thickness of the connecting part 113 and A or the sum of the thickness of the end part 122 and A. The length of the docking groove 212 is the sum of two L1s. The width of the docking groove 212 is consistent with the width of the first splicing part 111, the second splicing part 112, and the splicing part 121.

[0067] In the second step, the step of placing the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11 in the corresponding grooves 21 of the tooling platform 2 respectively means that when welding the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11, the end portion 122 of the end alloy bar 12 and the connecting portion 113 of the intermediate alloy bar 11 are placed in the connecting groove 211 respectively, and the splicing portion 121 and the first splicing portion 111 are placed together in the docking groove 212;

[0068] In the second step, placing the two intermediate alloy bars 11 in the corresponding grooves 21 of the tooling platform 2 respectively means: when welding the two intermediate alloy bars 11, the connecting portions 113 of the two intermediate alloy bars 11 are respectively placed in the connecting grooves 211, and the first splicing portion 111 of one intermediate alloy bar 11 and the second splicing portion 112 of the other intermediate alloy bar 11 are placed together in the docking groove 212.

[0069] The tooling platform 2 and the pressure block 23 are both provided with through bolt holes that are compatible with the clamping bolts 24. The clamping bolts 24 pass through the bolt holes of the pressure block 23 and the tooling platform 2 in sequence to fix the alloy bar 1. The lower surface of the pressure block 23 and the upper surface of the alloy bar 1 are pressed against each other.

[0070] In the third step, the use of the pressing blocks 23 and the clamping bolts 24 to fix the end alloy bars 12 and the intermediate alloy bars 11 on the tooling platform 2 respectively means that the end alloy bars 12 and the intermediate alloy bars 11 correspond to four pressing blocks 23 and clamping bolts 24 respectively, and the pressing blocks 23 and the clamping bolts 24 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the end alloy bars 12 and the intermediate alloy bars 11, and the end alloy bars 12 and the intermediate alloy bars 11 are fixed on the tooling platform 2;

[0071] In the third step, the use of the pressing blocks 23 and the clamping bolts 24 to fix the two intermediate alloy bars 11 on the tooling platform 2 respectively means that each intermediate alloy bar 11 corresponds to four pressing blocks 23 and clamping bolts 24, and the pressing blocks 23 and clamping bolts 24 are evenly distributed along the length direction of each intermediate alloy bar 11, so that the two intermediate alloy bars 11 are fixed on the tooling platform 2.

[0072] In the fifth step, the tightening bolts 24 and the pressing block 23 are loosened first, and then the remaining alloy bars 1 to be spliced ​​are reassembled in the groove 21 corresponding to the tooling platform 2. This means that after the welding of the two alloy bars 1 is completed, the tightening bolts 24 and the pressing block 23 are loosened first, the welded alloy bars 1 are moved out of the tooling platform 2 from one side, and then the remaining alloy bars 1 to be spliced ​​are re-placed in the groove 21 corresponding to the tooling platform 2 from the other side.

[0073] In the sixth step, the excess parts of each alloy bar 1 at the joint of the finished alloy bar 13 are then processed on the machine tool, which means: the parts of the first splicing part 111 and the second splicing part 112 that are thicker than the connecting part 113 by A in the thickness direction, the parts of the first splicing part 111 and the second splicing part 112 that are wider than the connecting part 113 by L2 in the width direction, the parts of the splicing part 121 that are thicker than the end part 122 by A in the thickness direction, and the parts of the splicing part 121 that are wider than the end part 122 by L2 in the width direction are removed.

[0074] The processing refers to using an end mill on a gantry milling machine and using a low cutting speed and a small feed rate to control the cutting process.

[0075] The supplementary description of the present invention is as follows:

[0078] The dimensions of the narrow and long finished alloy bar 13 preferably manufactured in the present invention are 9600-18000 mm in length, 10-200 mm in width, and 2-5 mm in thickness.

[0079] In the present invention, after 100% color flaw detection and 100% radiographic flaw detection are performed on the weld 4 at the joint, the flaw detection results meet the Grade I requirements of the NB / T47013-2015 standard, indicating that the weld 4 is of qualified quality.

[0080] The preferred working principle of the friction stir welding of the present invention is as follows: during the friction stir welding process, the stirring head 31 drives the stirring needle 32 to rotate and slowly insert into the workpiece 5 to be welded. The friction shear resistance between the stirring head 31 and the material to be welded generates friction heat, which plasticizes the parent material a in the adjacent area being stirred. The stirring head 31 rotates and moves forward along the joint of the workpiece 5 to be welded. The hot plasticized metal material flows to the rear of the stirring head under the welding pressure and the wrapping action of the shaft shoulder 34, forming a dense solid-phase connection joint.

[0081] The reason why the present invention preferably increases A in the thickness direction is that the material is plasticized during the welding process, and the thickness dimension of the part will decrease under the action of pressure.

[0082] In the present invention, the dimension A increased in the thickness direction is preferably 0.5-1 mm, the dimension L1 increased in the width direction is 10-15 mm, and the dimension L2 increased in the length direction is 20-25 mm.

[0083] The reason why the present invention prefers L1 to be 10-15 mm and L2 to be 20-25 mm is that it is determined according to the structure of the friction stir welding equipment.

[0084] In the preferred sixth step of the present invention, in the process of machining off the excess portion of each alloy bar 1 at the joint of the finished alloy bar 13 on the machine tool, the process parameters of the machine tool are set to machining thickness A and machining single side length L2.

[0085] The present invention preferably adopts a small cutting speed and a small feed rate to control the removal process in the sixth step because it avoids introducing new wounds or affecting the flatness of the finished alloy strip 13 during the process of machining the excess part, and ensures that the spliced ​​weld 4 is 100% dye-detected and 100% radiographically inspected after machining, and the inspection results meet the Class I requirements of the NB / T47013-2015 standard.

[0086] Example 1:

[0087] See also Figure 1 — Figure 14 A tailor welding method for producing a narrow and long alloy bar comprises the following steps:

[0088] The first step is to process the alloy strips 1 to be welded. After the alloy strips 1 are processed, the flatness of the butt joint side surfaces of each alloy strip 1 is tested. If the flatness is acceptable, the next step is performed. If the flatness is unacceptable, the butt joint side surfaces of each alloy strip 1 are polished until the flatness is acceptable, and the next step is performed.

[0089] The middle alloy strip 11 is located in the middle of the splicing, and the end alloy strips 12 are located at both ends; the middle alloy strip 11 is I-shaped, and includes a first splicing portion 111, a second splicing portion 112, and a connecting portion 113. The first splicing portion 111, the second splicing portion 112, and the connecting portion 113 are all rectangular. In the thickness direction, the upper and lower portions of the first splicing portion 111 are respectively thicker than the connecting portion 113 by A. In the length direction, the length of the first splicing portion 111 is L1. In the width direction, the front and rear portions of the first splicing portion 111 are respectively wider than the connecting portion 113 by L2. The second splicing portion 112 is The end alloy strip 12 is the same as the first splicing portion 111; the end alloy strip 12 is T-shaped, and the end alloy strip 12 includes a splicing portion 121 and an end portion 122. The splicing portion 121 and the end portion 122 are rectangular parallelepipeds. The splicing portion 121 is the same as the first splicing portion 111 and the second splicing portion 112; the width of the end portion 122, the connecting portion 113, and the alloy strip 1 are consistent, and the thickness of the end portion 122, the connecting portion 113, and the alloy strip 1 are consistent. The sum of the lengths of the first splicing portion 111, the second splicing portion 112, and the connecting portion 113 is consistent with the length of the alloy strip 1, and the sum of the lengths of the splicing portion 121 and the end portion 122 is consistent with the length of the alloy strip 1;

[0090] Step 2: When welding the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11, place the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11 in the groove 21 corresponding to the tooling platform 2 respectively, and then check the gap value at the butt joint of the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11. When the gap value at the butt joint meets the requirements, proceed to the next step. When the gap value at the butt joint does not meet the requirements, adjust the relative position of the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11 until the gap value meets the requirements, and then proceed to the next step; when welding two intermediate alloy bars 11, place the two intermediate alloy bars 11 in the groove 21 corresponding to the tooling platform 2 respectively, and then check the gap value at the butt joint of the two intermediate alloy bars 11. When the gap value at the butt joint meets the requirements, proceed to the next step. When the gap value at the butt joint does not meet the requirements, adjust the relative position of the two intermediate alloy bars 11 until the gap value meets the requirements, and then proceed to the next step;

[0091] Step 3: When welding the end alloy strip 12 and the intermediate alloy strip 11, use the pressing block 23 and the clamping bolt 24 to fix the end alloy strip 12 and the intermediate alloy strip 11 on the tooling platform 2 respectively; when welding two intermediate alloy strips 11, use the pressing block 23 and the clamping bolt 24 to fix the two intermediate alloy strips 11 on the tooling platform 2 respectively;

[0092] Step 4: When welding the end alloy strip 12 to the intermediate alloy strip 11, the friction stir welding device 3 is used to perform friction stir welding on the butt joint between the splicing portion 121 and the first splicing portion 111. When welding two intermediate alloy strips 11, the friction stir welding device 3 is used to perform friction stir welding on the butt joint between the second splicing portion 112 of one intermediate alloy strip 11 and the first splicing portion 111 of the other intermediate alloy strip 11.

[0093] Step 5: First loosen the clamping bolts 24 and the pressing block 23, then reassemble the remaining alloy bars 1 to be spliced ​​into the corresponding grooves 21 of the tooling platform 2, and then repeat the operations of steps 2 to 4 above to complete the welding of the remaining alloy bars 1 until all alloy bars 1 are welded;

[0094] Step 6: First, the welded finished alloy strip 13 is transferred to a machine tool, and then the excess portion of each alloy strip 1 at the joint of the finished alloy strip 13 is machined off on the machine tool.

[0095] Example 2:

[0096] The basic content is the same as Example 1, except that: in the first step, the further detection of the flatness of the joint side surfaces of each alloy bar 1 refers to: detecting the flatness of the contact side surfaces of the first splicing portion 111, the second splicing portion 112, and the splicing portion 121 of the alloy bar 1 respectively; in the first step, when the flatness is qualified, it means that when the measured flatness of the contact side surfaces of the first splicing portion 111, the second splicing portion 112, and the splicing portion 121 is ≤0.05mm, the flatness is qualified; in the first step, A is 0.5-1mm, L1 is 10-15mm, and L2 is 20-25mm.

[0097] During application, first perform a flatness test on the contact sides of the first splicing part 111, the second splicing part 112, and the splicing part 121 respectively. When the flatness is ≤0.05mm, the flatness is qualified and proceed to the next step. If the flatness is unqualified, the contact sides of the first splicing part 111, the second splicing part 112, and the splicing part 121 are polished until the flatness is qualified. Ensuring that the flatness of the side surfaces of the butt joint is qualified can improve the firmness, sealing and appearance quality of the weld 4 joint, thereby improving the quality of the weld 4.

[0098] Example 3:

[0099] The basic content is the same as that of Example 1, except that: in the second step, the step of then checking the gap value at the joint between the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11 refers to using a feeler gauge to check the gap value at the joint between the splicing portion 121 of the end alloy bar 12 and the first splicing portion 111 of the intermediate alloy bar 11; in the second step, the step of then checking the gap value at the joint between the two intermediate alloy bars 11 refers to using a feeler gauge to check the gap value at the joint between the first splicing portion 111 of one intermediate alloy bar 11 and the second splicing portion 112 of the other intermediate alloy bar 11; in the second step, the step of "when the gap value at the joint meets the requirement" refers to: when the gap value at the joint is ≤0.05 mm, it meets the gap value requirement.

[0100] When applying, first check the gap value at the joint of the two alloy strips 1. When the gap value is ≤0.05mm, it meets the gap value requirement and proceed to the next step. If the gap value is unqualified, continue to adjust the relative position of the two alloy strips 1 until the gap value is qualified; because the size of the gap at the joint will directly affect the formation of the weld, too large a gap value will lead to uneven weld formation, increase welding defects, and thus affect the quality of weld 4.

[0101] Example 4:

[0102] The basic content is the same as that of Example 1, except that: the groove 21 includes a connecting groove 211 and a docking groove 212, the depth of the connecting groove 211 is consistent with the thickness of the connecting portion 113 and the end portion 122, and the width of the connecting groove 211 is consistent with the width of the connecting portion 113 and the end portion 122; the depth of the docking groove 212 is equal to the sum of the thickness of the connecting portion 113 and A or the sum of the thickness of the end portion 122 and A, the length of the docking groove 212 is the sum of two L1s, and the width of the docking groove 212 is consistent with the width of the first splicing portion 111, the second splicing portion 112, and the splicing portion 121; in the second step, The said placing the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11 in the groove 21 corresponding to the tooling platform 2 respectively means: when welding the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11, the end 122 of the end alloy bar 12 and the connecting portion 113 of the intermediate alloy bar 11 are respectively placed in the connecting groove 211, and the splicing portion 121 and the first splicing portion 111 are placed together in the docking groove 212; in the second step, the said placing the two intermediate alloy bars 11 in the groove 21 corresponding to the tooling platform 2 respectively means: when welding the two intermediate alloy bars 11, the connecting portions 113 of the two intermediate alloy bars 11 are respectively placed in the connecting groove 211, and the two intermediate alloy bars 11 are placed together in the docking groove 212. The first splicing portion 111 of one intermediate alloy bar 11 and the second splicing portion 112 of the other intermediate alloy bar 11 are placed together in the docking groove 212; the tooling platform 2 and the pressing block 23 are provided with through bolt holes adapted to the clamping bolts 24, and the clamping bolts 24 are passed through the bolt holes of the pressing block 23 and the tooling platform 2 in sequence to fix the alloy bar 1, and the lower surface of the pressing block 23 and the upper surface of the alloy bar 1 are pressed against each other; in the third step, the use of the pressing block 23 and the clamping bolts 24 to fix the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11 on the tooling platform 2 respectively means: the end alloy bar 12, the intermediate alloy bar 11 The gold bar 11 corresponds to four pressing blocks 23 and tightening bolts 24 respectively. The pressing blocks 23 and tightening bolts 24 are evenly distributed along the length direction of the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11, and the end alloy bar 12 and the intermediate alloy bar 11 are fixed on the tooling platform 2; in the third step, the use of pressing blocks 23 and tightening bolts 24 to fix the above-mentioned two intermediate alloy bars 11 on the tooling platform 2 respectively means that: each intermediate alloy bar 11 corresponds to four pressing blocks 23 and tightening bolts 24 respectively, and the pressing blocks 23 and tightening bolts 24 are evenly distributed along the length direction of each intermediate alloy bar 11, and the two intermediate alloy bars 11 are fixed on the tooling platform 2.

[0103] During application, when welding the end alloy strip 12 and the middle alloy strip 11, the end 122 of the end alloy strip 12 and the connecting portion 113 of the middle alloy strip 11 are placed in the connecting groove 211 respectively, and the splicing portion 121 and the first splicing portion 111 are placed together in the docking groove 212, and then the gap value at the docking of the splicing portion 121 and the first splicing portion 111 is measured. If the gap value is qualified, the clamping bolt 24 is passed through the corresponding bolt holes of the pressure block 23 and the tooling platform 2, and then the end alloy strip 12 and the middle alloy strip 11 are fixed on the tooling platform 2; when welding two middle alloy strips 11, the connecting portions 113 of the two middle alloy strips 11 are placed in the connecting groove 211 respectively, and one of the middle alloy strips 11 is placed in the connecting groove 212. The first joint portion 111 of the gold bar 11 and the second joint portion 112 of the other intermediate alloy bar 11 are placed together in the docking groove 212. Then, the gap value at the docking position of the first joint portion 111 of one intermediate alloy bar 11 and the second joint portion 112 of the other intermediate alloy bar 11 is measured. If the gap value is qualified, the two intermediate alloy bars 11 are fixed to the tooling platform 2 after the clamping bolt 24 is passed through the corresponding bolt holes of the pressure block 23 and the tooling platform 2. Because the connecting groove 211 and the docking groove 212 on the tooling platform 2 are consistent with the outer dimensions of the alloy bar 1, the alloy bar 1 can be prevented from moving in the tooling platform 2 during welding, thereby ensuring the assembly rigidity and stability, thereby improving the quality of the weld 4.

[0104] Example 5:

[0105] The basic content is the same as Example 1, except that: in the fifth step, the first loosening of the clamping bolts 24 and the pressing block 23, and then reassembling the remaining alloy bars 1 to be spliced ​​in the corresponding groove 21 of the tooling platform 2 means: after the welding of the two alloy bars 1 is completed, first loosen the clamping bolts 24 and the pressing block 23, move the welded alloy bars 1 out of the tooling platform 2 from one side, and then re-place the remaining alloy bars 1 to be spliced ​​in the corresponding groove 21 of the tooling platform 2 from the other side.

[0106] During use, after welding the two alloy bars 1, first loosen the clamping bolts 24 and the pressing blocks 23, then move the welded alloy bars 1 out of the tooling platform 2 from one side, and then re-place the remaining alloy bars 1 to be spliced ​​into the corresponding grooves 21 of the tooling platform 2 from the other side, and dock and weld the first splicing portion 111 of the newly installed alloy bar 1 with the second splicing portion 112 of the middle alloy bar 11 on one side.

[0107] Example 6:

[0108] The basic content is the same as that of Example 1, except that: in the sixth step, the processing of the excess parts of each alloy bar 1 at the joint of the finished alloy bar 13 on the machine tool means: removing the parts of the first splicing part 111 and the second splicing part 112 whose thickness direction is increased by A compared with the thickness of the connecting part 113, the parts of the first splicing part 111 and the second splicing part 112 whose width direction is increased by L2 compared with the width of the connecting part 113, the parts of the splicing part 121 whose thickness direction is increased by A compared with the thickness of the end part 122, and the parts of the splicing part 121 whose width direction is increased by L2 compared with the width of the end part 122; the processing means using an end mill on a gantry milling machine and controlling the removal process with a small cutting speed and a small feed rate.

[0109] During application, the finished alloy strip 13 welded together is transferred to a gantry milling machine, and an end mill is used to cut off the excess part at the joint. During the cutting process, the processing parameters of the machine are set according to the size of the excess part, and a small cutting speed and a small feed rate are used for control, so that the finished alloy strip 13 meets the final size requirements. At the same time, it avoids introducing new wounds during the cutting process or affecting the flatness of the finished alloy strip 13, so that the quality of the finished alloy strip 13 meets the requirements.

When the flatness is ≤0.05 mm, the flatness is qualified and the next step is continued. When the flatness is unqualified, the butt-jointed side surfaces of each alloy strip 1 are polished until the flatness is qualified and the next step is continued.
