Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of welding, and more particularly relates to a high-performance thick-wall electric-gas vertical welding method and device assisted by liquid nitrogen rapid cooling. BACKGROUND

[0002] In recent years, with the development of the exploitation of China's offshore oil and gas resources to harsh conditions such as low temperature and deep water, the thickness of offshore platform jacket steel is getting larger and larger, and higher requirements are put forward for the efficiency of welding and the quality of welded joints. At present, electric-gas vertical welding (EGW) as a high-efficiency large heat input welding technology is gradually replacing the traditional multi-pass welding process of thick plates. The maximum heat input of single-wire electric-gas vertical welding can reach 350kJ / cm, realizing single-pass forming of 40mm thick plates. In the face of larger plate thickness, the heat input of double-wire electric-gas vertical welding can reach 750kJ / cm, realizing single-pass forming of 85mm thick plates. However, excessive heat input will inevitably lead to the embrittlement of the heat affected zone, reducing the overall toughness of the welded joint.

[0003] To improve the toughness of the welded joint, CN116890180A discloses a high-strength steel thick plate welded joint groove and double-wire electric-gas vertical welding method. This method reduces the cross-sectional area of the groove by reducing the angle of the groove, thereby weakening the heat input of electric-gas vertical welding. However, the reduction of the groove angle is limited by the space of the welding gun swing range, and when the plate thickness becomes larger and larger, the heat input will increase rapidly. CN217832376U discloses a device for increasing the cooling effect of electric-gas vertical welding water-cooled sliding block. This device increases the cooling effect by setting a water-cooled sliding block device. However, the main function of the sliding block is to force the formation of the welded joint, and the main function of the water cooling is to prevent the melting of the sliding block. Moreover, it can only take away part of the heat from the welded joint area and cannot cool the heat affected zone. Therefore, electric-gas vertical welding is currently mainly used in some occasions where performance requirements are not high. In the face of harsh low-temperature marine environments, the embrittlement problem of the coarse-grained heat affected zone of the welded joint has seriously restricted its application. SUMMARY

[0004] In view of the defects of the prior art, the application provides a high-performance thick-wall electric-gas vertical welding method and device assisted by liquid nitrogen rapid cooling, aiming to solve the problem of excessive heat input of existing electric-gas vertical welding, which leads to poor toughness of the welded joint.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0027] In order to make the purpose, technical solutions and advantages of the present application more clear, the present application is further described in detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0028] As shown in Figures 1-4 , the present application provides a high-performance welding method of thick-wall gas-electric vertical welding assisted by liquid nitrogen rapid cooling, specifically: a thick plate to be welded 1 with a thickness greater than 30mm is matched to form a welding bevel, the welding bevel preferably adopts a single-sided V-shaped bevel or an X-shaped bevel, and then the welding bevel is welded by gas-electric vertical welding;

[0029] During the welding process, the welding surface of the thick plate to be welded 1 is locally rapidly cooled by liquid nitrogen cooling, liquid nitrogen has the advantages of fast cooling speed and can quickly absorb a large amount of heat, quickly take away the heat of the welded joint area, thereby realizing the rapid cooling of the heat affected zone, avoiding the embrittlement problem of the coarse grain heat affected zone of the welded joint, and further making the welded product more suitable for the harsh low-temperature marine environment, and the liquid nitrogen also has the advantage of no residual pollution, which will not adversely affect the welded joint.

[0030] At the same time, the back of the welding surface of the thick plate to be welded 1 is indirectly water-cooled or directly water-cooled, thereby cooperating with the liquid nitrogen rapid cooling to improve the cooling speed of the heat affected zone of the welded joint.

[0031] The application adopts the liquid nitrogen cooling method to locally rapidly cool the welding surface of the thick plate to be welded, which can effectively improve the cooling speed of the welding heat affected zone and avoid the embrittlement problem of the coarse grain heat affected zone of the welded joint.

The welding current is 320A-480A, the welding voltage is 36V-44V, the welding speed is 2.9cm / min-3.6cm / min, the welding gun swing range is 10mm-15mm, the both sides stay time is 0.4s, the heat input range is 240kJ / cm-353kJ / cm, and the heat input range is 240kJ / cm-353kJ / cm. The gas-electric vertical welding wire diameter is 1.6mm, the wire dry elongation is 30mm-35mm, the welding protective gas is 100% CO2, and the gas flow is 30L / min-35L / min.

[0034] Further, the liquid nitrogen flow rate is 0.1L / min-0.2L / min, and the flow rate is too small, which will lead to poor cooling effect of the welding heat affected zone, and the flow rate is too large, which will on the one hand lead to high welding cost, and on the other hand will make the heat affected zone produce brittle structure such as lath martensite / bainite.

[0035] According to another aspect of the present application, a thick-walled gas-electric vertical welding high-performance welding device based on liquid nitrogen rapid cooling assistance is provided for performing the above method, the welding device comprising a welding torch 17, a back water cooling assembly and a front water cooling assembly, wherein the welding torch 17 is used for welding the welding groove by gas-electric vertical welding; the back water cooling assembly is arranged on the back of the welding surface of the thick plate 1 to be welded and is used for water cooling the back of the welding surface; the front water cooling assembly is arranged on the welding surface of the thick plate 1 to be welded and moves with the welding torch 17, and the front water cooling assembly comprises a water cooling slide 4 and a shielding gas channel 7, a cooling water channel 12 and a liquid nitrogen injection channel 13 arranged inside the water cooling slide 4, the shielding gas channel 7 is used for providing shielding gas during welding; the cooling water channel 12 is used for circulating cooling water to cool the water cooling slide 4 during welding to prevent the water cooling slide 4 from being melted due to high temperature; and the liquid nitrogen injection channel 13 is used for injecting liquid nitrogen to the welding joint to achieve local rapid cooling during welding.

[0036] Further, when the thick-walled gas-electric vertical welding high-performance welding device based on liquid nitrogen rapid cooling assistance is installed, the middle line of the water cooling slide 4 is strictly guaranteed to be aligned with the center line of the welding groove to be welded, and the shielding gas channel 7 is arranged at the center of the water cooling slide 4; the first water inlet 6 and the first water outlet 8 of the cooling water channel 12 are arranged on both sides of the shielding gas channel 7, respectively, and the first water inlet 6 and the first water outlet 8 are connected with a first constant-temperature circulating cooling water tank during work to realize cooling water circulation; the liquid nitrogen injection channel 13 is two, which are arranged on both sides of the first water inlet 6 and the first water outlet 8, respectively, and are opposite to the positions of the coarse grain heat affected zone on both sides of the weld, and a liquid nitrogen injector is fixed inside the liquid nitrogen injection channel 13 to realize liquid nitrogen injection cooling, and the center line of the liquid nitrogen injector should always be 1mm-2mm away from the outside of the weld fusion line to ensure that the liquid nitrogen 14 effectively acts on the coarse grain heat affected zone. More preferably, the distance between the end of the liquid nitrogen injector and the thick plate 1 to be welded should be between 1mm-3mm.

[0037] Further, when the wall thickness of the thick plate 1 to be welded is less than 50mm, as shown in Figure 1 、 2 , the back water cooling assembly comprises a back water cooling pad 2 and a water cooling pipe 3 arranged inside the back water cooling pad 2, the back water cooling pad 2 is installed at the root of the welding groove to be welded along the length direction of the thick plate 1 to be welded and is tightly attached to the back of the welding surface of the thick plate 1 to be welded, and the water cooling pipe 3 is distributed in a serpentine shape inside the back water cooling pad 2. The second water inlet 10 of the water cooling pipe 3 is arranged at the bottom of the back water cooling pad 2, and the second water outlet 11 of the water cooling pipe 3 is arranged at the top of the back water cooling pad 2, and the second water inlet 10 and the second water outlet 11 are connected with a second constant-temperature circulating cooling water tank during work to realize cooling water circulation. The temperature of the first constant-temperature circulating cooling water tank and the second constant-temperature circulating cooling water tank is set to 20℃-30℃.

[0038] Further, the width W of the back water cooling pad 2 is more than 3 times the maximum bevel width W1, i.e. W≥3W1, to ensure the water cooling effect of the back.

[0039] Further, when the wall thickness of the thick plate 1 to be welded is greater than or equal to 50 mm, as shown in Figure 3 、 4 When welding the first surface, the back water cooling assembly includes a cooling water pipe 15, which is moved synchronously with the front water cooling assembly during welding, for spraying cooling water 16 to the root of the welding bevel, thereby cooling the back of the welding surface by direct water cooling.

[0040] The existing gas-electric vertical welding technology without external cooling source only limits the heat input by limiting the cross-sectional area of the bevel, or relies on the action of the water cooling slider to accelerate the cooling of the weld, which has very weak effect. By using the external cooling source, the back of the welding surface is cooled by a large-area water cooling pad or the root of the welding joint is cooled by direct water spraying during welding, the liquid nitrogen acts on the coarse-grained heat-affected zone to cause local temperature field distortion, and under the combined action of the two, the cooling speed of the welding heat-affected zone is maximized, the high-temperature residence time is reduced, the width of the welding heat-affected zone is reduced, and the toughness of the welding joint is improved.
