Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to a nickel-based alloy plate and a laser wire-filling welding method thereof. Background Art

[0002] As one of the candidate reactor types for the fourth-generation nuclear reactor, the molten salt reactor (MSR) has attracted more and more attention from the nuclear power industry due to its safer, more efficient and more sustainable structural design. GH3535 nickel-based alloy has excellent corrosion resistance and high-temperature mechanical properties, and is used as a structural material for molten salt reactors. Due to the harsh service conditions of molten salt reactors, key equipment such as the main container is often manufactured by welding thick plate structural materials. However, nickel-based alloys have poor welding fluidity, and defects such as high-temperature solidification cracking and unfused welding often occur during the welding process, which seriously endangers the mechanical and service properties of the welded joints. At the same time, traditional arc welding methods are inefficient and require layer-by-layer grinding, which seriously affects the manufacturing progress of reactor components.

[0003] At present, the main problems in welding GH3535 nickel-based alloy are:

[0004] (1) Weld solidification cracking problem. GH3535 nickel-based alloy often suffers from solidification cracking during laser wire welding, which seriously endangers the mechanical properties and service safety of the welded joint;

[0005] (2) Interlayer grinding pollution problem. Nickel-based alloys are easily oxidized during the welding process. Traditional arc welding requires mechanical grinding to remove the oxide layer for each layer. The welding efficiency is low and the dust pollution is serious, which brings great inconvenience and harm to the on-site assembly environment and construction personnel.

[0006] (3) Poor fusion of nickel-based alloys in narrow gaps. Nickel-based alloys are prone to poor melting and fusion in narrow gap groove welding due to poor molten metal fluidity and narrow light wire energy matching window, which can easily lead to unqualified weld joint quality. Summary of the invention

[0007] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the existing thick plate narrow gap nickel-based alloy plate welding requires interlayer grinding and the weld is prone to defects, and to provide a nickel-based alloy plate and a laser wire welding method thereof. The welding method of the present invention can effectively suppress defects in the weld and obtain a weld without solidification cracking and unfused defects.

Except for the laser power of 4800 W and the wire feeding speed of 4.8 m / min, the other welding parameters are the same as those of step (3);

[0108] Obtain the welded plate.

[0109] Figure 2 The above is a schematic diagram of the welding process of this embodiment, wherein: Figure 2 Figure (b) shows the blunt edge welding of the groove, Figure (c) shows the laser wire welding to fill the groove, and Figure (d) shows the cover welding.

[0110] Figure 5 The figure shows the relationship between the depth-to-width ratio of a single-layer weld and weld cracks in laser wire welding. In the figure, W is the weld width of a single-layer weld with filler wire, D is the weld depth of a single-layer weld with filler wire, F is the weld mark for no cracks (False), and T is the weld mark for cracks (Ture). It can be seen that when the depth-to-width ratio of a single-layer weld is 0.72~1.24, weld cracks will occur.

[0111] Example 2

[0112] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that the laser power in step (3) of this embodiment is 4200 W, and the remaining steps and parameters are the same as those of embodiment 1. The depth-to-width ratio of the single-layer weld in this embodiment is 1.07.

[0113] Figure 6 This is the front weld morphology of the preliminary weld plate of Example 1. Figure 7 This is the back weld morphology of the preliminary welded plate of Example 1. Figure 8 This is a morphology image of the last weld of the filling welding in step (3) of Example 1. Fig. 9 The weld after the cover welding in step (4) of Example 1, Fig.10 This is a nondestructive testing result diagram of the weld after the cap welding of Example 1. Fig.11 This is a metallographic image of the overall weld after cover welding in Example 1.

[0114] Fig.12(a) is a morphology diagram of the 4th filled weld in Example 1, (b) is a nondestructive testing result diagram of the 4th filled weld in Example 1, and (c) is a metallographic diagram of the 4th filled weld in Example 1. Fig.13 (a) is a morphology diagram of the 4th filled weld in Example 2, (b) is a nondestructive testing result diagram of the 4th filled weld in Example 2, and (c) is a metallographic diagram of the filled weld in Example 2.

[0115] It can be seen that when the laser power is 4200W, no obvious cracks are found in the weld. However, a black equiaxed crystal structure appears in the center of the weld. After comparing it with the metallographic picture of the welding wire, it is found that it is actually an incompletely melted welding wire. This unmelted welding wire shrinks in the surrounding welding wire solution due to the solidification and crystallization of the surrounding solution. The unmelted welding wire cannot compensate for the shrinkage, resulting in shrinkage defects in the weld. The same equiaxed crystal welding wire structure can be obtained in the metallographic microscope, and continuous dot-shaped line defects can be obtained in ultrasonic and radiographic nondestructive testing. When the power reaches 4500W, such defects disappear in metallographic and nondestructive testing.

[0116] Comparative Example 1

[0117] The difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that in this comparative example, the laser power of step (3) is 5800 W, and the remaining steps and parameters are the same as those of Example 1. The depth-to-width ratio of the single-layer weld in this comparative example is 1.09.

[0118] Fig.14 It can be seen that obvious cracks appear in the weld.

[0119] Example 3

[0120] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that in step (3) of this embodiment, the oscillation frequency of the 1st to 5th welds of laser wire welding is 100 Hz, and the oscillation frequency of the 6th weld is 350 Hz. The remaining steps and parameters are the same as those in embodiment 1.

[0121] Fig.15 The morphology of the 5th layer weld is shown. Fig.16 This is the morphology of the 6th weld. It can be seen that there are a large number of pores in the 4th and 5th welds, but there are no pores in the 6th weld.

[0122] Example 4

[0123] The difference between this embodiment and embodiment 1 is that in step (3) of this embodiment, the front shielding gas flow rate is 100 L / min, and the remaining steps and parameters are the same as those in embodiment 1.

[0124] Fig.17The morphology of the overall weld after the cap welding of Example 4 is shown. It can be seen that there are many pores in the weld. When the front shielding gas flow rate is 70L / min, Fig.11 It can be seen that there are no pores in the weld.

[0134] High temperature welding mechanical test results are as follows Fig.19As shown in Figure and Table 3.
