Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of metallurgy, and in particular to a slag filling method and a slag filling device for electroslag fusion welding. Background Art
[0002] With the continuous and in-depth development of my country's industrial modernization, the demand for heavy equipment in all walks of life is increasing, especially in the field of high-end manufacturing, the demand for heavy equipment made of high-quality special steel is more urgent. Among them, the large-scale equipment has become a core concern, which requires the material to not only have excellent properties such as high strength and high toughness, but also meet the manufacturing requirements of large sizes. Therefore, electroslag fusion welding technology came into being. This technology uses plate-type consumable electrodes and an appropriate amount of slag to fuse and weld two or more small-sized electroslag parts under a precisely controlled welding spacing, thereby "joining" them into a large-sized electroslag product. The advantage of this technology is that it not only meets the needs of large-scale production, but also effectively inherits the excellent properties of small-sized electroslag products through the secondary manufacturing process, such as high strength, high toughness, good corrosion resistance and precise size control. In addition, compared with integral forging, electroslag fusion welding technology greatly reduces the generation of metal waste, improves resource utilization, reduces production costs, and also shortens the production cycle and improves production efficiency.
[0003] In the current electroslag fusion welding, during the welding process of the plate consumable electrode and the welded parts, since the two are made of the same material, the slag pool will melt and extend to the inside of the welded parts during welding. As the welding process continues, the horizontal cross-sectional area of the slag pool will gradually increase, while the depth of the slag pool will decrease accordingly, and the shape of the slag pool will gradually change from deep and narrow to shallow and wide. The above-mentioned morphological changes of the slag pool not only increase the risk of the welded parts being melted through in the horizontal direction, but also expand the affected area of the weld, which will lead to deformation of the welded parts and uneven mechanical properties.
[0004] And because the width of the molten welding pool is relatively narrow and the total amount of slag is limited, as the slag pool melts and extends to the inside of the welded parts, its horizontal cross-sectional area continues to increase, while the depth of the slag pool continues to decrease, resulting in the adjustment space of the movement position of the consumable electrode in the slag pool becoming increasingly limited. And because the electroslag fusion welding technology usually adopts the constant power control method, the current fluctuation amplitude in this process is large. This technology changes the resistance value in the closed loop by adjusting the immersion depth of the consumable electrode in the slag pool, and its working principle is similar to that of a sliding rheostat. Therefore, during the fusion welding process, the movement position of the consumable electrode and its immersion depth will also fluctuate greatly. As the electroslag fusion welding proceeds, on the one hand, the slag pool depth continues to decrease, and on the other hand, the electrode immersion depth fluctuates greatly. The combined effect of these two factors will produce a greater risk of short circuit.
[0005] To this end, the present application provides a slag filling method and a slag filling device for electroslag fusion welding. Summary of the invention
[0006] In view of the above-mentioned shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides a slag filling method and a slag filling device for electroslag fusion welding, thereby solving the technical problems of deformation and uneven mechanical properties of fusion welding parts, as well as the risk of short circuit caused by the continuous decrease in slag pool depth and large fluctuations in electrode immersion depth during the fusion welding process between the plate-type consumable electrode and the fusion welding parts.

[0008] S3: comparing the first electrode melting speed or the second electrode melting speed with the rated electrode melting speed. When the first electrode melting speed or the second electrode melting speed is greater than or equal to the preset electrode melting speed, the computer is automatically controlled to close the slag feeder, so that the slag pool depth becomes shallower, the electrode immersion depth is reduced, and the electrode melting speed is further reduced. The third electrode melting speed is obtained by the automatic weighing device.

[0009] S4: comparing the melting speed of the third electrode or the melting speed of the fourth electrode with the rated electrode melting speed. When the melting speed of the third electrode or the melting speed of the fourth electrode is within the range of 95% to 105% of the rated electrode melting speed, the melting speed of the third electrode or the melting speed of the fourth electrode is within the normal fluctuation range of the rated electrode melting speed, and the electrode melting speed is constant. When the third electrode melting speed or the fourth electrode melting speed is outside the range of 95% to 105% of the rated electrode melting speed, steps S3 and S4 are repeated until the third electrode melting speed or the fourth electrode melting speed is equal to the rated electrode melting speed, thereby achieving a constant electrode melting speed.

[0018] Furthermore, since the electrode melting rate is ensured to be equal to the rated electrode melting rate, that is, constant melting rate control is achieved, the total welding time can be increased or shortened by adjusting the rated electrode melting rate, and the heat transferred from the slag pool to the molten welding part can be regulated, thereby controlling the horizontal melting depth of the cross-section of the molten welding part and the volume of the molten welding affected area, thereby avoiding deformation of the molten welding part due to excessive horizontal melting depth of the cross-section, and making the mechanical properties inside the molten welding part more uniform, thereby ultimately improving the quality of electroslag fusion welding.
[0019] Furthermore, the slag filling method and slag filling device of the present invention can control the slag pool depth by continuous slag filling, adjust the electrode melting rate, increase or shorten the total welding time, and regulate the heat transferred from the slag pool to the molten welding parts, thereby controlling the horizontal melting depth of the cross-section of the molten welding parts to remain stable, breaking through the welding height limitation under the conventional constant power control strategy, and realizing electroslag fusion welding of parts with larger geometric dimensions.
[0020] Furthermore, the slag feeding device sets an electric limit device and cooperates with the automatic weighing device to enable the automatic control computer to obtain the maximum metal immersion depth and the preset maximum metal immersion depth. By comparing the results of the two, it is determined whether to start the electric limit device, and the plate-type consumable electrode is driven to move upward or downward through the electrode lifting device, ensuring the stability of the maximum metal immersion depth. This setting effectively avoids the contact between the plate-type consumable electrode and the metal surface of the slag pool, eliminates the risk of short circuit in the electroslag fusion welding process, and improves the safety of the fusion welding system.

[0037] S525: Because liquid metal is also a good conductor, the maximum metal droplet height must be considered when considering the short circuit risk during electroslag welding. Based on the current electrode immersion depth and the corresponding electrode melting rate, the corresponding maximum metal droplet height is calculated using the numerical simulation software ANSYS-Fluent under the working condition parameters given in Table 1.

The statistically obtained maximum metal droplet height is 0.013m. Combined with the electrode immersion depth, when the electrode immersion depth is 0.020m, the preset maximum metal immersion depth of the slag feeding device of the electroslag fusion welding is 0.033m, that is, the preset maximum immersion depth of the good conductor including the plate consumable electrode 4 and the metal droplet in the slag pool 8 is 0.033m.

[0042] Since the position fluctuation of the plate consumable electrode 4 is inevitable due to feedback control delay and other reasons during the electroslag fusion welding process, in order to ensure the normal progress of the welding process and prevent the electric limit device 2 from being started too frequently, it is necessary to set a safety factor C as a control margin. The safety factor C is set in the range of 1.1 to 1.3. In the actual production process, the safety factor C can be adjusted according to the initial slag amount and the start and stop state of the electric limit device 2. The corrected preset maximum metal immersion depth is compared with the maximum metal immersion depth obtained by monitoring and calculation during the welding process. Make comparisons; When the maximum metal immersion depth is greater than or equal to 110% to 130% of the preset maximum metal immersion depth, the electrode limit device 2 is started, and the automatic control computer 11 controls the electrode lifting device 1 to prevent the plate-type consumable electrode 4 from moving downward, thereby reducing the rated welding current and the rated electrode melting speed. If the fusion welding component 7 has not completed the electroslag fusion welding, steps S2 to S5 are repeated until the fusion welding component 7 completes the electroslag fusion welding. When the maximum metal immersion depth is less than 110%-130% of the preset maximum metal immersion depth, the automatic control computer 11 controls the plate-type consumable electrode 4 to continue to move downward until the electroslag fusion welding of the fusion welding component 7 is completed.
[0043] ; in, is the maximum metal immersion depth, in m; h p is the preset electrode immersion depth, in m; h d is the maximum metal droplet height, in m; h p + h d ) is the preset maximum metal immersion depth, in m; C is the safety factor; C is 1.1, ( h p + h d) is 0.044m, then 0.05015m>0.0484m, the electrode limit device 2 is started to prevent the plate-type consumable electrode 4 from moving downward.
[0044] In the actual process of electroslag fusion welding, it is necessary to repeat multiple steps S2 to S5 until the two fusion welding parts 7 are welded. The specific number of repetitions depends on the actual welding situation and will not be repeated here.
[0045] It can be seen from the above embodiments that: (1) By automatically adjusting the lifting and lowering (e.g., ±2 mm displacement) and slag filling amount of the plate-type consumable electrode 4, the fluctuation of the welding current is controlled within the range of ±4% (e.g., 12500A to 12000A) of the rated value (e.g., 12000A), and the deviation of the electrode melting speed is limited to the range of ±5% (95% to 105% of the rated melting speed of 0.78304kg / s); (2) The electrode immersion depth (e.g., the preset value of 0.03 m) is calculated using the thermal balance relationship, and the maximum metal immersion depth (e.g., 0.05015 m) is dynamically calculated in combination with the safety factor (1.1-1.3). When the maximum metal immersion depth exceeds the safety value (0.0484), the electrode limit device 2 is activated to prevent the plate-type consumable electrode 4 from moving downward, thereby eliminating the risk of short circuit. (3) The slag feeding device of this embodiment adjusts the depth of the slag pool 8, reduces the horizontal extension of the slag pool 8, reduces the horizontal melting depth of the fusion welding component 7, and improves the uniformity of the mechanical properties; (4) In the prior art, constant power control is used, so the inner side of the molten welding part 7 is continuously melted, causing the slag pool 8 to extend to both sides, and the depth of the slag pool 8 decreases. In order to maintain the rated power, the electrode immersion depth needs to be continuously reduced, resulting in a smaller and smaller electrode melting rate. The Joule heat generated in the slag pool 8 is mainly transferred to the molten welding parts 7 on both sides, causing the slag pool 8 to continuously extend to both sides until it melts through the molten welding part 7. Therefore, there is a welding height limit for the electroslag fusion welding under the constant power control strategy, and electroslag fusion welding that exceeds the height limit cannot be performed. The slag filling method of this embodiment can control the depth of the slag pool 8 by continuous slag filling, adjust the electrode melting rate, increase or shorten the total welding time, and regulate the heat transferred from the slag pool 8 to the molten welding part 7, thereby controlling the horizontal melting depth of the cross section of the molten welding part 7 to remain stable. Therefore, it is not limited by constant power, supports electroslag fusion welding of molten welding parts 7 of larger sizes (such as a height of more than 1m), and can be applied to the manufacture of high-precision large electroslag steel components.
