Gas turbine parts are primarily divided into three categories: casing components, blade components, and disk and shaft components. Casing components play a supporting and critical load-bearing role in the gas turbine, requiring them to withstand temperatures up to 1000°C and playing a crucial role in the overall shock and vibration resistance of the entire unit. The intake connecting pipe, a key component at the intake end of the gas turbine casing, is characterized by a large diameter, thin walls, and poor rigidity. Due to these characteristics, the central cylinder of the pipe must be welded in multiple sections. Traditional argon arc welding (TIAW) results in large weld volumes, prone to deformation at the weld seam, complex anti-deformation devices, and long welding cycles, resulting in a high risk of elliptical cylinders after welding.

Support points can be increased or decreased as needed to accommodate workpieces of different sizes and shapes.

[0080] Example 3:

[0082] The fixed core shaft 2 includes a shaft body 21, a rib plate 22, a clamping plate 23 and a connecting end 24. The bottom of the shaft body 21 is connected to the top of the clamping plate 23, and the clamping plate 23 is embedded in the bayonet 16. The clamping plate 23 is connected to the positioning plate 15 by a first bolt 18.

[0084] Example 4:

[0085] Example 4 is basically the same as Example 1, except that:

[0086] A method for using a pipe welding device, comprising the following steps:

[0087] Step 1: First, spot weld multiple first positioning plates 121 on the inner wall of the third cylinder 103 in the circumferential direction for assembling the first inner support ring 12. Then, install the lower flange, the third cylinder 103, and the first inner support ring 12 in order from bottom to top, and then tighten the first inner support ring 12 with the first bolts 18.

[0088] Step 2: First assemble the fixed core shaft 2, then position the fixed core shaft 2 through the third positioning stop 106 on the positioning seat 1 and fix it with the fixing bolt 11, then assemble the support seat 3, position it through the fifth positioning stop 108, and fix it with the fixing nut 10, then install the second cylinder 102 and the second inner support ring 34 in order from bottom to top, and tighten the second inner support ring 34 with the second bolt 4;

[0089] Step 3: Assemble the first cylinder 101 and the upper flange first, then assemble the core holder 2, position it through the fourth positioning stop 107, and then install the spring 7 and nut 8 in sequence to fix it. The upper flange and the core holder 2 are positioned through the first positioning stop 104 to ensure that the core holder 2 is concentric with the welding device, and the parts assembly is completed;

[0090] First, check the surface cleanliness of the weld and clean it again until no black spots can be seen when wiped with a white silk cloth, then measure the weld working distance;

[0091] Step 4. After the parts are assembled, hoist them onto the turntable of the electron beam welder. Clamp the parts with the three claws of the turntable. At the same time, use a screw to level the parts at the lower end of the positioning seat 1. Place the plastic ruler perpendicular to the annular seam of the workpiece and adjust the electron gun to move toward the workpiece until the bottom of the electron gun just touches the other end of the plastic ruler. Remove the plastic ruler and record the distance DT. At the same time, record the point coordinates X1, Y1, Z1...X4, Y4, Z4 in sequence. Repeat this operation to record the distance DT and X / Y / Z coordinate values ​​of the second annular seam B, the third annular seam C, and the fourth annular seam D.

[0092] Step 5: First set the vacuum degree of the workroom to 7*10-4mbar, then evacuate the workroom to the specified vacuum degree, then input the recorded point coordinates and perform tack welding on the annular seam. The tack welding sequence is to weld the annular seam from bottom to top first, and then perform symmetrical welding evenly along the circumference in the order of 1-6.

[0093] Step 6. After the positioning welding is completed, the formal welding is carried out. The turntable rotates around the C axis, the electron gun does not move, and welding starts from the starting point and proceeds in a clockwise direction. The arc length of the arc starting segment (OA segment) corresponds to an angle of 20° (corresponding to 0°-20°), and the arc length of the arc closing segment (AB segment) corresponds to an angle of 20° (corresponding to 380°-400°). Figure 10 As shown in Figure 2, the welding parameters are electron beam current I, surface current 2.5A, welding speed 800mm / min, acceleration voltage 50KV, as shown in Figure 2. Figure 11 As shown, the third annular seam C, the second annular seam B, and the first annular seam A are welded in sequence from bottom to top, and the electron beam welder is removed after welding is completed.

[0094] After welding, keep warm for 1 hour, open the vacuum chamber, lift the workpiece out of the workshop, remove the electron beam welding tooling, and then conduct a 100% visual inspection of the four circumferential seams. The welds are free of defects such as cracks, bite marks, and shrinkage cavities.
