Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of steel welding heat treatment, and in particular to a flexible ceramic heating sheet suitable for special-shaped pipe joints and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] In the field of pipeline welding, during the welding process, the weldment is locally heated to a very high temperature and then cooled rapidly. This uneven heating and cooling can cause thermal stress inside the weldment. Welding heat treatment can effectively reduce or eliminate these residual stresses, improve the performance and quality of the weldment, and thus improve the strength and toughness of the material. For some alloy steels, tempering treatment can adjust the hardness of the welded joint, improve the toughness and plasticity of the material, and optimize its comprehensive performance.
[0003] For welding at the construction site, due to the complex on-site environment, flexible ceramic heating plates are often used for welding heat treatment. The working principle is that the thermal resistance wire in the heating plate is energized and heated, and the heating plate uses heat conduction to keep the weld and the heat-affected zone at a higher temperature. This method is easy to construct and has strong adaptability. The specifications can be adjusted according to the diameter of the welding pipe.
[0004] However, traditional ceramic heating plates are rectangular sheet structures or cylindrical structures with 1-2 through holes in the length direction of the heating plates. The two types of heating plates are woven into a blanket structure or a rope structure using thermal resistance wire. The blanket structure has poor wrapping ability for special-shaped pipe fittings, and the rope structure has poor wrapping ability for spherical pipe fittings. Both structures have limitations and are basically only suitable for heat treatment of pipe butt welds.
[0005] The invention patent with the publication number CN107014206B discloses a forming method of a ceramic mesh inlaid furnace tube, wherein a ceramic clay embryo is applied inside a metal furnace tube, and the ceramic clay embryo is attached to the inner wall of the metal furnace tube with the support of a metal mesh structure, and is formed into a ceramic inner tube after being fired into porcelain; the metal mesh inlaid on the inner wall of the metal furnace tube is a tortoise shell mesh structure, and the tortoise shell mesh furnace tube can be applied on the inner wall to hang the ceramic clay embryo, and the ceramic inner tube can be fixed after the ceramic clay embryo is fired into porcelain. However, this structure can only be adapted to large-scale integral equipment with cavities for high-temperature kiln firing, and cannot be adjusted after the specifications are fixed. It can only be used for the heated parts to be placed in the cavity as a whole, and is not flexible. It is not suitable for special working conditions such as narrow space, high altitude, and adjacent to the parts to be heated and not heated. Moreover, the regular hexagonal metal mesh contained in it acts as a ceramic clay embryo skeleton to bear and shape the ceramic clay embryo skeleton. The finished equipment does not have a regular hexagonal structure, which is meaningless for the equipment to realize the heating function.
[0006] Therefore, it is necessary to provide a ceramic heating suitable for special-shaped pipe structures and suitable for welding pipes of different configurations. Summary of the invention

[0018] (5) Wrap the complete heating sheet (4) around the part (part) to be heated (1), and tie the complete heating sheet (4) firmly with wire. The heating sheets must not overlap to prevent overheating. No leakage should be allowed to prevent uneven heating.
