Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of welding technology, and particularly to a highly corrosion-resistant flux-cored wire and a preparation method thereof. Background Art
[0002] With the development of offshore oil engineering towards deep water areas, large offshore steel structures are increasing day by day, and the welding of thick steel structures has become the focus of research. DH36 steel is a low-alloy high-strength marine steel. This steel type is based on low-carbon steel and is added with various alloying elements such as niobium, manganese, nickel, and titanium that can improve the low-temperature impact toughness and strength of the steel. It has the advantages of high fatigue strength, low carbon equivalent, excellent weldability, and good processing and forming performance, and has become the mainstream material for welding thick steel structures, being widely used in modern ships and offshore engineering. However, on steel structure ships mainly made of DH36 steel, due to continuous immersion and perfusion of seawater, rust spots often appear at the welds of the hull. Over time, the welds will be continuously corroded, damaging the welded structure. Since the welded structure is usually an important load-bearing structure, the corrosion of the welds will ultimately cause the entire equipment to not be able to be used normally. If the weld corrosion is not discovered in time and no corresponding repair measures are taken, it is easy to lead to structural failure, equipment failure, and even accidents such as explosion and leakage, posing a great potential threat to people's lives and property safety. It is urgent to solve the problem of weld joint corrosion of marine steel.
[0003] Patent CN108788516A discloses a nickel-chromium-molybdenum-tungsten-based nickel-based flux-cored wire, which includes a nickel-based alloy steel strip and a flux powder filled in the nickel-based alloy steel strip. The mass percentage composition of the flux powder is as follows: 15-20% of metal chromium powder, 27-32% of metal nickel powder, 1.5-3% of metal manganese powder, 10-15% of rutile, 0.5-1.5% of ferrotitanium, 3-6% of feldspar, 2-4% of quartz, 1-2.5% of rare earth fluoride, 1-3% of cryolite, 4-7% of ferrotungsten, 13-16% of ferromolybdenum, 0.4-0.7% of ferrovanadium, 1-3% of calcium fluoride, and the rest is iron powder.
[0004] Patent CN114083177B discloses a flux-cored wire for surfacing of composite carbide strengthened nickel-based alloy, which includes an outer metal sheath and an inner flux core. The flux core is composed of the following components by weight: tungsten carbide 25-40%, titanium carbide 20-35%, Ni-Cr-B-Si alloy powder 20-30%, metallic manganese 1-3%, and the balance is nickel powder. Nickel serves as a bonding matrix, and tungsten carbide and titanium carbide act as composite carbides to play a strengthening role, improving the wear resistance and corrosion resistance of the nickel alloy. The addition of ferrotungsten and composite carbide ceramic particles can improve the performance of the nickel-based flux-cored wire, but the additives cannot effectively change the dislocations of the material and are difficult to improve the high-temperature strength of the alloy; moreover, the additives are unevenly dispersed in the metal matrix and are prone to agglomeration, hindering the further improvement of the performance of the nickel-based flux-cored wire.
[0005] As a welding material, the flux-cored wire has the characteristic of flexible use. By adding different elements to the flux core, there is an urgent need for a solder at present to improve its corrosion resistance so that it is suitable for special fields such as the ocean and chemical plants. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To solve the above problems, the present invention provides a highly corrosion-resistant flux-cored wire and its preparation method. The highly corrosion-resistant flux-cored wire of the present invention has significant advantages in terms of corrosion resistance, welding processability, and mechanical properties through the optimization of the flux core composition, the introduction of microcapsule complexes, and the synergistic effect of rare earths. The preparation method of the present invention includes mixing the flux core raw materials and filling them into a steel strip, and then performing rolling and drawing. The process flow is relatively simple and easy for industrial production.
[0007] The technical solution adopted by the present invention to achieve the above purpose is as follows:
[0008] A highly corrosion-resistant flux-cored wire, the flux core includes the following components by weight: 20-30 parts of chromium iron powder, 5-10 parts of nickel powder, 3-8 parts of molybdenum iron powder, 15-25 parts of rutile, 5-10 parts of calcium fluoride, 3-7 parts of forsterite, 0.5-1.5 parts of microcapsule complex, 0.8-2 parts of rare earth complex, and 35-48 parts by weight of iron powder; the preparation method of the microcapsule complex includes the following steps:
[0009] Step 1, mix benzotriazole and ammonium molybdate according to a mass ratio of 7-8.5:1.5-3, add them to an aqueous solution of ethanol, and stir and dissolve at 40-60 °C to obtain a homogeneous and transparent solution;
[0010] Step 2: Mix tetraethyl orthosilicate with hydrochloric acid solution, adjust the pH to 1.5 - 2.5, react at 35 - 45 °C for 3 - 5 hours to form a silica sol; drop the transparent solution obtained in Step 1 into the silica sol, control the dropping rate at 1 - 2 mL / min, continue stirring for 2 - 3 hours to form a suspension, perform centrifugal separation, wash with deionized water 3 times, and dry in vacuum at 50 - 60 °C to obtain a microcapsule precursor;
[0011] Step 3: Mix zirconium oxychloride, tetraethyl orthosilicate and yttrium oxide nanopowder in a mass ratio of 3 - 5:5 - 7:1 - 3, add deionized water, adjust the pH to 9 - 10 with ammonia water, react at 57 - 63 °C for 5.5 - 6.5 hours to form a composite sol, disperse the microcapsule precursor obtained in Step 2 in the composite sol, and perform ultrasonic treatment for 10 - 20 minutes; slowly heat up to 70 - 80 °C, continuously stir for 4 - 6 hours to deposit zirconium oxide - silica composite on the surface of the microcapsule precursor, perform centrifugal separation, wash with absolute ethanol, and dry in vacuum at 60 - 80 °C to obtain the product.
[0012] Further, in Step 1, the mass ratio of benzotriazole to ammonium molybdate is 7 - 8.5:1.5 - 3, and the weight - volume ratio of benzotriazole to ethanol aqueous solution is 1 g:10 - 15 mL.
[0013] Further, in Step 2, the mass ratio of the transparent solution obtained in Step 1 to the silica sol is 1:2 - 4, the volume ratio of tetraethyl orthosilicate to hydrochloric acid solution is 1:0.5 - 1, and the concentration of the hydrochloric acid solution is 0.1 - 0.2 mol / L.
[0014] Further, in Step 3, the weight - volume ratio of zirconium oxychloride to deionized water is 1 g:5 - 6 mL, the mass ratio of zirconium oxychloride, tetraethyl orthosilicate and yttrium oxide nanopowder is 4 - 6:5 - 7:1 - 3, and the mass - volume ratio of the microcapsule precursor obtained in Step 2 to the sol is 1 g:8 - 12 mL.
[0015] Further, sieve the microcapsule composite after drying in Step 3, take the particles with a particle size of 15 - 25 microns, and perform heat treatment at 500 - 600 °C for 1 - 2 hours in an argon atmosphere.
[0016] The design of the above microcapsule complex realizes the intelligent controlled release, high-temperature stability, and welding adaptability of the corrosion inhibitor through multi-level coating and the synergy of functional components. Among them, the inner layer of SiO2 coats benzotriazole and ammonium molybdate by the sol-gel method to form a porous network structure, initially isolating the corrosion inhibitor from the external environment. The outer layer forms a dense shell layer through the deposition of composite sol, further improving the thermal stability and mechanical strength. ZrO2 and Y2O3 in the outer shell can withstand the instantaneous high temperature of the welding arc (>1000 °C) to prevent premature rupture of the microcapsules. The stabilizing effect of Y2O3 can inhibit the high-temperature phase transformation of ZrO2 and reduce the risk of thermal stress cracking. In the corrosion environment, SiO2 (acid-soluble) and ZrO2 (Cl⁻-sensitive) in the shell layer selectively dissolve or crack to release the corrosion inhibitor. Among them, benzotriazole adsorbs to form a film, and ammonium molybdate generates MoO4²⁻ to repair the passive film. By controlling the shell layer thickness and porosity, the gradient release of the corrosion inhibitor is achieved, avoiding depletion at one time. Benzotriazole can form a stable complex with ions on the metal surface to generate a dense protective film, thereby preventing the corrosion medium from contacting the metal surface. Benzotriazole also has good antioxidant properties and can scavenge free radicals in chemical reactions to prevent the oxidation of the metal surface. Ammonium molybdate can form a protective film on the metal surface to prevent metal corrosion and can act synergistically with benzotriazole to enhance the stability and density of the protective film. Benzotriazole and ammonium molybdate, through their respective action mechanisms and synergistic effects in the microcapsule complex, jointly improve the corrosion resistance and welding performance of the flux-cored wire. The microcapsule structure controls the release rate of benzotriazole and ammonium molybdate, enabling them to continuously play a role during the welding process and extending the protection time.
[0017] Further, the rare earth complex is La2O3:Y2O3:CeO2 with a weight ratio of 3:2:1.
[0018] The preparation method of the above high-corrosion-resistant flux-cored wire is specifically as follows: After weighing the above flux-cored raw material components in proportion and mixing them evenly, the low-carbon steel strip is rolled into a U shape, the evenly mixed flux-cored raw materials are filled into the U-shaped groove, sealed and rolled into an O shape, and then drawn to make the flux-cored wire.
[0019] Further, benzotriazole in the microcapsule complex is replaced with a mixture of benzotriazole and modified benzotriazole with a weight ratio of 3 - 5:1.
[0020] The preparation method of the modified benzotriazole includes the following steps:
[0021] Step a: Add benzotriazole and sodium hydroxide (sodium hydroxide with a concentration of 10%) into ethanol, stir to obtain a mixed solution, then dropwise add chloroacetic acid or bromoacetic acid, reflux and react at 60 - 80 °C for 4 - 8 hours, adjust the pH to 2 - 4 with 0.1 mol / L hydrochloric acid, precipitate is formed, and after centrifugation, washing and drying, carboxylated benzotriazole is obtained; wherein, the molar ratio of benzotriazole to chloroacetic acid or bromoacetic acid is 1:1.0 - 1.5, the molar ratio of benzotriazole to sodium hydroxide is 1:2 - 2.5, and the mass - volume ratio of benzotriazole to ethanol is 1 g:15 - 20 mL;
[0022] Step b: Dissolve the carboxylated benzotriazole prepared in step a in water, adjust the pH to 5 - 7, add copper chloride, stir and react at 20 - 40 °C for 1 - 3 hours. After the reaction is completed, concentrate the solution and add an alcohol solvent to precipitate, centrifuge, and vacuum - dry at 40 °C to constant weight to obtain the product; wherein, the molar ratio of carboxylated benzotriazole to copper chloride is (1.8 - 2.2):1, the weight - volume ratio of carboxylated benzotriazole to water is 1 g:10 - 20 mL, the dosage of the alcohol solvent is 1 - 3 times the total volume of the concentrated solution, and the alcohol solvent is ethanol, methanol or isopropanol; the pH adjustment is carried out using 10% sodium hydroxide solution.
[0023] The above - mentioned modified benzotriazole enhances the binding force with the metal matrix through carboxyl adsorption, forming a denser protective film. Copper promotes the formation of a Cu2O / CuO passivation layer on the weld surface, filling the defects of the Cr2O3 film; in an acidic environment (such as a local corrosion area), the carboxyl group of the modified benzotriazole is protonated, accelerating dissociation and releasing active components; while in a neutral condition, it slowly releases. At the same time, the -COO⁻ therein can form weak coordination bonds with Zr 4 ⁺ on the surface of the ZrO2 shell, enhancing the dispersibility of the corrosion inhibitor in the shell and reducing the volatilization loss of benzotriazole during high - temperature welding. Unmodified benzotriazole rapidly adsorbs and forms a film at the initial stage of welding, while the modified benzotriazole continuously releases active components in the later corrosion environment. The synergistic adsorption of Cu²⁺ and benzotriazole can dynamically repair local film breakage, and Cu²⁺ reacts with S²⁻ in the weld to form CuS precipitate, inhibiting sulfur - induced cracking.
[0024] The present invention has the following beneficial effects:
[0025] The high corrosion-resistant flux-cored wire of the present invention has significant advantages in terms of corrosion resistance, welding processability, and mechanical properties through the optimization of the flux composition, the introduction of microcapsule composites, and the synergistic effect of rare earths. Among them, chromium forms a dense Cr2O3 passivation film in the welding molten pool, improving the substrate's resistance to pitting and general corrosion (especially in acidic or chloride environments). Nickel stabilizes the austenite structure and reduces the tendency of intergranular corrosion. Molybdenum enhances the resistance to local corrosion (such as crevice corrosion), especially synergistically with chromium in a Cl⁻-containing environment. Rare earth oxides refine the weld grain, purify the grain boundary (adsorb impurities), and reduce the formation of electrochemical corrosion microcells; CeO2 can promote the self-healing ability of the passivation film. Benzotriazole (BTA), as an organic corrosion inhibitor, forms a protective film by adsorbing on the metal surface. After ammonium molybdate decomposes, MoO4²⁻ is generated, which forms an insoluble compound with Fe²⁺, plugging the corrosion micropores. By wrapping the corrosion inhibitor with a silica / zirconia composite shell, a gradual release at high welding temperatures is achieved (the shell decomposes controllably at the high temperature of the arc), prolonging the action time of the corrosion inhibitor. The yttrium oxide (Y2O3)-doped shell enhances the thermal stability and avoids premature failure of the corrosion inhibitor. Rutile (TiO2) improves the arc stability, reduces spatter, and forms short slag (easy to remove slag); CaF2 reduces the melting point of the slag, improves the fluidity, and at the same time reacts with SiO2 to generate low-fluoride gases, inhibiting porosity. Forsterite adjusts the slag viscosity and surface tension, reducing weld slag inclusion defects. The rare earth composite can also improve the strength and toughness of the weld by inhibiting grain growth and promoting the formation of acicular ferrite. In a corrosive environment, benzotriazole inhibits the initial corrosion, and yttrium oxide and cerium oxide long-term stably passivate the film, forming a double protection. The two work synergistically to jointly improve the anti-corrosion performance. The zirconia-silica composite shell matches the thermal expansion coefficient with the substrate during the cooling process, and can also reduce the welding residual stress and the crack sensitivity. When the weld is exposed to a corrosive environment, the shell gradually releases the corrosion inhibitor due to changes in pH or Cl⁻ concentration, achieving long-term protection. Heat treatment in an argon atmosphere (200 - 250 °C) further stabilizes the microcapsule structure and avoids premature decomposition caused by high welding temperatures. The flux-cored wire of the present invention forms a weld with long-term corrosion resistance, less spatter, low porosity, high strength, good toughness, and good comprehensive performance, and is especially suitable for harsh environments such as the ocean and chemical industry.

[0078] As can be seen from the above table, for the microcapsule composite of the present invention, the combination of benzotriazole and ammonium molybdate is adopted. Through their respective action mechanisms and synergistic effects, the corrosion resistance and welding performance of the flux cored wire are jointly improved. At the same time, unmodified benzotriazole adsorbs and forms a film rapidly in the initial stage of welding, and the modified benzotriazole continuously releases active components in the later corrosion environment. The combination of the two further improves the corrosion resistance and other comprehensive properties.
