[0029] A method for welding thick plates for container ships, wherein the thickness of the thick plates is at least 80 mm, the welding method comprising the following steps:

[0030] S1. Determine the steel grade of the thick plate: Determine the steel grade of the thick plate according to its location.

[0031] In this embodiment, the thick plates at the hatch coamings are made of EH47 steel, the thick plates at the main decks are made of EH40 steel, the thick plates at the shell plating are made of EH40, DH32 or AH32 steel, the thick plates at the longitudinal bulkheads are made of EH40, DH32 or AH32 steel, and the thick plates at the longitudinals are made of AH40, AH32 or HP300*12AH bulb flat steel.

[0032] S2. Determine the welding mode, welding material type and welding material grade: As shown in Table 1, determine the welding mode, welding material type and welding material grade based on the thick plate steel determined in S1.

[0033] Table 1:

[0034]

[0035] If the steel grades of the thick plates to be welded are EH47 and EH40 respectively, the welding method is CO2 gas shielded semi-automatic welding, CO2 automatic fillet welding machine or single-wire submerged arc automatic welding; if the steel grades of the thick plates to be welded are EH40 and AH40 respectively, the welding method is CO2 gas shielded semi-automatic welding or CO2 automatic fillet welding machine; if the steel grades of the thick plates to be welded are EH47 and EH40 respectively, the welding method is CO2 gas shielded semi-automatic welding, CO2 automatic fillet welding machine or single-wire submerged arc automatic welding; if the steel grades of the thick plates to be welded are EH47, EH40 and EH36 and below respectively, the welding method is CO2 gas shielded semi-automatic welding, CO2 automatic fillet welding machine or single-wire submerged arc automatic welding; if the steel grade of the thick plates to be welded is EH36 and below, the welding method is CO2 gas shielded semi-automatic welding, CO2 automatic fillet welding machine or single-wire submerged arc automatic welding.

[0036] S3. Determine the weld groove form according to the welding style: When the welding style is panel welding, the groove of the panel weld is as follows: Figure 1 The X-shaped double-sided asymmetric form is shown, with a front groove angle of 50-60° and a back groove angle of 70-80°. The root is 6mm and the root gap is 0-1mm. The welding method is submerged arc welding to prevent large deformation of the single-sided groove and reduce the amount of filling in the welding. When the welding style is fillet welding, the groove of the fillet weld is as follows: Figure 2 The figure shows a double-sided 45° K-type symmetrical groove with a root of 1 / 3t-1 / 2t, t is the thickness of the thick plate, the fillet welding is deep penetration welding, and the fillet welding areas are concentrated in the hatch coaming, longitudinal bulkhead and shell plate areas, during the welding stages of the small assembly, medium assembly and large assembly stages.

[0037] S4. Prepare before welding: clean the area around the groove to ensure that there is no rust, garbage or other dirt within 20mm of the two edges of the groove, preheat the thick plate, and perform positioning welding on the thick plate.

[0038] In this embodiment, the tack weld length is no less than 50 mm, and the spacing between tack welds is 300-500 mm. The welding consumables used for tack welds are of the same grade as those used for the main weld. If a tack weld contains a defect, the defective tack weld must be removed and re-tack welded. All EH47 steel plates must be preheated to above 100°C to ensure weld quality.

[0039] S5. Formal welding of thick plates: When welding the panels, weld the front weld first, then turn the panels over and clean the roots with carbon planers. When cleaning the roots with carbon planers, make the bottom opening of the weld groove as large as possible, and weld the reverse side of the weld after polishing it. When using submerged arc automatic welding, install arc starting and arc ending plates between the starting and ending ends (i.e., the free ends). The thickness difference between the arc starting and arc ending plates of the panel weld and the weldment is plus or minus 2mm. The size of the arc starting and arc ending plates is 150×150mm. The arc starting length is not less than 80mm, and the arc extinction length is not less than 50mm. When using multi-pass and multi-layer welding, the welding should maintain continuity, the interlayer temperature should be above the preheating temperature, the welding slag and spatter should be removed after each weld, and the joints of each weld should be mutually Stagger at least 30 to 50 mm; when welding longitudinal bones, heat while welding, and an even number of welders weld on both sides of the longitudinal bones at the same time, and use the step-by-step back welding method or center welding for welding; when the component and the plate seam intersect, if there are both butt welds and fillet welds, weld the butt welds first, then weld the fillet welds, and weld the vertical fillet welds first and then the flat fillet welds; when the weld height of the plate affects the tight installation of the component, grind the weld height, and the grinding length should not be less than the component plate thickness, or open a through welding hole; fill the arc crater at the end of the weld, and the through welding hole or leak-proof hole has a good wrap angle; if the wind speed is greater than 2 meters per second during outdoor welding, windproof measures need to be taken around the weld, and do not weld in the open air when it rains.

[0040] The choice of welding wire diameter significantly impacts both welding quality and production efficiency, often creating a conflict between these two. Excessive wire diameter and heat input can affect the weld and the internal structure of the base material. To improve production efficiency, a wire with a larger diameter should be selected. However, excessively thick wire can result in incomplete penetration or poor weld formation. In this embodiment, in S5, a 1.2 mm diameter wire is selected for CO2 gas shielded welding, citing its superior performance, more even heat input, and higher production efficiency. During submerged arc welding, a 4.0 mm diameter wire is selected to ensure the performance of the weld and heat-affected zone.

[0041] In this embodiment, the formal welding of thick plates also includes the selection of welding parameters as shown in Table 2: the welding current has a great influence on the quality and efficiency of welding. The number of layers of ultra-thick plates welded in the torsion box is very large. In order to ensure the quality of the back weld, during the bottom welding: in the process of flat welding using submerged arc welding, the welding current is 600-700A; in the process of vertical welding using carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, the welding current is 230-260A; in the process of horizontal welding using carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, the welding current is 180-210A; in the process of overhead welding using carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, the welding current is 210-240A.

[0042] In order to improve efficiency and ensure good fusion, when welding the filler weld: in the process of submerged arc welding, the welding current is 610-710A; in the process of vertical welding with carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, the welding current is 235-265A; in the process of horizontal welding with carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, the welding current is 180-210A; in the process of overhead welding with carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, the welding current is 210-240A.

[0043] In order to prevent undercuts and ensure beautiful weld formation, when welding the cover weld: in the process of submerged arc welding, the welding current is 600-690A; in the process of vertical welding using carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, the welding current is 210-240A; in the process of horizontal welding using carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, the welding current is 175-205A; in the process of overhead welding using carbon dioxide gas shielded welding, the welding current is 205-235A.

[0044] During CO2 gas shielded welding, excessive voltage or excessive arc duration can lead to unstable arc combustion, increased metal spatter, and defects such as porosity. In this embodiment, the voltage during CO2 gas shielded welding is controlled between 25-36V. Welding speed refers to the speed at which the welding wire moves along the welding direction during welding, i.e., the length of the weld completed per unit time. Because the base metal has a strong tendency to harden, welding speed directly determines the amount of heat input. When using multiple passes in CO2 gas shielded welding, the oscillation width of each weld should be controlled within 10 times the wire diameter, and the welding speed should be controlled between 440-550 mm / min. When using multiple passes in submerged arc welding, the welding speed should be controlled between 450-550 mm / min. The number and thickness of weld layers: For high-strength steel, the thickness of each weld layer affects the microstructure and mechanical properties. When welding thick plates, a small number of weld layers and excessive weld thickness can lead to decreased plasticity and toughness of the weld joint due to grain coarsening. If steel of the same thickness is welded using multiple passes or multiple layers, the weld joint microstructure becomes significantly finer and the heat-affected zone narrower. The previous weld preheats the subsequent weld, while the subsequent weld heat treats the previous weld, resulting in relatively good joint plasticity and toughness. To ensure the structural properties of the joint, the thickness of each weld layer should be controlled between 3-5mm when multiple welds are used. The interpass temperature should not be too high, as this will burn away beneficial metals in the weld and reduce its structural properties. The interpass temperature should be kept below 250°C throughout the welding process.

[0045] Table 2:

[0046]

[0047]

[0048] S5 also includes the welding sequence principle: longer butt joints should generally be welded from the middle to both ends; when butt welds and fillet welds exist in a component at the same time, the butt welds should be welded first and then the fillet welds; welds that will not form rigid constraints on the shrinkage of other welds should be welded first, and then the constraint welds should be welded. Weld the main components first, then the secondary components; keep one end of each weld to have room for free contraction when welding; because the lateral contraction of the weld is greater than the longitudinal contraction, weld the end joint first, then the side joint, and finally the flush transverse joint when welding the plate row; when welding the skeleton and the plate seam, the plate seam should be welded first, then the butt joint between the skeletons, and finally the corner joint between the skeleton and the plate; the welding of the segments should be done symmetrically by multiple people, starting from the center of the segment and expanding to the surrounding areas; when welding the large closed joints of the total segment, a symmetrical welding sequence should be adopted to make both sides of the neutral axis shrink evenly; vigorously promote high-efficiency welding, reduce welding stress and deformation such as CO2 gas shielded welding, vertical automatic welding, submerged arc automatic welding, argon arc welding, etc.; control the welding line energy, and the fillet welds are strictly carried out according to the specification table, and exceeding the standard is not allowed. High current, thick diameter electrodes and arc pulling and arc jumping welding methods are prohibited, and flat fillet welds are not allowed to be excessively biased towards the plate.

[0049] Finally, it should be noted that the above embodiments are only used to illustrate the technical solutions of the present invention and are not intended to limit the present invention. Although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to preferred embodiments, ordinary technicians in the field should understand that the specific implementation methods of the invention can still be modified or some technical features can be replaced by equivalents without departing from the spirit of the technical solutions of the present invention. They should all be included in the scope of the technical solutions for which protection is sought in the present invention.

7. The welding method according to claim 1, wherein: In the S5, the voltage is controlled at 25-36V during carbon dioxide gas shielded welding. When carbon dioxide gas shielded welding uses multi-layer welds, the swing width of each weld is controlled within 10 times the wire diameter, and the welding speed is controlled between 440-550mm / min. When submerged arc welding uses multi-layer welds, the welding speed is controlled between 450-550mm / min. When there are multi-layer welds, the thickness of each weld layer is controlled between 3-5mm. During the entire welding process, the interlayer temperature is below 250°C.

8. The welding method according to claim 1, wherein: S5 also includes the principles of welding sequence: longer butt welds should generally be welded from the middle to both ends; when butt welds and fillet welds exist in a component at the same time, the butt welds should be welded first and then the fillet welds; welds that do not form rigid constraints on the shrinkage of other welds should be welded first, then the constraint welds, and the main components should be welded first and then the secondary components; when welding each weld, keep one end of it with room for free shrinkage; because the lateral shrinkage of the weld is greater than the longitudinal shrinkage, when welding the plate row, the end joints should be welded first, then the side joints, and finally the flush transverse joints; when welding the frame and the plate seam, the plate seam should be welded first, then the butt welds between the frames, and finally the fillet joints between the frame and the plate; the welding of segments should be done symmetrically by multiple people, starting from the center of the segment and expanding to the surrounding areas; when welding the large closing seam of the total segment, a symmetrical welding sequence should be adopted to ensure uniform shrinkage on both sides of the neutral axis; flat fillet welds are not allowed to be excessively biased towards the plate.
