Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of pipe mold remanufacturing, and particularly relates to a pipe mold submerged arc welding remanufacturing method and system for improving thermal fatigue performance. BACKGROUND

[0002] The centrifugal cast iron pipe mold, referred to as a "pipe mold" for short, is made of 21crmo10 steel, which is a kind of hot work die steel. The pipe mold is a key component for casting cast iron pipes on a centrifugal casting machine and is a consumable mold with a large demand.

[0003] Thermal fatigue is the main failure mode of the pipe mold. Due to the harsh service environment, the molten iron (1300-1450℃) is applied to the inner wall of the pipe mold due to the centrifugal effect, causing the temperature of the inner wall of the pipe mold to rise sharply, while the outer surface is cooled by circulating water to reduce the temperature. The change in temperature causes the alternating change of stress, and after a period of service, thermal fatigue will occur, eventually forming a large area of cracks, especially at the pipe mold spout end, which bears the most molten iron and is the most serious crack area. If the cracks are not treated, not only will cracks occur, but even local fractures may occur, causing the molten iron to leak and splash, which is very dangerous. During service, the pipe mold is repeatedly affected by rapid heating and rapid cooling, and when the limit thermal stress or external force impact is exceeded, irreversible plastic deformation will occur. After the molten iron in the pipe mold cools and solidifies, the centrifugal cast iron pipe (cast pipe) is formed. When the draw tool pulls out the cast pipe from the mold, wear phenomena are prone to occur, and long-term use without maintenance will cause serious scratches and wear. During the production of ductile cast iron pipes, the pipe mold, as a key tooling mold, is subjected to the alternating action of high-temperature molten iron and cooling water for a long time, resulting in thermal fatigue cracks on the inner wall. In the prior art, the pipe mold develops thermal fatigue cracks on the inner wall due to rapid heating and cooling during the centrifugal casting process. After traditional submerged arc welding repair, the pipe mold can only produce 150-200 cast pipes before failing. Currently, pipe mold repair mainly uses the following methods:

[0004] 1. Submerged arc welding technology: the current main technology for repairing pipe molds: that is, using submerged arc welding wire to repair layer by layer. Submerged arc welding has high efficiency and speed, and low cost compared with laser technology, but the welding layer is mostly coarse Widmanstatten structure, which can easily cause thermal fatigue cracks again under high temperature, rapid cooling and rapid heating conditions, reducing the fatigue resistance of the pipe mold and causing premature failure.

[0005] 2. Laser cladding technology: with the gradual maturity of laser technology, laser cladding repair technology has a higher and higher proportion in the repair market. It has good quality, highly dense material organization, almost no defects, and no complicated procedures, and does not require preheating before welding and high-temperature tempering after welding. However, the key to restricting its development is the high cost of equipment and the slow repair speed compared with submerged arc welding, which is relatively low in efficiency.

[0006] 3. A few departments use thermal spraying technology and manual electrode or wire surfacing, which cannot meet the requirements of national standards, industry standards and industrial use, and has been basically abandoned. The tube mold repair needs to meet the following performance. SUMMARY

[0061] And move the high-frequency induction heating module 2, so that the induction coil surrounds the outside of the tube mold 7 to be welded area (coil and tube mold outer wall distance 5-8 mm), connect the temperature sensor and calibrate (ensure the temperature measurement error ≤±5℃), and move the installation rack integrated with the welding gun 6, infrared thermometer 3 and laser scanner 5 to one end of the tube mold, adjust the height and angle of the installation rack, so that the welding gun 6 is aligned with the tube mold 7 inner wall to be welded starting position, the laser scanner 5 starts preheating scanning, and the initial curvature radius R of the tube mold 7 inner wall is obtained (as the basis for subsequent parameter adjustment), the molten pool monitoring 4 is started, the focal length of the high-definition camera is calibrated (ensure the molten pool image definition ≥1080P) and the voltage sensor (sampling frequency 1 kHz, error ≤±0.1V), and the standard parameters (such as molten pool length threshold 15 mm, arc voltage range 28-32V) are recorded into the image processing system;

[0062] The preset proportion of alloy powder (such as nano Al□O□5wt%+TiC3wt%) is loaded into the upward powder hopper 13, and the bottom vibration device (50Hz) is started to prevent agglomeration. The screw rod of the powder feeding module 15 (servo motor driven screw rod pump) is run empty to calibrate the conveying amount, and one end of the powder feeding pipe 14 is fixed to the front of the molten pool 30-50 mm (aligned with the center of the molten pool);

[0063] Start the slag automatic cleaning device, check the connection sealing of the high-pressure centrifugal fan 11, high-temperature wear-resistant hose 12 and cyclone separator 10, and run at -50kPa negative pressure to ensure that there is no leakage in the air flow channel;

[0064] The high-frequency induction heating module 2 is connected to a 20kHz high-frequency current, which generates eddy current in the surface layer (2-5mm depth) of the tube mold inner wall by electromagnetic induction principle. The eddy current joule heat makes the temperature of the area to be welded rise rapidly (temperature rise rate 10-15℃ / min), and the temperature sensor feeds back the tube mold temperature in real time. When the temperature rises to 240-270℃, the module automatically switches to the heat preservation mode (reduces the current output to 60% of the rated value), and the roller frame 1 rotates the tube mold at a speed of 1 r / min to ensure that the temperature of the tube mold 7 inner wall is uniform in the circumferential direction (temperature difference ≤±3℃). During the heat preservation process, the water-cooled ring sleeve 8 continues to operate, and the circulating water controls the temperature of the end of the tube mold 7 to be 150-200℃ (to avoid stress concentration caused by too large temperature difference between the end and the area to be welded), and the heat preservation time is set to 4.5 hours (adjust according to the thickness of the tube mold, increase 0.5 hours for every 10mm increase in thickness);

[0065] 10 minutes before the end of the heat preservation, start the infrared thermometer 3 to measure the temperature of multiple points on the inner wall of the pipe mold (1 point per 100 mm), if there is a local area with a temperature lower than 240°C, increase the current of the induction coil in the local area by 10% to compensate for the heat, and ensure that the overall temperature of the area to be welded meets the standard.

[0066] Then start the intelligent welding power supply and output the initial parameters (current I□=400A, voltage V□=30V, wire feeding speed 8m / min), the welding torch 6 starts to feed wire and flux (modified SJ101 flux, weight ratio of wire to flux 1:1), at the same time, the roller frame 1 is accelerated to 2r / min (adjust according to the diameter of the pipe mold to ensure that the weld width is 15-20mm), the mounting frame moves at a constant speed of 8mm / min along the axis of the pipe mold, and the spiral surfacing is started;

[0067] The laser scanner 5 scans the curved surface of the inner wall of the pipe mold in real time (10 times per second), calculates the real-time curvature radius R by the triangulation method, and the system dynamically adjusts the welding current and the moving speed of the welding torch according to the formula I=I0·(1+0.2 / R), V=V0·(1-0.15 / R), and at the same time, the mounting frame's screw slide mechanism fine-tunes the angle of the welding torch to ensure that the normal angle between the wire and the surface of the pipe mold always remains 85°±2° (to avoid a thickness difference of more than 0.3mm in the surfacing layer);

[0068] The infrared thermometer 3 collects 20 pool and interlayer temperature data per second, if the temperature exceeds 270°C, it immediately sends a command to the power supply to "reduce the current by 5-10A" or "increase the roller frame speed by 10%"; if the temperature is lower than 240°C, it sends a command to "increase the current by 5-10A" or "decrease the roller frame speed by 10%", to maintain stable temperature, the pool monitoring device 9 works synchronously: the high-definition camera takes 30 frames of pool images per second, the image processing system identifies the pool size by edge detection algorithm, if the pool length is greater than 15mm (judging that the heat input is too large), the current is reduced by 5A; if the pool brightness is abnormal (too bright / dark, judging that the arc is unstable), the wire feeding speed is fine-tuned by ±0.5m / min; the voltage sensor monitors the arc voltage in real time, if the fluctuation exceeds ±1V (such as insufficient flux supply), the flux delivery compensation is triggered (increased by 5%);

[0069] The alloy powder supply runs synchronously: according to the welding speed (8mm / min) and the wire consumption (about 1.2kg / h), the system calculates the powder demand per unit time (about 60g / h), the screw of the powder delivery module 15 delivers the powder quantitatively at a speed of 100r / min, at the same time, 0.15MPa argon gas is introduced into the powder feeding pipe 14 to push the powder to the pool accurately, mix with the melted Cr-W-Ni series wire, and realize the composition control of the surfacing layer (such as TiC particles uniformly dispersed to improve wear resistance);

[0070] At the same time of the start of the surfacing, the high-pressure centrifugal fan 11 starts to generate -60 kPa negative pressure, forming an airflow channel of "molten pool area -> high-temperature wear-resistant hose 12 -> cyclone separator 10 -> fan" inside the pipe mold;

[0071] The slag (temperature 300-500℃) formed by the cooling of the molten pool is sucked into the high-temperature wear-resistant hose 12 under the action of negative pressure, which can withstand ≤600℃, and the hose moves synchronously with the mounting frame through the support (always located 50-100mm behind the welding torch), ensuring that the slag is captured immediately after its generation;

[0072] The airflow containing the slag enters the cyclone separator 10 in a tangential direction, forming a high-speed rotating airflow of 1500r / min inside, and using "centrifugal force difference" (the density of the slag is 3-5g / cm 3 > the density of the gas) to throw the slag to the inner wall of the separator, and the slag slides down along the inner wall to the slag collection box 9, and the purified gas (containing a small amount of dust) is discharged from the top of the separator, and then discharged to the dust filter outside the workshop after the fan, the observation window on the side wall of the slag collection box 9 monitors the accumulation in real time, and when it reaches 2 / 3 of the volume, the fan is stopped after the current welding pass is completed, and the bottom sealing valve is opened to discharge the slag (to avoid affecting the continuity of surfacing during cleaning);

[0073] When the welding torch 6 moves to the other end of the pipe mold 7 (completes the surfacing of all the areas to be welded), the system automatically reduces the welding current (to 100A) and the wire feeding speed (to 2m / min), and turns off the power after maintaining the arc for 5 seconds, completes the end of the surfacing (to avoid shrinkage holes at the end of the welding pass), the molten pool monitoring device 9 automatically saves the whole process molten pool image and voltage fluctuation data, the laser scanner 5 performs full-size scanning on the inner wall of the pipe mold after surfacing, generates a thickness deviation report (requiring ≤±0.3mm), the alloy powder supply stops powder feeding, the vibration device is closed, and the slag automatic cleaning device 7 continues to operate for 5 minutes to ensure that all the residual slag in the pipe mold is sucked into the collection box 9, then the fan is turned off, the residual slag in the inner wall of the cyclone separator 10 is cleaned, and at this time the stepless speed automatic roller frame 1 is lowered to a low speed of 0.5r / min, and the pipe mold 7 is closed after the temperature drops below 200℃, the water cooling ring 8 continues to operate for 1 hour until the temperature of the end of the pipe mold 7 drops below 100℃, then the cooling water is turned off, the pipe mold 7 is removed from the water cooling ring 8, and the mounting frame and the high-frequency induction heating module 2 are moved to the standby position, the nozzle of the welding torch 6 is cleaned, the remaining powder in the powder feeding pipe 14 is recovered, the pipe mold after surfacing is lifted off the roller frame 1 by the travelling crane, and is transported to the subsequent heat treatment process, and the surface slag of the roller frame is cleaned, completing the reset of the whole system process.

[0075] This example is aimed at DN1200 ductile cast iron pipe mold 7 (original inner diameter 1200 mm, length 6000 mm, wall thickness 80 mm, after use, there are heat fatigue cracks and wear of 3-5 mm in depth on the inner wall), focusing on verifying the heat fatigue performance, hardening of the surfacing layer and crack control effect.

The cutting depth is set to 5.8-6.2 mm (cutting in three times: 3 mm for the first time, 2 mm for the second time, and 1 mm for the third time), and finally the inner wall surface roughness reaches Ra=5.8 μm (≤6.3 μm) detected by TR200 roughness meter, ensuring that the bottom layer of heat fatigue cracks, cracks and high-temperature oxidation layer (original oxidation layer thickness about 2 mm) are completely removed;

[0079] Crack detection and repair

[0080] CDX-III magnetic particle detector (magnetization current 1500 A, wet spray magnetic suspension, concentration 1.2 g / L) is used, every 500 mm along the axial direction of pipe mold 7 is a detection section, and the circumferential direction is divided into 8 detection areas. The inner wall is scanned section by section, and it is found that there are 2 radial cracks with lengths of 8 mm and 10 mm respectively at 1200 mm from one end of pipe mold 7. Local boring is carried out on this area using a boring machine (TX6213 type), and the boring depth is increased by 0.5 mm (total removal depth 6.3 mm), and no cracks are found again after detection.

[0081] Inner wall cleaning

[0082] 5% sodium hydroxide solution (temperature 60°C) is configured, and the inner wall is sprayed for 15 min by high-pressure spraying device (pressure 0.8 MPa, nozzle diameter 1.5 mm) to remove cutting oil stains; then deionized water (temperature 40°C) is sprayed for 20 min to rinse the residual lye; finally, hot air drying machine (wind temperature 80°C, wind speed 5 m / s) is used to dry along the axial direction of pipe mold 7 until the water content of the inner wall is ≤0.1% (detected by moisture meter).

[0088] The heating process is divided into three stages: room temperature→150℃ (heating rate 50℃ / h), 150℃→250℃ (heating rate 30℃ / h), and 250℃ for 5h (meeting the requirements of 240-270℃ and 4.0-5.5h).

[0100] Temperature control closed loop: if the molten pool temperature detected by the infrared thermometer 3 exceeds 270℃ (such as 275℃), the intelligent power supply automatically reduces the current to 850A and increases the speed to 870mm / min. If it is lower than 240℃ (such as 235℃), the current is increased to 880A and the speed is decreased to 830mm / min.
