Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application belongs to the technical field of dissimilar steel welding, and particularly relates to a hot-wire narrow-gap tungsten argon arc welding method for pipe connection of dissimilar steels. BACKGROUND
[0002] High-temperature and high-pressure parts such as cylinders and valve shells have the characteristics of complex structure, large size and harsh service conditions, and are often cast with CB2 steel (13Cr9Mo2Co1NiVNbNB). CB2 steel is a high-strength martensitic heat-resistant steel with excellent high-temperature strength and creep resistance, and is one of the commonly used materials for ultra-supercritical units. However, in some special structural parts, in order to balance the strength and toughness of the material, weldability and service reliability, F92 steel (10Cr9MoW2VNbNB) forgings need to be used in combination. F92 steel has a dense structure, high strength and good toughness, and can significantly improve the service performance of the product when used in combination with CB2 steel. In the manufacturing process, the pipe openings of the F92 steel forgings and the CB2 steel castings are connected by welding to form an overall structure. However, due to the large differences in physical and chemical properties, organization and performance between CB2 steel and F92 steel, the welded joint area is prone to stress concentration, uneven organization and mismatched performance.
[0003] At present, traditional welding methods such as shielded metal arc welding (SMAW) are commonly used in the industry. In order to facilitate operation, a larger groove angle (about 60-80°) is usually designed, which can improve the accessibility of the welding gun, but will cause the problem of large metal filling, which in turn leads to welding defects, abnormal physical and chemical properties, unstable quality and other problems in the welded joint, making it difficult to ensure the consistency and reliability of the welded joint. At the same time, the above method also has the disadvantages of large welding material consumption, much smoke and poor working environment. SUMMARY
