Processing of the main body of the collector: Select a seamless metal tube of the same material as the nozzle body, and bend it into a circular pipe by a pipe bending machine. The inner diameter of the circular pipe is adapted to the outer diameter of the outer nozzle, and the fitting clearance is ≤0.1mm. Clamp the circular pipe on a CNC lathe and precision machine the inner surface to a roughness Ra≤0.8μm. At the center of the outer wall of the circular pipe, a 45° bevel is opened at the matching position of the branch pipe of the tee joint. The bevel depth is 1 / 2 of the thickness of the metal pipe wall. Remove the burrs from the edge of the bevel. S62. Welding of the manifold joint: Select a tee joint, a 90° elbow, and a flange of the same material. First, coaxially connect the branch pipe port of the tee joint with the bevel of the annular pipe. Perform full argon arc welding under the condition of argon gas purity ≥99.999% and flow rate 15L / min. Then, coaxially connect one end of the 90° elbow with the main pipe port of the tee joint, and fully weld the other end to the end face of the flange. During the welding process, use a right-angle ruler to calibrate the perpendicularity of the flange face and the axis of the 90° elbow to ≤0.02mm. Then, perform a penetration test to obtain the inlet manifold and the outlet manifold. S63, the collector and the nozzle body are positioned in butt joint: the nozzle body is clamped in the centering tool of the rotary workbench, the axis of the nozzle body is calibrated by using the micrometer, and the axial runout is ensured to be less than or equal to 0.01 mm; the inlet collector and the outlet collector are respectively butt-jointed to the upper and lower ends of the nozzle body, the supporting mandrel is inserted into the inner core of the nozzle body, the coaxiality between the axis of the annular pipeline of the collector and the axis of the nozzle body is ensured to be less than or equal to 0.02 mm, meanwhile, the butt-joint gap is detected by using the feeler gauge, and the gap is ensured to be less than or equal to 0.1 mm; S64, the corner joint argon arc welding is full-welded: the butt joint part of the collector and the nozzle body is corner joint full-welded by using the pulse argon arc welding machine, and a closed annular flow collecting cavity is formed; during the welding process, the argon gas with a purity of greater than or equal to 99.999% and a flow rate of 15 L / min is continuously introduced for protection; S65, the weld is cleaned and detected: after the welding, the edge of the butt joint weld of the collector and the nozzle body is manually polished by using the sandpaper, the roughness Ra of the transition area is less than or equal to 3.2 μm; then, the flow collecting cavity and the axial cooling flow groove are blown by using the compressed air; finally, the penetration detection is performed on all the corner joint welds, and the regenerative cooling nozzle assembly is formed.
