Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of steel structure welding technology, specifically to a narrow-gap multi-layer parallel penetration welded stiffening plate and its manufacturing method. Background Technology

[0002] As modern steel structure engineering develops towards larger scale and higher efficiency, the requirements for steel structure installation period are becoming increasingly stringent. In order to reduce on-site welding workload and improve construction efficiency, pin shaft connection nodes are widely used in steel structure design due to their convenient installation. Such nodes often use multi-layer narrow gap penetration welding to connect the stiffening plate and the base plate.

[0003] The existing multi-layer narrow-gap stiffener welding technology has the following key problems: Deformation of stiffeners leads to insufficient precision: The gap between stiffeners is usually ≤5mm. During welding, the concentration of thermal stress can easily cause the perpendicularity deviation between the middle stiffener and the bottom plate (the deviation can reach 1.0-1.5mm / m using traditional methods). The two side stiffeners will also have parallelism deviation with the middle stiffener, which requires subsequent flame correction. However, flame correction will reduce the yield strength of the stiffener material by 5%-10%, affecting the load-bearing stability of the joint. Moreover, the correction efficiency is low and the cost is high.

[0004] Challenges in reverse welding and poor weld quality: Due to the narrow gap between the stiffening plates, the reverse sides of the two side stiffening plates cannot be directly welded. The traditional method is to use steel strips for reverse protection, but the gap between the steel strips and the bevel is prone to porosity and slag inclusions, resulting in a weld non-destructive testing pass rate of less than 70%, a high rework rate, and further extending the construction period.

[0005] Low process versatility and efficiency: Traditional processes do not optimize bevel parameters for different plate thicknesses, and there are no unified standards for welding parameters. Insufficient penetration or excessive burn-through is prone to occur. Furthermore, the process is highly dependent on the welder's skills, resulting in poor quality stability during mass production.

[0006] Therefore, there is an urgent need for a narrow-gap, multi-layer parallel penetration welding method that can balance stiffener precision, weld quality, and construction efficiency to meet the high-performance requirements of pin connection nodes in steel structure engineering.

[0021] The following description, in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments, provides further details: Example 1 like Figure 1 As shown, a narrow-gap multi-layer parallel penetration welded stiffener plate includes a base plate 1. A central stiffener plate 2 is provided on one side of the base plate 1. After welding the central stiffener plate 2 to the base plate 1, a first weld 21 is formed at the top and a second weld 22 is formed at the bottom. Side stiffener plates 3 are provided at the top and bottom of the side of the base plate 1 where the central stiffener plate 2 is welded. The outer side of the side stiffener plate 3 is welded to the stiffener plate to form a third weld 31. A ceramic backing 4 is provided on the side of the side stiffener plate 3 facing the central stiffener plate 2 and in contact with the base plate 1. This stiffener plate structure adopts the technical means of opening an unequal double-sided bevel at the joint between the central stiffener plate 2 and the base plate 1, welding the large bevel 23 first, cleaning and grinding the reverse side, and then welding the small bevel 24, and performing welding reverse deformation treatment. This achieves the technical effect of keeping the central stiffener plate 2 perpendicular to the base plate 1 after welding through thermal stress, reducing the workload of flame heat correction, and improving work efficiency. It solves the technical problem that the central stiffener plate 2 is not perpendicular to the base plate 1 due to thermal stress after welding.
