AI Technical Summary
In the welding process of copper/stainless steel explosion-bonded composite plates, conventional welding methods are prone to hot cracking and lack of fusion defects in the heat-affected zone of stainless steel.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of composite plate welding technology, and more specifically, to a weld structure and welding method for a copper / stainless steel explosion-proof composite plate. Background Technology
[0002] Copper / stainless steel explosion-proof composite plates overcome the performance limitations of single metals. They leverage the excellent corrosion resistance of TU2 pure copper to withstand strong corrosive media such as acids, alkalis, and seawater, while relying on the high strength and load-bearing capacity of 316L stainless steel. Therefore, copper / stainless steel explosion-proof composite plates have become an ideal choice for key applications such as chemical containers, power plant condensers, marine engineering, and metallurgical equipment, achieving a balance between function and structure, cost and performance.
[0003] However, the following problems exist when performing fusion welding on copper / stainless steel explosion-proof composite plates in the project: I. Hot cracking in the heat-affected zone of stainless steel. When welding copper / stainless steel explosion-proof composite plates using conventional welding processes (such as TIG, MIG, etc.), regardless of whether pure copper welding wire or stainless steel welding wire is used, the excessively wide arc coverage area causes copper elements to penetrate into the grain boundaries of the stainless steel heat-affected zone, resulting in the loss of grain boundary bonding and the formation of network microcracks in the stainless steel heat-affected zone. II. The physical properties of the materials differ too much. (1) The coefficient of linear expansion of TU2 copper at 800℃ is approximately 23 x 10⁻⁶. -6 / ℃, for comparison, the coefficient of linear expansion of 316L stainless steel at 800℃ is approximately 17 x 10. -6 / ℃, the high temperature linear expansion coefficient of copper is about 1.35 times that of stainless steel; (2) the thermal conductivity of copper (about 400 W / m·K) is 25 times that of stainless steel (about 16 W / m·K); (3) the melting point of copper (1083°C) is lower than that of stainless steel (about 1400-1450°C).
[0004] Due to the significant differences in the physical properties of copper and stainless steel, coupled with the penetration of copper into the grain boundaries of the heat-affected zone of stainless steel, copper / stainless steel explosion-proof composite plates are extremely prone to hot cracking and incomplete fusion defects during welding.
[0005] Du Yongqin et al. used carbon steel welding wire for the root pass and ER Ni-1 pure nickel welding wire for the transition, matching the process specifications of shielded metal arc welding, and achieved defect-free welding of copper / carbon steel explosive composite plates. Although ER Ni-1 pure nickel welding wire can obtain crack-free welds, its high viscosity can cause incomplete fusion of the weld sidewalls and excessive grinding and finishing.
[0006] Patent CN107283087A discloses a welding process for welding copper-containing explosive composite plates using flux-cored welding wire. It employs Ag-Cu-Mo-Nb flux-cored welding wire matched with MIG welding process to weld TA1 / Cu / X65 three-layer explosive composite plates. However, flux-cored welding wire has inherent defects such as the need for slag removal after welding and slag inclusion in the weld.
[0007] Chu Qiaoling and others used Cu-Si welding wire to weld titanium / copper / steel three-layer explosive composite plates. Their main idea was to use the composition of copper-based welding wire to suppress the formation of brittle compounds at the interface between dissimilar materials. Based on metallurgical principles and analysis of the welding wire composition, copper-silicon welding wire cannot completely solve the problem of copper infiltration at the grain boundaries of stainless steel.
[0008] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

The tack-welding current is 180A and the welding voltage is 20V. After tack-welding, the assembly quality of the product is inspected to ensure that the process requirements of 1mm bevel root gap, 1mm blunt edge, and 60° bevel angle are met. S3) Stainless steel layer welding: Use ER316L with a diameter of 1.2mm as filler wire, adjust the welding current to 230A, welding voltage to 24V, welding speed to 0.3m / min, and the angle between the wire feed guide and the horizontal plane to 45°. Deposit the root layer weld and control the total height of the deposited metal on the stainless steel side to 6mm. S4) Transition layer welding: Use aluminum bronze with a composition of 10wt%Al, 3wt%Fe, 3wt%Mn, and balance Cu, and a diameter of 1.2mm as filler wire. Adjust the welding current to 160A, welding voltage to 18V, welding speed to 0.3m / min, and the angle between the wire guide and the horizontal plane to 45°. Deposit the transition layer weld, control the total height of the transition layer weld metal to be 2mm, and control the total width of the transition layer weld metal to be 3mm. S5) Cover layer welding: Use aluminum bronze with a composition of 10wt%Al, 3wt%Fe, 3wt%Mn, and balance Cu, and a diameter of 1.2mm as filler wire. Adjust the welding current to 160A, welding voltage to 18V, welding speed to 0.3m / min, and the angle between the wire guide and the horizontal plane to 45°. Deposit the cover layer weld, and control the total height of the deposited metal in the cover layer to be 2mm. The width of the deposited metal in the cover layer can be obtained by subtracting the width of the transition layer from the total width of the bevel.
[0060] Non-destructive testing: After the base coat, transition layer, and cover coat molten metal were deposited, X-ray non-destructive testing was performed on the weld area. The test revealed weld cracks in the transition layer area. The presumed cause is that the welding arc coverage area was too wide, causing copper to penetrate into the stainless steel grain boundaries.
[0061] Experimental Example 1 Experiment 1 used the laser filler wire welding process to conduct a comparative test on several other copper-based welding wires. The test results are shown in Table 1. Table 1. Comparative Test Results of Copper-Based Welding Wires Using Laser Filler Wire Welding Process
[0062] Based on comparative experiments and comprehensive analysis of welding quality, precious metal content (production cost) of welding wire, and process window conditions, and in accordance with the principle of similar-dissolved metallurgy, aluminum bronze welding wire was selected as the welding wire material for the transition layer and the cover layer.
