[0002] When full penetration welding is used for stainless steel parts or the thickness of the parts does not exceed 4mm, the back of the weld needs to be protected by inert gas. Based on the stainless steel pipe that can be reached at the root of the weld (usually the inner diameter of the pipe needs to be greater than 500mm), the traditional whole pipe argon filling method has disadvantages such as poor protection effect and excessive use of inert gas.

[0014] As attached Figure 1 As shown, a foldable argon chamber device, the folded argon chamber cover 2 and the folded back argon chamber cover 5 are the main structures of the argon chamber cover. The manufacturing process is to use a homemade mold to form the whole by bending, without welding and without welding deformation. The three sections of the argon chamber cover are connected by hinges, and the argon chamber cover can be efficiently completed by folding and folding back during the disassembly and assembly process. The main function of the support and air pipe 7 is to support the argon chamber cover and divert the gas in the one-inlet and three-outlet gas separator box 3, and to add a sealing gasket to seal the connection between the nut and the screw. There is no need to install an additional air pipe, which also eliminates the risk of the air pipe falling off the nozzle during use, causing quality defects.
[0015] The usage process of this application is as follows:
[0016] 1) Open the foldable argon chamber cover and place it on the back of the weld;
[0017] 2) Install the support assembly and adjust the bolts to secure it;
[0018] 3) Use stainless steel adhesive tape for sealing;
[0019] 4) Connect the air pipe to the one-inlet and three-outlet gas distribution box;
[0020] 5) Fill with inert gas for protection.
[0021] In the past, nuclear power projects used foam thermal resistance plates to make argon chambers, sealed both sides of the weld and filled the entire pipe with argon in the sealed space to achieve the effect of protecting the back of the welding pool. As the pipe diameter increases, the amount of inert gas used tends to increase gradually, but the protective effect on the back of the welding pool tends to decrease, that is, the total investment is inversely proportional to the expected product effect.
[0022] The whole material of this device is stainless steel, which can effectively avoid the contact between carbon steel and stainless steel to cause ferrite contamination. Due to the limited space in the pipeline, it is necessary to make an argon chamber device that can be quickly installed and disassembled by one person. The argon chamber cover is foldable, which can not only meet the needs of one person to complete the quick disassembly process, but also reduce the size of the device after folding, and reduce the risk of scratching the parent material when carrying it in and out of the pipeline.
[0023] Taking the specifications and dimensions of the coolant main pipeline of the CGN Hualong One reactor as an example, the inner diameter of the pipeline is 760mm, the width of the argon chamber cover groove of this device is 50mm, and the groove depth is 40mm. Under ideal conditions, the volume of gas that can be filled is: (380 2 -340 2 )*3.14*50=6123000mm 3 The traditional pipeline argon chamber is sealed with a foam thermal resistance board. Considering the thermal insulation effect, the distance between the foam thermal resistance board and the weld should be appropriately increased. The foam thermal resistance board is calculated to be 150mm away from the center of the weld. Under ideal conditions, the volume of gas that can be filled is: 380 2 *3.14*150*2=136024800mm 3 The volume of the filling gas is reduced to 4.5% of that of the traditional argon chamber, which greatly saves the use of inert gas. The reduction in volume helps to quickly complete the argon filling protection, which not only saves the total amount of inert gas used, but also improves the protection quality.
