Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of welding wires, in particular to an improved flux-cored carbon steel welding wire with high toughness. Background Art

[0002] Flux-cored wire is a tubular welding wire filled with a flux core or a metal powder mixture. The core composition is similar to that of the electrode coating and provides arc stabilization, deoxidation, desulfurization, denitrification, microalloying, improved weld profile, and protection of the weld pool from atmospheric oxidation. The concept of flux-cored wire was first proposed by Oscar Kjellberg, founder of ESAB. However, due to the limitations of the metallurgical chemistry and mechanical manufacturing industries at the time, its development was slow. It wasn't until the 1950s, when solid-cored wire exhibited shortcomings during CO2-shielded welding, such as excessive spatter, a tendency toward post-weld porosity, and poor weld profile, that research and application of flux-cored wire regained attention. Compared to solid-cored wire, flux-cored wire offers advantages such as improved process performance, aesthetically pleasing weld profiles, faster deposition rates, and higher production efficiency. Furthermore, flux-cored wire is highly adaptable to welding a wide range of steels, and the desired weld chemistry can be easily achieved by adjusting the flux composition and ratio.

[0003] The mechanical properties of flux-cored wire deposits are unstable, which is closely related to factors such as the wire manufacturing process, the uniformity of the powder filling rate, the powder composition, and its component segregation. This instability may cause the weld joint to break easily under dynamic loads or to suffer brittle fracture under low-temperature conditions.

[0004] In order to solve the above problems, during welding, the elements of the additional protective layer can be used to fully protect the entire welding process, so that the performance can be maintained more stable during the welding process and it is more convenient to use. For this purpose, we have proposed an improved high-toughness carbon steel welding wire core. Utility Model Content

[0027] The additional protective layer 10 is provided on the outermost layer. The additional protective layer 10 is provided with nano-aluminum oxide.

[0034] Working Principle: First, the welding wire layer 1 is made of high-carbon steel with trace amounts of niobium and vanadium added to enhance its strength and toughness. This layer forms the bulk of the welding wire, providing the necessary metal filler during welding. The fluoride layer 2 consists of a barium fluoride layer 4, a sodium fluoride layer 5, and a lanthanum aluminum fluoride layer 6, arranged in this order from the inside out. The barium fluoride layer 4, as the inner layer, provides arc stability and dehydrogenation. The sodium fluoride layer 5 provides additional protection, reducing oxidation and contamination during welding. The lanthanum aluminum fluoride layer 6, as part of the outermost layer, incorporates the rare earth element lanthanum (La), leveraging its unique physical and chemical properties to further enhance the purity and toughness of the weld. These fluoride layers form a protective barrier during welding, helping to prevent oxidation and contamination during welding while also improving the wire's corrosion resistance and wettability. The alloy layer 3 also consists of a manganese layer 7, a zirconium layer 8, and a helium layer 9, arranged in this order from the inside out. The Mn layer 7, as the basic alloy layer, provides the necessary manganese element to enhance the strength and toughness of the weld. The Zr layer 8 introduces zirconium, which is a rare but effective alloying element that can significantly improve the corrosion resistance and high-temperature strength of the weld. The Hf layer 9, as the outermost layer, has an extremely high melting point and good corrosion resistance, which can further improve the high-temperature stability and toughness of the weld. These alloying elements can further improve the mechanical properties of the welding wire, such as strength, hardness and toughness, and also help to improve the microstructure and mechanical properties of the weld joint. The outermost additional protective layer 10 is composed of nano-scale alumina and yttrium oxide. This layer provides additional protection and strengthening for the welding wire. Nano-scale alumina has high hardness and high wear resistance, which can effectively prevent the welding wire from being damaged during transportation, storage and use. At the same time, the addition of yttrium oxide may help to further improve the stability and corrosion resistance of the protective layer.
