Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model belongs to titanium alloy processing technical field, especially is titanium alloy hemming weld joint welding protection drag cover. BACKGROUND

[0002] Titanium and titanium alloy have the advantages of high specific strength, good plasticity and toughness, and good heat resistance and corrosion resistance, and are first applied in new aircraft and aeroengines. With the rapid development of space industry, titanium and titanium alloy are also increasingly widely used in the field of aerospace.

[0003] Titanium alloy material is relatively active in a hot state, so that the argon arc welding process thereof is special. During argon arc welding, the welded joint after absorbing harmful elements has a certain influence on the strength of the product, and the argon arc welding process of titanium alloy has certain differences from the argon arc welding processes of other aluminum and stainless steel.

[0004] Titanium has a high melting point, large heat capacity and poor thermal conductivity, and a large molten pool is easily formed during welding, and the high temperature of the molten pool makes the metal in the weld and heat affected zone stay at high temperature for a long time. The titanium and titanium alloy welded joint area is easily contaminated by impurities such as gas and produces embrittlement, and the main elements causing embrittlement are O, N, H, C, etc. Titanium and titanium alloy start to absorb H at 250 DEG C, rapidly absorb H above 300 DEG C, start to absorb O at 400 DEG C, rapidly absorb O above 600 DEG C, start to absorb N at 600 DEG C, and rapidly absorb N at 700 DEG C. With the increase of temperature, the ability of titanium and titanium alloy to absorb N, H and O increases obviously. O and N form interstitial solid solution in Ti, which has a solid solution strengthening effect, causes lattice distortion of titanium, and increases the strength and hardness, but significantly reduces the plasticity and toughness.

[0005] Especially for the hemming weld joint, as shown in the figure, the hemming weld joint is formed by welding two L-shaped structural members, and the heat affected zone of the weld is at the lower end of the weld, so it is difficult for a single welding gun to protect the heat affected zone, and therefore, it is necessary to design a reasonable protection drag cover for the titanium alloy hemming weld joint to quickly realize engineering application and reduce the embrittlement problem of the material during the welding process of titanium and titanium alloy. Figure 3 SUMMARY The utility model discloses a titanium alloy hemming weld joint welding protection drag cover, which provides sufficient protection for the titanium alloy hemming weld joint, and has a simple structure and simple manufacturing method.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the utility model adopts the following technical scheme:

[0014] Further, the titanium alloy crimped weld joint welding protection cover further comprises a flexible buckle fixed at the mounting groove of the shell and binding the torch tip at the mounting groove of the shell by tightening a screw.

[0015] Further, the shell comprises:

[0016] an upper shell having a notch at one end for accommodating the torch tip, and the air inlet hose being connected to the upper shell through an air inlet connector;

[0017] two side shells connected to the two ends of the upper shell in the width direction, each of the side shells having an aluminum silicate cotton pad mounted thereon;

[0018] two tail shells connected to the two ends of the upper shell in the length direction, one of the tail shells having a concave surface for accommodating the torch tip, and the other tail shell having a tail shell through slot for avoiding the crimped weld joint.

[0019] As an option, the air inlet connector has a variable cross-section, and the cross-sectional area gradually decreases from the end connected to the shell to the end connected to the air inlet hose.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0028] The utility model will be further described below in combination with the drawings and specific embodiments, but should not be understood as the scope of the subject matter described in the utility model is limited to the following examples, without departing from the above technical thought of the utility model, all kinds of modifications, replacements and changes according to the ordinary technical knowledge and conventional means in the art are included in the scope of the utility model.

[0029] As Figures 1-3 shown, it is a kind of titanium alloy edge weld welding protective shroud designed by the utility model, including flexible buckle 1, tightening screw 2, gas inlet hose 5, gas inlet joint 6, upper shell 7, lateral shell 8, tail shell 9, silica alumina cotton pad 10, steel wool 11 and gas outlet baffle 12.

[0030] The upper shell 7, the side shell 8 and the tail shell 9 form an overall shell with an open lower end, which contains a cavity capable of accommodating the crimped weld joint 14, an opening for placing the crimped weld joint 14 into the cavity, and a mounting groove connected to the welding gun nozzle 3 on the welding gun 4. Specifically, one end of the upper shell 7 is provided with a notch for accommodating the welding gun nozzle 3, and the air inlet hose 5 is connected to the upper shell 7 through the air inlet joint 6 and communicates with the cavity. The two side shells 8 are respectively connected to the two ends of the upper shell 7 in the width direction and extend towards the lower end of the crimped weld joint 14, and each side shell 8 is provided with an aluminum silicate cotton pad 10, so that the two aluminum silicate cotton pads 10 are distributed on both sides of the crimped weld joint 14. The two tail shells 9 are respectively connected to the two ends of the upper shell 7 in the length direction, one of which forms a recessed profile for accommodating the welding gun nozzle 3, and the recessed profile and the notch on the upper shell 7 together form a mounting groove for the welding gun nozzle 3, and the other tail shell 9 is provided with a tail shell through slot 13 which avoids the crimped weld joint 14.

[0031] The flexible buckle 1 is a metal strip, and the two free ends of the strip are connected together by tightening the screws 2 to be bound to the surface of the welding gun nozzle 3. The flexible buckle 1 is welded to the mounting groove formed by the tail shell 9 and the upper shell 7, specifically, it is welded to the surface of the tail shell 9, and then the two free ends of the flexible buckle 1 are folded together by tightening the screws 2 to bind the welding gun nozzle 3 to the mounting groove of the shell.

[0032] The air outlet baffle 12 is installed in the cavity of the shell and above the crimped weld joint 14, and a plurality of air outlet holes are evenly arranged on the air outlet baffle 12. The steel wool 11 is filled in the cavity of the overall shell formed by the upper shell 7, the side shell 8 and the tail shell 9, and is located in the space between the air outlet baffle 12 and the inner wall of the cavity of the shell.

[0033] The flexible buckle 1 is convenient to disassemble, the connection between the air inlet joint 6 and the upper shell 7 adopts a variable cross-section air passage mode, which can evenly divide the protective gas (such as argon) introduced at the inlet end to the four sides of the cavity. The tail shell 9 is provided with a tail shell through slot 13 at the lower end, which can ensure that the crimped weld joint 14 and the heat-affected zone on both sides are in the protective cover.
