Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas protection equipment technology, and in particular to a gas protection device for laser welding of titanium alloys. Background Technology
[0002] Laser welding is performed in the atmosphere, so gas shielding is the most crucial step in laser welding of titanium alloys. Titanium is a very reactive metal. Due to the formation of a dense oxide film on its surface, it is very stable at room temperature, but at high temperatures, it has a strong ability to absorb oxygen, nitrogen, and hydrogen, which seriously affects the mechanical properties and corrosion resistance of the welded joint.
[0003] However, during titanium alloy welding, the temperature on both the front and back sides of the titanium alloy exceeds 200°C, which presents a problem of difficulty in protecting the areas where the temperature on both the front and back sides of the titanium alloy weld exceeds 200°C. Therefore, we propose a gas protection device for titanium alloy laser welding to solve the above problem. Utility Model Content
