AI Technical Summary
Existing welding technologies are not suitable for welding furnace bodies with large thicknesses, especially in furnace bodies with large diameters and thick walls. The stirring head of friction stir welding is difficult to meet the requirements of upsetting force and large rotational output torque under heavy loads.
A split-type friction stir welding head was designed, which adopts an assembly structure of stirring head clamping handle, stirring shaft and stirring pin. It is connected to the drive mechanism through connecting ring and transmission groove to enhance structural strength. The design of stepped hole and fixing hole ensures torque transmission. The stirring pin adopts a conical structure to improve wear resistance.
It improves the load-bearing capacity of the stirring head, meeting the welding requirements of thick workpieces. At the same time, when the stirring head wears out, only the stirring shaft and stirring pin need to be replaced, reducing the cost of use.
