[Technical field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a shield nozzle and a contact tip used in a welding torch for gas shielded arc welding. [Background technology]
[0002] In gas-shielded arc welding, if spatter that flies off during welding adheres to the contact tip or metal shield nozzle, the gap between the contact tip and the shield nozzle narrows and insufficient shielding gas is supplied, making welding defects due to blowholes more likely to occur and requiring frequent removal of the spatter. Therefore, in the past, there have been methods that prevent spatter from adhering by applying a spatter adhesion prevention liquid, as described in Patent Document 1. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] In the above-mentioned method, when attempting to weld several weld lines in succession, the anti-spatter adhesion liquid evaporates due to the high temperature during welding, and the effectiveness of the anti-spatter adhesion liquid is lost in a short period of time, so there was a problem that the anti-spatter adhesion liquid had to be applied each time the welding of each weld line was finished.
[0005] The present invention solves the above problems, and the spatter adhesion prevention effect is not lost for a long time, and long-term welding can be performed stably, and welding efficiency can be improved. Also, The object of the present invention is to provide a shield nozzle and a contact tip that are capable of peeling off adhering spatter with a weak force. [Means for solving the problem]
[0006] The shield nozzle of the present invention, which has been made to solve the above problems, is a shield nozzle for a gas-shielded arc welding torch that includes a contact tip that guides a welding wire and supplies a welding current to the welding wire, and a shield nozzle that encloses the contact tip and sprays shielding gas to the weld from a gap between the shield nozzle and the contact tip, and is characterized in that a plating coating is applied to the base material of the metallic shield nozzle, and then a blast treatment is applied to the plating coating, and then a BN coating is applied.
[0007] Furthermore, the contact tip of the present invention is a contact tip for a gas-shielded arc welding torch that guides a welding wire and supplies a welding current to the welding wire, and that includes a shield nozzle that encloses the contact tip and sprays shielding gas to the weld from a gap between the shield nozzle and the contact tip, in which a plating film is applied to the base material of the contact tip made of a conductive metal, and then a blast treatment is performed on the plating film and then a BN coating is applied, and this is the invention according to claim 2. Effect of the Invention
[0008] In the invention of claim 1, a plating film is applied to the base material of the metallic shield nozzle, and then a blast treatment is applied to the plating film, after which a BN coating is applied. This means that the spatter adhesion prevention effect is not lost for a long time, and welding can be performed stably for a long time, improving welding efficiency. Also, The attached spatter can be peeled off with a weak force, eliminating the risk of damaging the surface during peeling. Greatly extend life It can be stretched.
[0009] In the invention of claim 2, a plating film is applied to the base material of the conductive metal contact tip, and then a blast treatment is applied to the plating film, after which a BN coating is applied. This prevents the spatter adhesion prevention effect from being lost for a long time, allows stable welding for a long time, and improves welding efficiency. Also,The attached spatter can be peeled off with a weak force, eliminating the risk of damaging the surface when peeling off. Contact Tip of Greatly extend life Can be stretched do. In addition, because the BN coating is hard, there is no risk of the tip of the insertion hole being deformed by the movement of the welding wire, which further extends the life of the contact tip.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0012] As shown in FIG. 3, the surface of the base material 1c of the contact tip 1 made of conductive metal is coated with a nickel boron plating film 1d, and the plating film 1d is then coated with a blasting treatment 1e. Coating Agent (hereinafter referred to as BN coat) coating film 1f Carried out is.
[0013] Reference numeral 3 denotes a tip holder made of a copper alloy such as copper, chromium copper, or beryllium copper having excellent electrical conductivity. The tip holder 3 has an insertion hole 3a through which the welding wire 2 is inserted in the axial direction, and at its tip, a mounting portion 3b is formed with a threaded portion on its inner surface to which the mounting portion 1b at the base end of the contact tip 1 is screwed and which holds the contact tip 1. A mounting portion 3c is formed with a threaded portion on its outer surface at the base end. In addition, a plurality of gas supply ports 3d are formed in the middle for supplying shielding gas such as carbon dioxide gas, or a mixture of argon gas and carbon dioxide gas or oxygen gas.
[0014] Reference numeral 4 denotes an insulator, the tip portion of which is formed with an attachment portion 4a having a screw groove cut into its outer peripheral surface, and the base end portion is formed with an attachment portion 4b having a screw portion cut into its inner peripheral surface which is screwed into the attachment portion 3c of the chip holder 3.

The attachment portion 5a of the base end portion is screwed into the attachment portion 4a at the tip portion of the insulator 4, and contains the contact tip 1 and the tip holder 3 with the tip of the contact tip 1 protruding.
[0016] As shown in FIG. 5, the shield nozzle 5 has a base material 5b made of metal on the surface of which a nickel chrome plating film 5c is applied as a plating film, and a blasting treatment 5d is applied to this plating film 5d, followed by a BN coating film 5e.
[0017] The BN coating films 5e, 1f applied on the plating films 5c, 1d of the shield nozzle 5 and the contact tip 1 are formed by applying a BN coating and baking and drying after blasting 5d, 1e on the base materials 5b, 1c on which the plating films 5c, 1d have been applied. The BN coating films 5e, 1f can be used stably up to 900°, are hard, and have poor wettability for long periods of time, so they suppress the adhesion of spatter, and even if they do adhere, the adhesion is weak.

This prevents the spatter adhesion prevention effect from being lost for a long time, allows stable welding for a long time, and improves welding efficiency. Also, Adhered spatter can be peeled off with a weak force, eliminating the risk of damaging the surface when peeling off, thereby significantly extending the life of the contact tip 1. Also, since the BN coating film is hard, there is no risk of the tip of the insertion hole 1a being deformed by the movement of the welding wire 2, so the life of the contact tip 1 can be further extended.
