This invention discloses a high-performance
electromagnetic pulse (EMP)
welding process for tubular components, comprising the following steps: configuring a corresponding intermediate layer and drive tube according to the
welding process requirements of the target weldment; sequentially assembling the inner tube, intermediate layer, and outer tube; sequentially assembling the drive tube,
magnet collector, and electromagnetic generating coil; setting the charging
voltage and
energy storage level of the pulse
capacitor; charging the pulse
capacitor bank in the charging circuit to a preset
voltage; rapidly discharging the high-
voltage electrical energy stored in the
capacitor bank to the electromagnetic generating coil to generate a transient strong
magnetic field; a huge
Lorentz force is induced inside the drive tube, propelling the outer tube to violently
impact inward at extremely high speed. This invention can achieve high-performance
electromagnetic pulse welding of multi-property material combinations and multi-size tubular components; through the design of the
magnet collector and drive unit, it achieves
electromagnetic pulse welding of low-
conductivity, small-gap tubular components; and innovatively proposes the concept of an intermediate layer, thereby realizing the welding of dissimilar or high-performance, difficult-to-join metals.
