The present application relates to the field of fuel
assembly, especially to a method for
welding integral
control rod assembly star frame. The method is as follows: TIG fixed point
welding is performed on the
insertion position of integral
handle body
branch wing and connecting rod, all
welding points are formed by one-time molding without adding wire, each connecting rod has only one TIG welding point, the welding point is located on the outer side of the upper end of the connecting rod and the
branch wing contact part, and an integral star frame is obtained; the welding seam of the integral star frame is coated with
brazing filler metal, after completing all
coating operations, the center cylinder surface of the integral star frame and the conical head of the 24 connecting rods are coated with stop flux, and then dried; the integral star frame is brazed; the
brazing condition is that the vacuum degree is below 0.1 Pa, the temperature starts to rise, and the rising speed is controlled to be 15-20 ℃ / min; when the temperature is heated to 50-100 ℃ lower than the
solidus temperature of the
brazing filler metal, the temperature is kept for 8-15 min; then the temperature is raised to 950-1030 ℃ at a speed of 8-12 ℃ / min, the temperature is kept for 40-60 min at this temperature; finally, the pressure is filled and fast cooled, and the
cooling speed is greater than 11 ℃ / min, and the temperature is cooled to 400 ℃; finally, the furnace is cooled to below 120 ℃, and then the furnace is discharged. The present application ensures the positioning accuracy, controls the welding
thermal deformation and the brazing seam quality, and meets the use requirements.
