    摘要: A gas-shielded arc welding method is disclosed and includes joining steel materials together by narrow-gap multilayer welding. A groove between the steel materials has an groove angle θ of 20° or less, and a root gap G (mm) that is a gap at a lower portion of the groove is 7 to 15 mm. Root pass is performed in one pass using a ceramic-made backing material at a welding current I (A) of 250 to 400 A and a welding voltage V (V) of 25 to 45 V while a value [Q/G] obtained by dividing a welding heat input Q (KJ/mm) computed using a prescribed formula by the root gap G (mm) is controlled within a range of 0.32 to 0.70.

    摘要: The invention belongs to the field of welding technology and discloses a CMT automatic overlaying method for opening in side wall of bimetallic composite pipes. The method includes: establishing a mathematical model of the opening in a side wall to be welded; Based on the mathematical model, determining the trajectory of the saddle line during overlaying; dividing the trajectory of the saddle line into several welding runs, all of which adopt the downslope welding process; establishing a three-dimensional model of the opening in the side wall to be welded and a CMT overlaying system simulation model; Based on the simulation model, planning the overlaying path of the CMT overlaying, and generating an overlaying offline instruction; Based on the offline instruction, performing CMT overlaying on the opening in the side wall to be welded according to the overlaying sequence, so as to obtain a weld overlay.

    摘要: The present disclosure is directed to systems and methods for pretreating a wire that is used in a welding operation to reduce the amount of hydrogen introduced into a weld. Using embodiments of the systems and methods disclosed herein, one passes a wire through a pre-treatment chamber in which a wire is treated to release hydrogen and/or other contaminants, and provides a gas flow through the pre-treatment chamber so that the contaminants that are released from the wire are taken up by the gas. The gas exiting the pre-treatment chamber may be isolated from the shielding gas utilized during a welding operation. For instance, the pretreatment gas may be directed away from the distal end of the welding torch, thereby preventing released contaminants from being transported into a weld.

    摘要: A method for using a plasma torch includes delivering a plasma gas through a plasma gas flow channel of a plasma torch while ionizing the plasma gas to produce a plasma arc that extends between the electrode and the workpiece. Additionally, shield fluid is delivered through a shield flow channel at a first pressure. A piercing operation to produce a pierce hole in the workpiece using the plasma arc is initiated while the shield fluid is delivered through the shield flow channel at the first pressure. After conducting the piercing operation for an amount of time, the shield fluid is delivered to the shield flow channel at a second pressure that is higher than the first pressure. Subsequent to the piercing operation, performing a cutting operation that forms a cut in the workpiece that originates at and extends away from a boundary of the pierce hole.
