100 μm厚钛合金超薄板脉冲微束等离子弧焊焊接工艺与数值模拟

    Welding Process and Numerical Simulation of Pulsed Micro-plasma Arc Welding of 100 μm Thick Titanium Alloy Ultra-thin Plate

    • 摘要: 通过脉冲微束等离子弧焊(P-MPAW)对100 μm厚TC4钛合金超薄板进行对接焊试验,采用显微镜观察焊接接头的成形特征与显微组织,利用有限元软件模拟焊接过程,揭示了100 μm厚钛合金超薄板脉冲微束等离子弧焊焊接机理。结果表明:平均电流2 A、占空比30%和50%,当脉冲频率25 Hz时,焊缝呈现为鱼鳞焊缝,焊缝宽度与基值电流呈反比;脉冲频率分别为100、200 Hz时,焊缝呈现为光滑连续焊缝,焊缝宽度与脉冲频率呈反比。焊接接头焊缝区微观组织为网篮组织,热影响区主要为等轴α相和β相以及针状α'相马氏体。结合工艺试验可知,有限元软件模拟不同脉冲参数下的焊缝成形与工艺试验焊缝成形相似,不同基值电流和脉冲频率对焊缝宽度的影响规律一致。

       

      Abstract: The butt welding test of 100 μm thick TC4 titanium alloy ultra-thin plate was carried out by pulse micro-plasma arc welding (P-MPAW). The forming characteristics and microstructure of the welded joint were observed by microscope, and the welding process was simulated by finite element software. The welding mechanism of pulse micro-plasma arc welding of 100 μm thick titanium alloy ultra-thin plate was revealed. The results show that when the average current is 2 A, the duty cycle is 30% and 50%, when the pulse frequency is 25 Hz, the weld is fish scale weld, and the weld width is inversely proportional to the base current. When the pulse frequency is 100 Hz and 200 Hz, the weld shows a smooth continuous weld, and the weld width is inversely proportional to the pulse frequency. The microstructure of the weld zone of the welded joint is basketweave structure, and the heat affected zone is mainly equiaxed α phase, β phase and acicular α' phase martensite. Combined with the process test, it can be seen that the weld formation under different pulse parameters simulated by the finite element software is similar to the weld formation of the process test, and the influence of different base current and pulse frequency on the weld width is consistent.
