1.2 Development of difficulty

As we all know, high-fiber electrode is the main features of drug skin contains a lot of cellulose, wood flour, asbestos and other organic matter, organic matter in the welding combustion CO, H2 and other reducing gas, so gas is mainly cellulose electrodes welding material. To ensure that the metallurgical properties of the weld, welding metallurgy reaction process must consider the overall balance, at the same time, high-fiber electrodes is mainly used for vertical down welding, to ensure good performance, must have the right drug leather melting point and viscosity, slag skin while making appropriate drug choices.

The development of high-cellulose electrode main difficulty is how to make the electrode performance and technological properties of metallurgical balance up.

2 high-fiber electrodes slag skin drug design

2.1 Department of the choice of drug bran

According to international research experience, high-fiber electrodes slag largely determine the design of high-level research work cellulose electrodes, is generally believed that high-fiber electrodes slag slag should be short in order to ensure the vertical down welding welding operation performance. In particular slag system design, part of the researchers using high-titanium slag system (TiO ≥ 30%); some people with a non-high titanium slag system (TiO ≤ 20%). In this study, we integrated cellulose filler rod at home and abroad the advantages of slag, innovative design with a Tio2-Sio2-Mgo-MnO2-FeO slag multi-compound. Research shows that drug skin slag has a "short residue" characteristics, welding high-temperature viscosity, surface tension, melting point and moderate. Both to ensure the welding arc blow with sufficient force, but also makes each welding position (especially vertical down welding of 3:00 or 9 o'clock position) does not drip slag bath clear, easy soldering operations.

2.2 high-cellulose electrode welding metallurgy overall balance of the reaction

Drugs for high-fiber skin in welding Copper Brazing Alloys produce large amounts of reducing gases, and our use of strong oxidizing - strong reduction of the metallurgical methods, making high-fiber electrodes in various stages of the reaction equilibrium. On the one hand, we add the appropriate amount of skin in drug cellulose and other organic substances; while adding more oxidizing substances such as magnetite, magnesite, etc.; in order to prevent welding spatter generation, porosity, etc., in the skin has also joined the drug trace amounts of carbonate and composite carbide.

In this study we found that if the arc oxidizing atmosphere too, can minimize the welding holes, but the process likely to affect the electrode performance, one drip slag generated phenomenon, and second, stick generate weld slag, slag off bad. However, if the arc atmosphere to restore strong, can easily produce weld porosity and other weld defects, and Arc force is not big enough.

The manufacture of high-fiber electrodes 3

3.1 high-fiber electrodes and pre-screening of the main raw material

Electrode selection and pre-main raw materials, related to the electrodes mechanical properties more directly affect the high cellulose type coated electrode pressure production performance.

In this study, the main raw material is cellulose and oxidizing substances (magnetite and magnesia, etc.). For the cellulose in addition to considering their physical and chemical properties (such as carbon points), the still need to pay attention to two points, one fiber length should be moderate, the second is to conduct pre-treatment, removal of the lignin. Studies have shown that fiber length directly affects whether pressure will produce coated tops and eccentric, lignin is affected to a high resistance to burning of cellulose electrodes. For the oxidation of substances to be screened, selected with S, P less magnetite. Furthermore, for some alloy must be carbonized.

3.2 high-cellulose electrode surface quality control

High-fiber electrodes mechanical properties and chemical composition of the control is relatively easy, but the quality is difficult to grasp the electrode surface. We adopt the following measures received good results: â‘  control the viscosity of sodium silicate and dosage; â‘¡ drug leather raw materials with particle size; â‘¢ appropriate drying system. Now the production of cellulose electrode surface is smooth, stable welding process.

High cellulose electrode developed by the China Petroleum Pipeline Bureau has welding training center, Sichuan Petroleum Pipeline Bureau welding training center, training center of Xinjiang Petroleum Administration Bureau, welding inspection, and other departments in the oil - companies, Dagang Oilfield Welding Training Center and a number of units of the trial, the parties agreed that the ship developed by Luoyang High cellulose electrode welding performance is good, can be used to replace imported oil and gas pipeline welding electrode.

5 the application of domestic high-fiber electrodes

In April 2004, Xinjiang has a product pipeline welding using my development and production of domestic high-fiber electrodes, the length of 50.5 km of the pipeline, using the diameter φ219mm, wall thickness 5.2mm of X52 steel, welded construction used in all my The development of high-fiber electrodes E6010 and E7010-G.

Welding process is E6010-type (φ3.2mm) root welding, E7010-G type (φ3.2mm) filled with welding, E7010-G type (φ4.0mm) for capping and welding equipment for the ZX7 DC inverter welding machine , welding standard shown in Table 3.

In August 2004, the acceptance of the pipeline through the Party, the construction unit that made high-fiber electrode root pass blowing force is moderate, stable non-stick of the arc, good welding seam forming, filling and capping easy arc welding, stable arc , clear pool, good slag removal, easy to produce welding defects such as undercut holes, with favorable results. It reflects the welders, the welding operation is easy to grasp, and electrode performance of a company in Western Europe is roughly equal. Generally believed that small-diameter thin-walled pipe welding in the construction, the requirements for high-fiber electrode is more demanding. Engineering Practice has proved that the development and production of high-fiber electrodes can be replaced by imports of welded construction.
