A thick
metal plate large-area
butt joint braze
welding method is implemented through the following the steps that the connecting portions of a braze
welding surface of a
metal plate and an upper surface of a
metal plate are respectively provided with a rectangular notch through
machining, and thus a U-shaped groove is formed when the two metal plates are in
butt joint; foil type braze
welding flux is arranged between the braze welding surfaces of the two metal plates, the two metal plates and the foil type braze welding flux are tightly combined through a clamp, and the braze welding flux is arranged in the U-shaped groove in advance; the welding seam of the two clamped metal plates is arranged between an upper
electrode plate and a lower
electrode plate of a resistance welding
machine, contact electrodes cover the whole braze welding seam, and the braze welding seam is perpendicular to the contact surface of the contact electrodes; the upper
electrode plate and the lower electrode plate of the resistance welding
machine are pressurized, the foil type braze welding flux and the braze welding flux arranged in the U-shaped groove in advance are melted through
electric heating so as to fill the welding seam, and heating is stopped while pressure is maintained until the welding part is cooled. According to the thick metal plate large-area
butt joint braze welding method, the manual
flame braze welding mode adopted in the large-area butt joint of the two metal plates is changed, the problems that braze welding flux filling is poor, gas is difficult to
discharge, many defects are generated and the brazed rate is low due to the fact that resistance braze welding is adopted in thick metal plate large-area butt joint welding are solved, and a brazed layer is made to have the good brazed rate, good
bonding strength and good electrical properties.
