Metal inert gas (MIG) welding method of aluminum alloy thin plate for high speed train

Abstract

The invention discloses a metal inert gas (MIG) welding method of an aluminum alloy thin plate for a high speed train. The method is characterized in that an ER5356 welding wire and 99.9% argon protective gas are selected to conduct single pass welding. The method includes the following steps: 1) surface machining of a workpiece to be welded; 2) MIG welding; 3) welding gap defect checking. The step 1) includes that the workpiece to be welded is not preheated, an organic solvent is directly adopted to remove grease dirt and dust on the surface of the workpiece to be welded, and a mechanical method is adopted to remove an oxidation film on the surface of the workpiece in a washing mode. The step 2) includes that weld heat input is controlled between 4.0KJ / cm and 5.0KJ / cm during MIG welding, and environment humidity is controlled to be smaller than or equal to 70%. The step 3) includes that pore defects of a welded workpiece are removed through a steel wire brush or an air chipper. The method has the advantage that thin plate aluminum alloy welding connector pore welding hot crack number can be greatly reduced, welding gap forming is good, welding deformation is small, welding connector strength is higher, the MIG welding quality of the aluminum alloy thin plate for the high speed train is effectively improved, and welding quality stability is ensured.

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The surface of aluminum oxide film is easy to absorb moisture. When welding, it hinders the fusion of basic metals, and it is easy to form defects such as pores, slag inclusions, and lack of fusion, resulting in a decrease in weld performance.

(2) easy to produce pores

(3) Weld deformation and crack formation tend to be large

(4) Burning loss of evaporation of alloying elements

Second, there are more welding pores

Pores will not only reduce the compactness of the weld, reduce the load-bearing area of ​​the joint, but also reduce the strength and plasticity of the joint, especially the cold bending angle and impact toughness, which must be prevented.

Third, it is prone to unfused phenomenon

Due to the existence of these defects, the overall quality of the aluminum alloy car body of the high-speed train is affected, and it constitutes a hidden danger to the safety of the high-speed train, which must be overcome with all efforts
