Method for using titanium plate in power industry

In the welding of titanium alloy pipes, the welding depth is determined by the thickness of the titanium alloy pipe. The production goal is to improve the formability of the titanium alloy tube by reducing the welding width, while achieving a higher speed. Therefore, when choosing the most suitable laser, we must not only consider the quality of the beam, but also the accuracy of the tube mill. Because the dimensional error of the pipe rolling mill takes effect, it is necessary to consider the limitation of reducing the light spot.

There are many unique dimensional problems in the welding of titanium alloy pipes. However, the main factor that most affects the welding is the seam on the welding box, because once the titanium plate is formed and prepared for welding, the characteristics of the weld include: Titanium plate gap, severe/minor welding dislocation, change of weld centerline. To a certain extent, the gap determines how much material is used to form the weld pool. Too much pressure is likely to cause excess material on the top or inner diameter of the titanium alloy welded pipe. , Or serious slight welding misalignment will lead to beautiful welding appearance.

In both cases, after the titanium plate is cut and cleaned, it is rolled up and sent to the welding point. Coolant is used to cool the induction coil used in the heating process. Some coolant will be used in the extrusion process. A lot of force is exerted on the squeeze pulley to prevent us from creating porosity in the welding area; however, using a larger squeeze force will result in a sharp increase in burrs (or weld beads). Therefore, a specially designed cutter is used to remove some burrs inside and outside the pipe.

One of the main advantages of the high-frequency welding process is that it can process titanium tubes at high speed. However, a typical situation in most solid phase forging joints is that it is not easy to perform reliable tests on high-frequency welded joints if traditional non-destructive techniques are used. Welding cracks are likely to appear in the flat and thin areas of the low-strength joints. The cracks cannot be detected using traditional methods. They may lack reliability in some demanding automotive applications.

In all titanium pipe welding applications, the edges of the titanium plate are melted, and when the edges of the titanium alloy pipe are squeezed together with the clamping bracket, solidification occurs at the edges. However, titanium alloy tube has high energy beam density for laser welding. The laser beam not only melts the surface of the material, but also creates a keyhole, which makes the weld seam very narrow. The welded titanium alloy tube first forms a flat titanium plate, and then makes its shape into the shape of a round tube. Once formed, the seams of the titanium alloy tube must be welded together. This weld affects the formability of the part. Therefore, in order to meet the strict test requirements and welding profile in the manufacturing industry, it is extremely important to select the appropriate welding technology. Gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW), high frequency (HF) welding, and laser welding have been applied in the manufacture of titanium alloy tubes.
