Gas welding technique

Gas welding is a versatile method, but when it is fulfilled, it must be remembered that a sufficiently large section around the welded connection is exposed to heating. Therefore, it is impossible to exclude the occurrence of warping and the development of internal stresses in structures, and they are more significant than with other welding methods. In this regard, gas welding is largely suitable for such compounds for which a sufficiently small amount of deposited metal and low heating of the base metal. First of all, we are talking about butt, angular and end connections (regardless of their spatial position - the lower, horizontal, vertical or ceiling), while the brass and filadies should be avoided (although they can also be carried out).

In order for the weld of the seam to be highly mechanical properties, the following steps are required:

- prepare metal edges;

- to choose the appropriate power of the burner;

- adjust the flame burner;

- take the necessary additive material;

- To correctly orient the burner and determine the trajectory of its movement along the seam being performed.

As with arc welding, the gas edge of the welded metal must be prepared. They are purified (20-30 mm on each side) from rust, moisture, oil, etc. For this, it is enough to warm the edge. In the case of welding, non-ferrous metals use mechanical and chemical cleaning methods.

When carrying out butt connections (Table 42), it should be remembered by some edge cutting rules:

- When welding a thin metal (up to 2 mm), the additives are not used - it is enough to make the kneading edges, which then melted and give a weld roller. This option is also possible: to weld the edges of the jack without cutting and gap, but using the additive material;

- when welding metal with a thickness of less than 5 mm, you can do without a bevel of edges and keep one-sided gas welding;

- When the metal compounds, the thickness of more than 5 mm, the edges are mounted at an angle of 35-40 ° so that the total seam disclosure angle was 70-90 °. This will make the metal to the whole thickness.

Table 42. Preliminary preparation of the edges of the welded metal when performing butt connections

Note: A - Gap value; a1 - the magnitude of the dullness; S and S1 - metal thickness.

When performing angular compounds, the additive material is not used, and the seam is formed by melting the edges of the metal.

Fall and taving compounds are allowed exclusively when welding metal with a thickness of up to 3 mm, since with a larger thickness, the local heating of the metal is uneven, which leads to the development of significant internal stresses and deformations, as well as to the appearance of cracks both in the weld metal and mainly metal.

In order for the process of welding, the parts did not shift and the gap between them did not change, they are fixed with either special devices or patches. Length, quantity and gap between the latter depend on the thickness of the metal, the length and configuration of the seam:

- if the metal is thin, and the seams are short, the length of the tapes is 5-7 mm at the interval between them at 70-100 mm;

- If the metal is thick, and the seams are long, then the tape length increases to 20-30 mm, and the distance between them is up to 300-500 mm.

In the process of welding, the flame burner is directed to the metal in such a way that it falls into the restorative zone and was 2-6 mm from the kernel. When welding low-melting metals, the flame of the burner is mainly oriented on the additive material, and the zero zone is moved to an even greater distance from the welding bath.

When welding, it is necessary to adjust the speed of heating and melting metal. To do this, resort to such actions (Fig. 91):

- change the angle of inclination of the mouthpiece;

- manipulate the mouthpiece itself.

Fig. 91. Methods for adjusting the heating rate and melting of metal by change: a - angle of inclination of the mouthpiece; b - the trajectories of the movement of the mouthpiece and wire; 1 - when welding of thin metal; 2, 3 - with tolstolic metal welding

When welding, it is necessary to ensure that:

- the core of the flame was not in contact with the molten metal, since the latter can be carbonized from it;

- The welding bath was protected by the torch zone and the reduction zone, otherwise the metal will be oxidized by atmospheric oxygen.

In the process of using the gas burner, it is necessary to follow the rules for handling it:

1. If the burner is in good condition, then the flame that it gives is stable. In the event that any deviations are observed (the burning of the unstable, the flame is broken down or goes out, reverse strikes occur), it is necessary to pay special attention to the burner nodes and adjust it.

2. To check the injection burner, connect the oxygen sleeve, the tip is fixed to the body. After tightening the cape nut, the acetylene valve is neatly unscrewed, the oxygen reducer is set by the corresponding oxygen pressure, after which the oxygen valve is opened.

3. If the finger attacked to acetylene nipple is embroidered, this means that oxygen creates a discharge. If this does not happen, an injector, mixing chamber or mouthpiece clogged. They should be cleared.

4. Repeat the discharge check (SUPPLC). Its value is determined by the gap between the end of the injector and the entrance to the mixing chamber. Twisting injector, the gap is regulated.

The two methods of gas welding are distinguished (Fig. 92):

Fig. 92. Gas welding methods (arrow indicated the direction of welding): A - left; b - right; 1 - additive wire; 2 - welding torch

- Left welding in which the burner is moved to the right left and hold behind the additive wire. At the same time, the welding flame is oriented not yet cooked seam. This method does not sufficiently protect the metal from oxidation, is accompanied by partial heat loss and gives low welding performance;

- Right welding in which the burner is moved from left to right and keep ahead of the additive wire. In this case, the flame is focused on the finished seams and the end of the additive wire. This method makes it possible to send a welding bath for metal melting large quantity Heat, and the oscillatory transverse movements of the mouthpiece and wire are carried out less often than with the left method. In addition, the end of the additive wire is constantly immersed in the welding bath, so they can be mixed it, which contributes to the transition of oxides into the slag.

The right method is usually used if the thickness of the welded metal exceeds 5 mm, especially since the welding flame on the sides is limited to the edges of the product, and behind the roller of the weld metal. Thanks to this, heat losses are reduced, and it is used more effectively.

The left method has its advantages, since, first, seams all the time is in the field of view of the welder and it can adjust its height and width, which is of particular importance when welding of thin metal; Secondly, when welding, the flame can be spread over the metal surface, reducing the risk of the fry.

When choosing one or another welding method, you need to be guided by the spatial position of the weld:

- When performing the lower seam, the thickness of the metal should be taken into account. It can be applied and right and left. This seam is the easiest, since the welder can observe the process. In addition, the liquid additive material flows into the crater and does not come out of the welding bath;

- The right way is preferable for the horizontal seam. To prevent the leakage of the liquid metal, the walls of the welding bath make with some distortion;

- for the vertical seam to the rise - and the left, and the right, and for the vertical seam to the descent - only the right way;

- The ceiling seam is easier to apply in the right way, since the flow of the flame is directed to the seam and does not give a liquid metal to extort from the welding bath.

A method that guarantees high quality welds is welded with baths (Fig. 93).

Fig. 93. Welding with baths: 1 - direction of welding; 2 - the trajectory of the movement of the additive wire; 3 - Motion Trajectory Mouthpiece

This method is used for welding of thin metal and pipes from low carbon and low-alloy steel lightweight seams. They can be used when welding butt and angular compounds with metal thickness up to 3 mm.

The process of welding with baths proceeds as follows:

1. Melting the metal with a diameter of 4-5 mm, the welder places the end of the additive wire into it. When its end is melted, it introduces it to the reducing zone of the flame.

2. At the same time, the welder, a slightly screening mouthpiece, makes them circular movements to form another bath, which must be selected somewhat (about a third of a third of the diameter). In this case, the wire must be kept in the reducing zone to prevent its oxidation. The flame core can not be immersed in the welding bath, otherwise the seam metal carburization will occur.

With gas welding, seams are single or multi-layered. If the metal thickness is 8-10 mm, the seams are welded into two layers, with a thickness of more than 10 mm - three layers and more, and each previous seam is pre-cleaned from slag and scale.

Multiple seams in gas welding are not practicing because it is very difficult to impose narrow rollers.

In gas welding there are internal stresses and deformations, since the heating section turns out to be more extensive than, for example, with arc welding. To reduce the deformations, it is necessary to make appropriate measures. To do this, recommend:

- to evenly heat the product;

- select adequate welding mode;

- evenly distribute the filtered metal over the surface;

- adhere to a certain procedure for the overlay of the seams;

- not to get involved in the performance of tapes.

To combat deformations, various ways are used:

1. When the butt joints are made of the welds are applied in a renewable or combined method, separating it to a portion of 100-250 mm long (Fig. 94). Since the heat is evenly distributed over the surface of the seam, the main metal is practically not affected.

Fig. 94. Sequence of seam overlay when welding butt connections: A - from the edge; b - from the middle of the seam

2. Reducing the deformations contributes to their balancing, when the subsequent seam causes deformation, the inverse themes that caused the previous seam.

3. Finds the use and method of reverse deformations, when the parts are placed before welding so that after it is as a result of the deformation action they occupied the desired position.

4. Fighting the deformations helps and pre-heating of the combined products, as a result of which the smaller temperature difference between the weld bath and the product is achieved. This method works well when repairing cast-iron, bronze and aluminum products, and in the event that they are made of high carbon and alloyed steels.

5. In some cases, it is resorted to the duty of the weld (in a cold or hot condition), which improves the mechanical characteristics of the seam and reduces the shrinkage.

6. Thermal processing is another way to eliminate the developed stresses. It is preliminary, it is carried out simultaneously with welding or it is already the finished product. The heat treatment mode determine the form of parts, the properties of the welded metals, conditions, etc.

There are several types of welding, differing from each other by obtaining a high-temperature welding bath, designed for cutting or compounds of various metals and alloys: electric arc, ultrasound, gas flame. The principle of operation lies in the fact that the edges of the designs of the reunion to be reunited are melted, and a completely new structural unit is formed at the place of their joint - welding seam.

Welding gases

The temperature indicator depends primarily on which gas is used during welding. For example, as a result of water reaction with calcium carbide, acetylene is released, which interacts with oxygen, makes it possible to obtain a flame temperature of more than 3000 degrees. The welding gases include all varieties of propanes, butanov, Maf (alternative to acetylene), benzenes, kerosens and others.

The presence of oxygen, which is a combustion catalyst, is necessarily in the process of applying any welding gases. The oxygen supplied to the burner must have high quality and purity. The maximum temperature obtained during operation depends on these indicators.

Gas mixes elements

Regardless of which gas is used during welding, it is important to remember that it is possible to obtain a high combustion temperature and certain flame properties, only when used in a mixture of technically pure oxygen. Fullness of combustion or evaporation of combustible elements depends on the quality of the component, and on the amount of the properties obtained by the flame: restorative or oxidative.

Special requirements are presented to the storage and submission conditions. The use of special separate cylinders is necessary in this case:

  • technical oxygen is a powerful catalyst;
  • many gases used for welding are very toxic.

If atmospheric oxygen is used, it is hardly possible to get perfectly smooth seams. It will change the properties of the metal found in the melting and compound process, which will significantly reduce the quality of the seam made.

It is considered not effective use in a welding gas mixture of conventional oxygen contained in the atmosphere. The presence of impurities existing in the air significantly reduces the combustion rate of the elements, which is reflected in the flame temperature.

Welding gases

Regardless of which gas is used during welding, inert or carbonate, it should be remembered for compliance with the proportions in the mixture. A specific choice depends on the metal. For example, carbon dioxide gas prevails in welding steel structures (about 18%), and when working with stainless steel - argon (almost 98%).

During welding, inert and active gases are used. Inert elements are usually not poisonous, do not interact with the metal and do not dissolve in them.

  • Argon (AR) - does not have colors and odor, it does not burn, heavier than air is one and a half times. Distinguish two varieties. The highest grade is used to welding loaded metal structures from active and rare metals and alloys. The first grade is necessary for aluminum and steel products.
  • Helium (He) - without color, smell, lighter than air. Two types are distinguished: high purity and technical element. Rare Helia's use is due to its high cost. Recommended for pure and active metals, aluminum and steel.
  • Nitrogen (N2) - does not have colors, smell. It is used for copper and copper alloys. There are 4 varieties of nitrogen with different content of substance.

Gas are active serve as the protection of the welding zone from the air, they enter into chemical interaction with metals and dissolve in them.

  • Oxygen (O2) - does not have colors, odor, taste. Oxygen does not burn, but is a powerful catalyst that supports burning. It is used in mixtures with inert or active ingredients.
  • Carbon dioxide (CO2) has a smell and pronounced oxidative properties. It is perfectly soluble in water and weighs 1.5 times heavier than air. There are 3 grades of substances that are used to connect cast iron, low and medium carbon metals and alloys, low-alloy structures and corrosive steels. It should be remembered that carbon dioxide in welding does not apply.

Improve the process and welding quality with welding mixtures. The most claimed mixtures:

  • helium and argon;
  • argon and oxygen;
  • carbon dioxide and argon;
  • oxygen and carbon dioxide;
  • argon, carbon dioxide, oxygen.

Choosing which gas for welding is suitable in a particular case, it is necessary to take into account several factors: the characteristics of the metal combined, the type of equipment, the desired seam shape, the conditions for performing work, the properties of the chemical composition.

Gas welding is more expensive than electric, because the price of acetylene and oxygen is significantly higher than the cost of the electrical energy required during contact or arc welding.

Gas welding with full responsibility can be called the queen of welding fields.

Everything is good in it: it is easy to perform, equipment for gas welding is quite inexpensive, economical in the consumption of electrical energy, the list of advantages can be continued.

If you started with the advantages, it will be honest to stop at the minuses. The disadvantage in the speed of metal heating is low.

In addition, the working plot with such a "melt" method is a very large zone of metal heating, which is lost a lot of thermal energy. There is also such an unpleasant phenomenon as a warping.

Thus, the performance of the workflow is not very high, and with an increase in the thickness of the edges of the welded blanks decreases even more.

Therefore, if the thickness of your metal sheet is more than six millimeters, start thinking about the use of gas welding somewhere else. And the thick edge is better to cook, for example, arc method.

Injector and uninterruptible burner.

Gas welding - not the most expensive welding method, it is well known. But gas for welding - acetylene and oxygen, which love to use as a welding gas mixture, are still more expensive than electricity.

And if you add a fairly high risks of explosions and a serious fire. Danger that instantly occurs with the improper handling of combustible liquids, gases, oxygen cylinders and elementary calcium carbide, enthusiasm is slightly reduced.

Gas welding technology is excellent for a wide range of welding: from the connection of parts from aluminum and steel to work on bronze and cast iron.

Immediately, we note that almost all metals, including such a capricious as copper, lead or cast iron, can be powered by gas welding: they are easier than gas technology than any other.

Technical sides of the gas welding process

Features of gas welding - the democraticity of its seams, which can be done in all positions in space - from the lower to the ceiling.

The hardest thing accounted for the ceiling seams, since in this case the molten metal needs to be maintained and quickly distributed over the entire length of the seam by the high pressure of the gas mixture from the flame.

The most popular seams in this method are butkovy. It is not friendly gas welding with seams of a mustache and brand. The fact is that for both types of seams you need an extremely strong heating of the metal. In addition, this method is high risk of pronounced warp.

If the edges of the billets are thin and bent, they are boiled without the use of filled wire with the formation of continuous or intermittent seams, which can also be single and multi-layered.

It is clear that before welding it is necessary to clean the edges and surfaces of metal blanks in the most careful way.

One of the most important technical components of the GS - manipulation with a gas burner. Gas welding technique implies that the flame is kept at a distance of about 5 mm from the end of the core, without touching the metal surface.

The welding bath is formed under the pressure of the gases on the liquid metal, they seem to swell it around the edges.

The additive wire is immersed in the welding bath. The intensity of the heating of the working area can be changed. This is done by changing the corner of the tilt of the copper mouthpiece of the burner to the surface of the workpiece. The dependence here is straight and understandable: the greater the angle of inclination, the higher the heating of the metal from the flame.

The torch mouthpiece should move along the seam. At the same time, it is necessary to monitor the condition of the welding bath: the metal in it should be protected by gas pressure from the unwanted effects of ambient air. It is necessary to do this to protect the metal from the oxide film.

The most sought-after ways

Welding in the lower position.

Gas welding methods can be described and listed in several thick volumes.

Take the most common of them:

Left welding

The left method of gas welding is the most common among masters of any qualification. Used to connect metals with a thin edge and a low level of melting point. Left and right welding - two sides of the same medal, remember it easy.

Right welding

The right welding method is suitable for working with metals with a thickness of more than 3 mm and high thermal conductivity. It should be noted that the welding seam with right welding is obtained better due to the best protection of metal with flame.

The use of the heat of the flame with the right way is more economical, and the speed of the process is above almost 20%. In the same popular potty, you can add gas cost savings about 10%.

A twisted wire must be taken with a diameter less than exactly two times the thickness of the metal blank. Wire can not be thicker 8 mm.

Welding using through roller

This technology of gas welding involves gradual, step by step, moving the flame with the melting of the upper edge of the hole in the workpiece and the layer of the molten metal layer on the lower edge of the same hole.

Pre-sheet metal sheets are fixed vertically, leaving a gap between them half the thickness of the workpiece itself. The seam is formed in the shape of a roller, which connects the items. It is distinguished by density, without any pores or slag residues.

Welding with baths

Here the name speaks for itself. The principle of the method lies in the formation of new and new baths along the seam. As soon as one of them is formed, the end of the additive wire is introduced into it, it melts there, and then moves to the refurbishment of the burner fire.

Meanwhile, the mouthpiece of the nozzle moves further along the seam - the next site. Each new bath overlaps the previous one third of the wire diameter.

This method connects thin sheets when you need to perform butt or angular types of seams. This is a favorite type of welding for pipes from steel low-alloyed or small-carbon alloys.

Multilayer gas welding

It is used with very responsible types of work, as it is characterized by rather low performance, and the welding gases are required here in a large volume - the method is not cheap. It occurs an annealing of the lower layers when the upper is surfacing.

As a result, there is an excellent duty of each layer before the formation of the next seam. This method significantly improves the quality of the seam metal.

The process goes in short plots. Special attention is paid to clean the surface of the underlying layer before overlaying the following.

Welding with oxidative flame and deoxidation

Gas welding cylinders.

This technology is designed to connect parts from small-carbon steel alloys. The flame here has a sharp oxidative character, as a result of which iron oxides are formed in the welding bath. If there is oxidation, it is necessary and the so-called deoxidation.

It is achieved using a special additive wire with high shares of manganese and silicon. An excellent productivity is higher than 10% than the remaining methods.

Nuances with different seams and different metals

Horizontal seams are formed using the right method of gas welding. There are situations where the process lead to the right to left with the mouthpiece at the bottom of the bath, and the wire from above. So the seam is formed faster and easier, and the molten metal in the bath does not flow down.

Vertical seams on the contrary, are produced by the left in the bottom-up direction. If the metal is thick, apply the seam with a double roller.

Ceiling seams are one of the most difficult for execution. Here you need to first heat the edges of the workpiece, then until the time for their melting, the wire is placed, which is quickly melted.

The liquid metal in the bath is held from the flow of down the pressure of gases from the burner. Welding makes the right way. It is best to use multilayer seams with multiple passages.

Low carbon steel can be prepared with almost any gases. It is important to choose the right twisted wire: it must also be made of steel with low carbon content.

Alloyed steel are with very different compositions. Therefore, the unified method of gas welding for them is not and cannot be. If the heat-resistant stainless steel alloy, the parts are cut from it with a wire with a nickel and chromium content.

There are separate stamps that can only be prepared using molybdenum as part of the additive wire.

Copper and its alloys always require a strong flame. During melting, it is extremely fluid, so the gap must be made minimal. In addition to copper wire, flux mixes for deoxidation of metal weld are used.

Brass is a very difficult metal for work due to its composition. Here is the high risk of pore formation in the welding seam due to the volatility of zinc. This risk can be significantly reduced by feeding more oxygen into the mixer and applying brass wire as a additive.

Bronze - another capricious alloy. During welding, it is important not to smear from the composition of its important elements: tin, silicon and aluminum. Therefore, the flame should be reducing, and the additive is bronze with a silicon additive, which will help in the further deoxidation of the seam.

Advantages and disadvantages of welding with gas burner

Gas welding of metals has a solid list of advantages:

  • The method does not imply the purchase and use of complex and expensive equipment. It is not necessary for him, for example, an inverter or semi-automatic.
  • Consumables used in gas welding are widely offered on the market, you can find any composition or model without difficulties.
  • Special protective agents are not required, even with gas welding of pipes.
  • The main parameters of the welding are well regulated: the flame of any required power, the level of metal heating temperature.

Gas burner welding method.

There are disadvantages where without them:

  • Too slow metal heating, especially in comparison with the electric arc.
  • A too extensive heating zone around the gas burner, as a result of which a lot of energy is lost.
  • Heat from the burner of scattered type, it is difficult to concentrate.
  • The method is still more expensive than the electric arc: the price of gases is higher than the cost of electricity.
  • With an increase in the thickness of the edges of the blanks, the speed of the workflow is reduced due to high heat dissipation.
  • It is almost impossible to automate the process.

Couple words about consumables

What gas is used during welding - the question is not unavailable, in which you need to understand to make the right choice. Types of gases used are different, the choice depends on several factors.

Oxygen

Oxygen, for example, is distinguished by the complete absence of color and smell. His role is special, it performs the function of the catalyst for the melting of metals during welding. Storage and transportation of oxygen are made in constant pressure cylinders. This is a difficult thing, but quite fulfilled.

The main thing is to know and implement the safety rules in handling oxygen cylinders and gas itself. For example, the presence of technical oil can lead to ignition: therefore, it is necessary to categorically exclude the slightest contact with such oil.

Flame of gas burner.

In the premises where cylinders are stored, in no case should there be a source of heat or direct sunlight.

How welding oxygen is obtained: this is done quite simply - from atmospheric air with the help of specialized equipment.

Oxygen is divided into three types of purity:

  • highest grade with gas concentration of 99.5%;
  • first grade from 99.2%;
  • the second is from 98.5%.

Acetylene

This is the second most popular gas used in the GS for welding and cutting. It is also without color and smell. With elevated pressure or heating, acetylene may explode. It is produced from carbide calcium and water.

Acetylene is not the cheapest gas, but its advantage makes it very popular among welders. It's all about combustion temperatures - it has acetylene is remarkably high, especially in comparison with such cheaper gases as methane, propane or kerosene couple.

Flux and Flushing Wire

These are the main participants in the process of forming the welding seam. The additive wire must be absolutely purified from the slightest signs of dirt or corrosion. Sometimes instead of wire, it is possible to use a strip from the same metal as blanks for welding.

Flusics are necessary to protect the welding bath from the harmful effects of external factors. Most often, a boiler and boric acid are taken as composite elements of flux mixtures, which can be applied directly to the welded blanks or on the additive wire.

The only metal that can do without flux mixes is carbon steel. Well, a special need in the presence of a flux occurs when welding copper, aluminum and their alloys.

Necessary equipment for gas welding

Water shutter

This is a simple and effective protection of the pipe, the acetylene generator and other elements from the fire in the form of a reverse thrust from the gas burner. Water in this gate should be at the level of which you need to follow. It is usually located between the burner and acetylene pipe.

Gas cylinders

These cylinders of different color depending on the type of gas. All cylinders apply strict rule: never paint the top so that the paint and gas contact does not happen. Another technical nuance: the acetylene cylinders should not be made copper valves due to the high risk of explosion from the interaction of acetylene and copper.

Miscellaneous hoses

Hoses need a lot for what: gases and hot liquids. In addition, they must work under pressure, so this is not at all garden hoses for irrigation of vegetation, but serious devices with special technical characteristics.

  • with a red stripe for pressure up to 6 atmospheres;
  • with a yellow stripe for combustible substances;
  • with a blue pressure strip up to 20 atmospheres.

Gas-burners

Gases and pairs from flammable liquids are mixed in a burner mixer. They are produced in a huge variety, sharing injectors and burners without it, different power, and so on.

Reducer

The necessary thing is where there is a high gas pressure.

Reducers reduce gas pressure leaving the cylinder. They are two types: direct and reverse action. Advanced silver models are available for operation with liquefied gas: they do not allow such a gas to freeze at the outlet of the cylinder.

Gas post

This is a special desktop for welding. The best way Post - a tabletop with the possibility of turning it and fixed. A good post is equipped with exhaust ventilation and a good warehouse tool and storage system.

Gas welding: hybrid version with semi-automatic

In this technique, the use of an electrical arc and protective gas is added - most often argon. With this scenario, the technology can be called hybrid.

Sews with gas welding.

These are the steps of actions:

  • connecting the device to the network;
  • fixation of the foaming wire through the hole in the burner;
  • gas pressure adjustment using gearbox;
  • definition and setting the feeder feed rate;
  • regulation of the remaining parameters - the forces of welding current and voltage;
  • fixation of the burner at an angle to the surface of the blanks before igniting the burner;
  • start welding.

It should be noted that specifications All consumables, as well as equipment elements, clearly and clearly spelled out in GOSTs. In other words, the gas welding process is perfectly regulated.

Fall under Gosty, for example, the following parameters:

  • characteristics of acetylene generator;
  • types of hoses;
  • gas pressure adjustable by gear;
  • type of gas burner;
  • types of additive wire;
  • standards for gas cylinders, etc.

Gas welding process

Gas, or gas-plasive welding refers to the group of welding methods of melting and occupies the most important place in this group, yielding to the practical value of only arc electric welding. To carry out the welding process, it is possible to use different combustible, respectively, which can be distinguished by welding hydrogen-oxygen, gasoline-oxygen, etc. Acetylane-oxygen welding has a predominant value; Other types of combustible have limited use. The essential technological difference of gas welding from arc welding is a smoother and slow metal heating.

This is the main difference between the welding gas flame from the welding arc is in some cases the disadvantage, in others, the advantage of the gas flame and determines the following main areas of its use for welding:
1) steels of small thickness, 0.2-5 mm;
2) non-ferrous metals;
3) metals requiring a gradual soft heating and slow cooling, for example, many instrumental steels;
4) metals requiring heating during welding, for example cast iron and some varieties of special steels;
5) for solid soldering;
6) for some types of surfacing work.

Thanks to the versatility, the comparative simplicity and portability of the necessary equipment, gas welding is very appropriate for many types of repair work. Comparatively slow metal heating with a gas flame quickly reduces the capacity of gas welding with an increase in metal thickness, and with thickness steel above 8-10 mm gas welding is usually economically unprofitable, although the welding of 30-40 mm thick is technically possible. In slower heating, a large volume of the main metal adjacent to the weld bath is heated, which, in turn, causes significant deformations (warping) of the products of the products. This important circumstance makes gas welding technically inappropriate, not to mention economic disadvantage for such, for example, objects, such as building metal structures, bridges, wagons, hulls of ships, beds of large machines, etc. Slow heating also causes a long residence of metal in the zone High temperatures, which entails overheating, consolidation of grain and some decrease in the mechanical properties of metals.

Significant metal deformations arising from gas welding limit the possibility of choosing rational forms of welded joints. From the diverse forms of welded joints performed by arc welding, with gas welding use, as a rule, only the simplest butt compound. Corner seams and compounds of fattest and brazers for gas welding are used only in cases of necessity due to the difficulties created by significant metal deformations inherent in gas welding. The butt connections are used as without a bevel of edges, without flaming and with the kneading edges (a particularly convenient compound for gas welding) and with single and double-sided bevel edges.

Qualified welders can use more powerful burners, increasing the rate of flame promotion along the seam and increasing welding performance.

The burner is usually adjusted to work on a normal flame. The thermal effect of the flame on the metal depends not only on the power of the flame, but also on the angle of the flame axis to the metal surface. The flame is most intense when its axis is normal to the metal surface. With a decrease in the angle of inclination, the thermal effect of the flame is weakening and is distributed for the larger area. Thus, besides the selection of the appropriate burner size, the welder can smoothly adjust the heat action of the flame metal, making the flame to be softer or tough, changing the angle of inclination of the flame to the surface of the product. With an increase in metal thickness, it is customary to increase the angle of inclination of the flame and reduce it with a decrease in metal thickness. In the process of welding, the burner is reported by oscillatory movements, and the end of the mouthpiece describes a zigzag path, similar to the path, the end of the metal electrode under arc welding. The burner the welder holds in his right hand, if the addition of the additive metal is required, then the welder holds a frowning rod in the left hand. The prudent bar is located at an angle of 45 ° to the metal surface, and the end should be immersed in the molten metal bath. The end of the bar reports zigzag vibrational movements in the direction opposite to the movements of the burner, so that the rods and the burner mouthpiece always move towards each other.

Gas welding can be produced in the lower, vertical and ceiling positions. There are two methods for performing gas welding, so-called left and right ways.

With the usually applied by the left welding method, the additive rod moves ahead, followed by the burner. Welded seam remains behind the burner, the flame is directed forward, on the main metal. Most convenient for the welder in this case, move the burner along the seam to the right left.

With the right way of welding ahead moves the burner, it follows the additive rod located between the seam and burner. The seam is located ahead of the burner, counting in the direction of the flame, the flame is directed backwards on the weld. With the right method, the burner is usually moving from left to right.

The right method gives the best to. P. D. The use of heat of the flame, and therefore increases the productivity of welding and, accordingly, reduces the specific consumption of gases by 15-20%. Despite the specified advantage, the right method is applied quite rarely; This is due to the fact that the advantage of this method is noticeably manifested only when welding metal with a thickness of more than 5 mm, which rarely occurs during gas welding. When welding the metal of small thicknesses, the right way, not giving noticeable benefits, increases the risk of processing the metal, why it does not apply. In order to increase the productivity of gas welding, it is advisable to divide the flame into several separate independent flames located along the seam axis. Despite the undoubted increase in welding productivity given by multifamilate burners, they have not yet received a noticeable distribution in our industry due to the complexity of the design and maintenance, cumbersome and inconvenience in work compared to a normal single-flame burner.

The fastening wire for gas welding steels is used as for electrodes under arc welding, and is manufactured according to GOST in 2246-60. For gas welding of low carbon steel, the wire brands of SV-08, SV-08A and SV-15G are used. For welding cast iron produced special cast cast iron rods with high carbon and silicon content. For the surfacing of solid wear-resistant coatings, the rods of cast solid alloys are produced, for example, a solid alloy of the sample, developed by the Sorma Plant.

Instead of electrode coats used in arc welding, gas welding is quite widely used by fluxes whose use is necessary for gas welding of cast iron, non-ferrous metals and some special steels. Fluses are added to the bath for dissolving oxides and the formation of low-melting slags that pop-up to the surface of the bath. Fluses can introduce reducing agents and additives alloying the filtered metal. Fluses are used in the form of powders and pastes applied to the main metal or on the additive rod. The effect of fluxes on oxides can be chemical and physical, but often between them is difficult to carry out a clear boundary.

The chemical effect of fluxes is to form with oxides of metals of low-melting compounds resistant at high temperatures. For chemical fluxes of metal metal oxides, such as iron oxides FEO, acidic acids are injected into fluxes, such as silicon dioxide Si02 (quartz sand, crushed window glass) and boric anhydride B203 (boor, boric acid). For acidic acid oxides, such as silicon dioxide Si02, compounds giving major oxides are used. To this end, Na2C03 and Potash K2C03 are usually used, which gives the main oxides of NA20 and K20, respectively in the welding zone.

For solvent fluxes, there is mainly halogen salts of alkali and alkaline earth metals NaCl, KS1, LICL, CAC12, NAF, KF, CAF2, etc., as well as carbon dioxide and phosphorous sodium salts. To enhance the effects of solvent fluxes in them, sodium or potassium bisulfates or KHS04 are often added.

The resulting free acid translates metal oxides into halide salts, reinforcing their solubility in the flux and lowering the melting point of the resulting slag.

The use of gas welding is vast and varied. Gas welding is used in aircraft construction, which prevails welding of small thicknesses (1-3 mm), in the production of chemical equipment. Important It has gas welding in the laying and installation of pipelines of a wide variety of appointments, especially small diameters, up to 100 mm. Gas welding is an indispensable powerful tool during repair and, for this purpose, is widely used in repair shops for all types of transport, in agriculture, etc.

The quality of welded compounds performed by gas welding is higher than with arc electrodes with a thin ionizing coating, but somewhat inferior to arc welding made by high-quality electrodes. The main reason for a certain reduction in the strength of welded compounds is that at gas welding there is no doping of the weld metal, while in arc welding, high-quality electrodes containing ferroalloys are made of fairly significant doping. Thus, gas protection provided by the reduction zone of the welding flame to obtain a high-quality welded joint is less effective than the action of high-quality electrode coats for arc welding.

The performance of gas welding, significant with small thicknesses of the base metal, is rapidly decreasing with an increase in its thickness. With small thicknesses (0.5-1.5 mm), gas welding can exceed arc. With an increase in metal thickness up to 2-3 mm, the speed of gas and arc welding is equalized, and then the difference in speeds quickly, increases with an increase in the thickness of the metal in favor of arc welding. With small thicknesses, the absolute consumption of gases per 1 m weld is small; The total cost of 1 m of the weld may be less than with other welding methods. With an increase in the thickness of the base metal, the cost of gases and the consumption of time for welding 1 m seam and gas welding becomes more expensive than arc; The difference in value is rapidly increased with an increase in the thickness of the base metal. Thus, economically gas welding is most appropriate for welding small metal thicknesses.

The peculiarities of gas welding should also include almost exceptional execution of welds in one pass. Execution of seams for. Domestic passes, i.e. In several layers, widely practiced in arc welding, almost does not find applications for gas welding, where the patch of the seam in the hot state is quite often used, which gives good results in some cases - an increase in the density of the weld metal and the safety strength.

The gas flame is less bright than the welding arc, the flame radiation does not burn the skin of the face, therefore the protection of the eye of the welder's eye with colored glasses is sufficient.


Gas welding

Gas welding

compound of parts with heating (melting) of welding places of gas flames obtained by burning various combustible substances in oxygen. There are hydrogen-oxygen, gasoline-oxygen, acetylene-oxygen and other types of welding. The greatest industrial use received acetylene-oxygen. Unlike electrical arc or other sources of energy, the gas flame heats the material slower and more smoothly. This determines the expediency of using gas welding to connect parts from cast iron, tool steels, when heated or slow cooling in the process of compounding the metal is needed. For gas welding, complex equipment is required (welding torches and gas from the cylinder are used), so this welding method is often used during repair work. A variety of gas welding is gas cover weldingproduced with precipitating (squeezing) after heating the connected parts - pipes, rails, etc.
