摘要: 

焊剂是埋弧焊的必需耗材。在焊接过程中,焊剂、熔池及电弧之间存在复杂的化学反应,因此,焊剂对焊缝金属的成分有着显著的调控作用。为了获得优质的焊接接头,有必要深入理解焊剂对焊缝金属成分的调控机理。本文综述了近年来在埋弧焊中焊剂对焊缝金属成分调控的研究进展,从热力学角度阐明了埋弧焊中O、Si、Mn、Ti及C等元素的过渡机制并阐释了大线能量下各元素过渡的冶金特性。同时,评估了现有针对埋弧焊的焊缝金属成分预测模型。最后,指出了进一步探索焊剂对焊缝金属调控机理所需要解决的基础问题。

Abstract

Flux is an indispensable consumable for submerged arc welding. Owing to the occurrence of complex chemical reactions between flux (slag), weld pool, and arc plasma, flux plays an essential role in determining the final composition of weld metal. To ensure a sound weldment, understanding how submerged arc welded metal compositions are fine-tuned by flux optimization is necessary. Herein, recent progress regarding the control mechanisms of fluxes on submerged arc welded metal compositions is studied. Particularly, the element transfer behaviors of major elements, including oxygen, silicon, manganese, titanium, and carbon, are documented from thermodynamic perspectives. Salient element transfer features incurred by the application of high heat input welding are interpreted. Moreover, the capabilities and limitations of prevailing compositional prediction models are evaluated. Finally, fundamental challenges to be explored further are discussed.
