Abstract:

In this paper,the characteristics of the all-position automatic welding procsss for the titanium alloy tube sheet of heat exchanger were analyzed in detail,and some experiments were carried out by using a self-developed full-digital tube sheet welding system.Then,the effects of the main process parameters on the welding quality were explored,and optimal conditions for the welding were determined,that is,a peak current of 80~100A,a base current of 20~30A,a pulse current frequency of 5~10Hz,a duty ratio of 50%,a rotating speed of 3~4r/min and a pulse mode for the current rising and falling.Finally,the correctness of the optimal conditions was verified by the on-site welding of tube sheet of heat exchanger for a 1GW supercritical thermal-power generating unit.

Key words: heat exchanger, titanium alloy tube sheet, all-position automatic welding, welding process
