Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for manufacturing finned tubes made of metal, in particular heat exchanger tubes, where at least one continuous strip forming the fins is fed tangentially to a tubular body set into rotational motion, and wound onto it, the side of the strip facing the tubular body is connected to the tube surface by means of a welding device and using a filler material, and the strip to be wound is guided between guide discs just behind the welding area, said discs reaching close up to the tube surface and the welding point. To increase the service life of the guide discs, the guide discs are cooled, specifically with cooling water to which roughly 10% by volume of a welding release agent are added.
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method of movable surface-friction welding for joining thin plates. SOLUTION: The method is applied in butt-welding two members 1, 2 to be joined. A probe 3 touching on a joint requiring line 5 is rapidly rotated to generate friction heat, so that plastic deformation is caused forcibly drastically in the surfaces of the members 1, 2. The plastic deformation permeates into the insides of materials so that the members 1, 2 are joined. Both members 1, 2 are continuously butt-welded by horizontally moving the probe 3 along the joint requiring line 5. The plastic deformation is generated only by the surface-friction, the deformation permeates into the insides of the members, and the members are joined. Thus, thin plates become weldable, and working defects at an welded end-part caused by using a probe pin are not generated. COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI
Abstract:
Superalloy components (40, 50) are joined by mating a recess (44) formed in one component (40) with a corresponding projection (52) formed in another component (50) along a contact surface. The components are compressed along the contact surface and resistance heat brazed to each other. Current is passed between the components (40, 50) at a selected flow rate and application time until brazing alloy (60) melting occurs along the contact surface, and they are mutually affixed to each other. When repairing a damaged surface portion of a superalloy material component (40), the damaged portion is removed to form an excavated recess (44). A repair splice (50) is formed, preferably of a same material with similar mechanical structural properties, having a mating projection (52) with profile conforming to the corresponding recess (44) profile. The splice (52) and substrate (40, 50) are resistance heat brazed under compression pressure until brazing alloy (60) melting occurs along the contact surface, so that they are mutually affixed.
Abstract:
The subject of the invention is a method of welding of elements (4, 5) for the power industry, particularly of sealed wall panels of power boilers and steam generators. The method according to the invention consists in joining tubes (5)that form sealed walls with flat bars (4) by means of a high power fibre laser (3), wherein welding is realised as a double sided plain butt welding with no bevelling of the faces being joined, at a speed of more than 1 m/min, while the laser beam is either irradiated into a molten pool, such pool being formed in the process of MAG welding with noble gas shielding, or the laser beam is trailing after the pool up to 10 mm behind it, with the MAG process electric arc positioned at an angle 6 of 40-80° in the XZ plane and at an angle of 6 of 40-80° in the YZ plane, where the weld is remelted with the laser beam positioned at an angle of incidence α of 1-5° in the XZ plane and at an angle Y of 1-5° in the YZ plane. In another embodiment of the invention filler wire is fed into the focal point of the laser beam and/or into the molten pool, and the process is realised in the manner described above.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a finned tube (1), a process for making it and a device for implementing the process. In the process, at least one endless strip (4) forming the fins is wound approximately helically about a rotating tube body (2) and the narrow edge of the strip (4) facing the tube body (2) is secured to the tube surface by a welding device (7). In order to be able to operate economically and to save energy and provide a product in which the fin is secured to the tube surface over the entire width of its foot in the best possible way and the joint region is a good heat conductor, the working end of the welding device (7) is guided in the free wedge between the tube surface (3) and the strip (4) to be wound thereon, whereby a weld bead (11) is applied by the welding device (7) to the tube surface using a weld metal before the narrow edge of the strip (4) is applied which runs exactly in the bonding region of the strip (4) and the tube surface (3). The narrow edge of the strip (4) is then pressed into the still molten weld bead (11).
