From the essay the author level, both engaged in welding for many years, passionately devoted to the cause of the old comrades have just joined the welding industry long passion rookie. Their love is holding an exhibition, a soft spot; their memories and gratitude for his swing and engaging, so deeply touched us; expectations and their message to the show, let’s not blinking, not only the past can not lie where the idle on the results, but also by “the tower alone, monopoly End of the World Road” state of mind to climb a peak in the next show. Also use the “wide pine does not regret, to eliminate the Iraqi people to languish,” the pursuit of the show even better, to meet the welding industry a better tomorrow.
Since 1987, the “Beijing Essen Welding Show,” in addition to display products and business activities, domestic and international welding technology exchange is an important window, showing the 20-year global product innovation process of welding technology.
The rapid development of 21st century science and technology and fierce market competition, we must pay more attention to China’s national welding industry innovation and competitiveness, more attention to integration of all relevant disciplines to advance welding technology innovation, more emphasis on the progress of China’s steel welding innovation requirements, and attention to long-term prospects for innovation in welding.

Brazing Alloy

First, in open market conditions, to pay more attention to welding and industrial innovation to enhance national competitiveness
In today’s world, more countries to promote open markets, the more the emphasis on enhancing the competitiveness of domestic enterprises to open up the world market.

In December 2005, the United States issued a new “National Innovation Act”, the Bill provides a series of administrative measures and increased funding to maintain U.S. global competitiveness and leadership. Commerce Department authorization bill for the development of modern manufacturing systems and use.

In 2006 the EU introduced an ambitious innovation plan “to turn knowledge into applications – EU wide innovation strategy.” The plan: by promoting knowledge-intensive products and services to the EU market leadership position in the world, as European companies to create the conditions for global competitive advantage.

Japan in 2006 issued a “Phase III Technology Basic Plan.” The plan in addition to the life sciences, information science, environmental science, materials science and nanotechnology as focus on promoting the area, but also the “manufacturing” as advancing the field. In the proposed policy objectives, included in the “making Japan the world’s first manufacturing country” and “relying on science and technology to enhance industrial competitiveness in the world-leading position,” the target.

So the 21st century, science and technology as core competence has become the focus of competition between countries.

In 2006 China’s State Council issued a 2006 to 2020 “Long-term Scientific and Technological Development”, asked after 15 years of efforts, by 2020 China an innovative country ranks. Program emphasis: building an innovative country, the core is to enhance the independent innovation capability as the strategic basis for the development of science and technology is to enhance the independent innovation capability as the adjustment of industrial structure, changing the growth mode of the central link, change the key technology depends on the person, the kinds of situation.

From the previous 20 years, “Beijing Essen Welding Show,” you can see, the size of welding industry has grown rapidly, the performance of a number of welding equipment have also made great progress. But a lot of welding equipment and a number of welding materials, welding is still well-known foreign companies with a large spread of products, as Lin Shangyang Academy of Sciences said: “The country must also see the lack of more advanced with their own brand of welding equipment, high-end welding materials and efficient welding technology, enterprises are using these advanced welding equipment and materials are mostly dependent on foreign imports. the surface of the domestic production of this brilliant welding technology hollow situation is a serious strategic weakness. ”

Therefore, how to go through ten years of efforts, China’s national welding industry as a whole to achieve “innovation-oriented country” requirement, the competent departments of China, the relevant units and Society / Association should be seriously considered and planning.

Second, the integration of advanced technology related disciplines, to promote innovation in welding

American Rand Corporation issued in 2001, “Global Technology Revolution” report, released in 2006 and “Global Technology Revolution 2020″ report. In two reports, the Rand Corporation that the global technology revolution is an important trend, is materials technology, nanotechnology, information technology, manufacturing technology and multi-disciplinary integration faster and faster, to accelerate the integration of this kinds of applied technology development is of paramount importance.

Recalling the history of development of welding technology, it can be said of its major processes, are integrated advanced technology related subjects. 100 years ago, in the late 19th to early 20th century industrial revolution in the electrical, will be used for arc welding, arc welding began the era. Mid-20th century, with advances in physics, began a variety of high-energy beam (electron beam, plasma beam, the laser beam) used in welding, so far in the ascendant. To the 1970s, with advances in information technology, to speed up the process of welding automation, is now moving to intelligent, flexible and fully digital control of the direction.

Carbon Steel Welding Rod

Former assistant manager Tsang Chinese Welding Society lok, who had been engaged in welding research, served as deputy chief engineer and part-time some of the Baosteel project consultant, he believes people of different professions and cross a lot of good work, call to learn German and American, participation of experts familiar with welding steel development, development of welding consumables steel experts, engaged in automatic control and mechanical design experts to participate in the development of welding equipment.

Welding industry in China is a major flaw, is the pattern of small enterprises, limited professional management, while relying on the lack of electric welding machine group companies (such as Japan, Panasonic), the lack of relying on Iron and Steel Group’s welding business (such as Japan, Kobelco, Bole Thyssen), lack of welding equipment and related set in one of the joint venture company (such as the United States, Lincoln, ATW Group). This basis and joint, not only can enhance the strength, more importantly, timely access to technology and components and new technology, new materials, support and promote the product’s “combination of innovation,” enhance the competitiveness in the international market.

How to make up for the shortcomings of welding industry? Should pay attention and take measures, including promoting the reform of enterprises and joint, to promote research in close cooperation, and expand information channels, to open up as the eyes, enhance the absorption-related disciplines and the sensitivity of advanced technology related industries, thus more efficiently to promote welding innovation.

Third, focus on the progress of China’s steel welding innovation requirements

China is the world’s largest steel welding state. According to the International Iron and Steel Association statistics, in 2006 the world steel production 1.239 million t, China’s steel production of 4.2 million t, accounting for 34% of world steel production has more than the United States, Japan, Russia, Germany, Britain, India and South Korea 7 countries, the total steel production. So the world’s leading welding companies to enter China in the welding market.

2010, China’s steel output will reach 500 million t, while China is trying to steel from steel power to a power of direction. 2006 Chinese Society for Metals and China Steel Industry Association jointly issued the “2006 to 2020 China Steel Industry Science and Technology Development Guide”, made of steel the next 15 years development goals:

1.2006 to 2010 the main objective the development of steel

To our existing welding materials and welding technology, control the development of the steel target, we can see there is a big gap (this limited space, not setting them). So the next 15 years China’s progress and performance of the varieties of steel, welding materials and welding technology and welding industry, is a great challenge. Must track the progress of the steel and promote the appropriate welding innovation.

Copper Brazing Alloys

Fourth, innovation and attention to prospects for welding

About the prospect of welding innovation in recent years have been many articles all have our say, last year, Lin Shangyang academicians and for the next 10 years the goal of independent innovation are discussed, this also involves the preceding sections of this issue, so will not repeat them. Only a combination of conditions, then a brief statement of the following:

1. Welding in addition to government and academic-oriented innovation, the market demand is the biggest driving force

The face of several million tons of steel each year a large workload and the need for welding rising labor costs, fully automated and efficient pursuit of welding welding welding innovation will become the main direction.

Now Japan, Europe and the United States in the use of welding materials, the proportion of manual electrode respectively less than 14% to 18%, indicating that automated and semi-automatic welding rate greater than 80%.

A few industries and some of China’s enterprises and semi-automatic welding automation rate to 70%. But the country, the 2006 consumption of welding consumables in the country, still accounts for about 55% of hand-welding, automatic and semi-automatic welding that is not the rate to 50%. Significantly accelerate progress in recent years, boldly predicted five years later, China’s semi-automatic welding automation and the rate will reach 70%.

2. Welding welding equipment and welding materials is the subject of innovation, but also the welding industry, the material basis of manufacturing technology innovation

Present in all developed countries, the use of solid welding wire for gas shielded welding a variety of automatic and semi-automatic welding, all welding work accounted for 50% or more. Strong momentum of development is a combination of methods: the “special coating (no copper) solid wires + multifunction digital inverter welding machine + the various implementing agencies.” Therefore, in this regard should focus on product innovation and series.

At present domestic and foreign manufacturers have introduced so-called non-copper wire, welding wire should be called the special coating, the coating composition is different because the manufacturers and surface treatment of the differences in the performance of wire are also different. Excellent performance of the coating and surface treatment process, not only from the anti-rust and lubricating effect, but also to enhance stability and reduce the arc welding spatter, and precision control of the digital transition inverter arc welding machine compatible, can achieve high efficiency , high current low spatter CO2 welding, flux-cored welding process to achieve the equivalent effect.

3. The development of new welding technology will replace traditional welding methods

1960s invention of the laser, after 40 years of development in the 21st century will enter rapid development period. As the laser welding or laser composite arc welding, with high efficiency, high-quality, narrow heat-affected zone, joint deformation and for a new generation of ultra-fine grain high strength steel welding and other metal material advantages, with the power of the laser generator , and the light of the development of economic, foreign, after it was predicted that in another decade or two, laser welding may be widely replace conventional arc welding.

4. New technology trends

Japan Science and Technology Policy Institute, “Science and Technology from 2006 to 2035 and long-term prediction”, the welding technology will be included in a high degree of social infrastructure and related manufacturing technology, the predicted number of new technologies to achieve the time. Which predicted in 2014 and 2015 to achieve the following new technologies:

(1) ships, bridges, fire equipment, the weight of large welded structure deformation, temperature deformation, welding deformation and residual stress, etc., to simulate and forecast accuracy, correction and non-free repair of manufacturing technology.

(2) the use of lightweight composite materials instead of traditional high-strength steel materials, manufacturing various types of machinery and equipment, buildings, ships and other large-scale structure of the technology.

(3) large-scale structure, using solid phase diffusion welding technology instead of the traditional combination of fusion welding techniques, combined with its deformation, only one-thousandth of the original.

Precision laser welding sheet structure

More than a few are from Utah State University Logan Utah

Stainless Steel Welding Wires

Lattice structure used to connect large technology welding, resistance welding, brazing, soldering and bonding, but the use of such technology in connection 0.25mm (0.010 inch) thick or thinner lattice structure of the foil material When is a problem. When using traditional welding techniques, the foil will melt wear, deformation, or a bad connection. As the current limitations of welding technology, materials, specifications foil lattice structure component design has become a limiting factor.

Brazing Alloy

Most welding is relying on the traditional production technology, will support staff and wire / strip as two separate parts welded together to form a lattice structure, shown in Figure 1A. Traditional welding methods require thicker connecting material, to avoid the formation of defects. However, if in order to facilitate welding to increase the thickness of parts, materials or design performance optimization can not be fully utilized. When the lattice design of thick-section structural components, the greater use of electric arc welding. When thin sections are often used in resistance welding. The production of the well screen, the resistance welding can not be seen as limited to the production of thick foil sections. Resistance welding requires high pressure and high current, and this high pressure would foil deformation. Since the melting of laser welding has also started to apply more solder foil material, but it is limited to a certain degree of joint geometry, because the assembly is very stringent accuracy requirements [1] [2]. The advantage of solder connections can form metallurgical bond, the heat pipe structure has good thermal conductivity. But the main flaw of all welding methods is when the welding heat can cause distortion. The characteristics of electric arc welding process used to reduce its feasibility foil welding.

Carbon Steel Welding Rod

To optimize the material and / or foil material lattice structure design, need for a new connection and production methods. Not the rod and wire / strip welded together, but the use of solid free forming manufacturing methods, the integration of the wire rod / strip, where it acts as an integrated weld on the rod, as shown in Figure 1B. Laser and powder material to form a solid weld, to achieve the connection of foil; weld acts as a rod, while foil is within the weld joints, the method and the choice of laser sintering (SLS), a similar effect.

2 inverter development

Inverter overall development trend is toward large-capacity, lightweight, high efficiency, modular, intelligent development and to improve reliability, performance and broaden the use of the core, more and more widely used method of arc welding, resistance welding, cutting and other processes. Efficiency and high power density (small) is an international welding inverter from one of the main objectives pursued. High-frequency and lower power consumption of the main components to achieve this goal is the main technical way. Currently, in Japan, Europe and other countries and regions, 20KHz about arc welding inverter technology has matured, the quality is high and the product has been serialized.

3 Problems

(1) quality: inverter welder although in some cases replace the arc rectifiers, but its reliability compared with the general arc welding machine there are still gaps. Inverter welder restrain the domestic promotion and a major factor is widely used welding reliability. Some well-known foreign manufacturers of inverter welding machine welding machine, continuous improvement, so that its reliability is close to the general welding failure rate, that is about 1%. Another problem is that compared with other countries, equipment, instruments, tools, tooling, testing methods, quality of personnel and the gap between the level of raw material components, are unable to guarantee the reliability of the welding machine, high failure rates.

(2) research and development: the development of broad prospects for inverter welding machine attracted a large number of universities and research institutes. However, due to inverter welding power combined electric and electronic, in the development of traditional experimental methods used not only to consume a large amount of manpower, material and time, and some experimental methods is difficult to detect and resolve. Therefore need to propose new design methods and tools.

4 responses

Inverter welding machine reliability and quality problems exist, the main reasons are: (1) immature technology, lack of new product development efforts; (2) design and manufacturing processes and structural arrangements wiring unreasonable to protect the areas not reached optimization with; (3) quality assurance system is imperfect, test test, backward; (4) raw materials, components (such as IGBT, MOSFYT, core materials, etc.) manufacturing quality is not reliable; (5) small-scale production, failed to use the production line and mold assembly debugging.

Therefore recommended the following strategies to solve: (1) pay close attention to human resource development and foreign information gathering, strengthening special, equipment research and testing base of the building to ensure product quality and performance; (2) theoretical calculations and experimental correction combine to make the decision level of reliability and quality of key aspects of the main circuit design and optimization of protection as reasonable as possible with the best use of computer simulation and CAD, can save debugging inverter design and manufacturing time and reduce the inverter main circuit components The burning; (3) improve the quality of the workforce, improve the detection means. Characteristics of power devices by electronic tester, the key device (IGBT |, fast diodes, etc.) for serious testing and selection, match. The use of circuit board components and dedicated testers and test machine for the aging test; (4) maximize the scale of production in order to use the production line, automatic operation of machines, molds and other advanced means to ensure product consistency and accuracy of manufacturing processes to ensure the consistency of each product quality and reliability.
