Deformation of stainless steel during welding is a common problem, mainly due to factors such as thermal stress, residual stress and welding methods during welding. The following are the causes and solutions of stainless steel welding deformation: reason: Thermal stress: Due to the high temperature heating of local areas during welding, local thermal expansion will occur, causing stress in the welding area, thereby causing deformation. Residual stress: After welding is completed, residual stress will be generated near the weld. If not released or eliminated in time, it may cause overall deformation of the component. Welding methods: Different welding methods, such as argon arc welding, MIG/MAG welding, etc., have different effects on the deformation of components. Improper selection may lead to deformation problems. Improper welding parameters: Improper settings of welding current, voltage, speed and other parameters may cause the welding area to be overheated or overcooled, resulting in deformation. Solution: Reasonable design of welded joints: When designing components, reasonable welded joint structures, such as V-shaped joints, U-shaped joints, etc., can be used to reduce the thermal stress and residual stress generated by welding and reduce the possibility of deformation. Preheating and post-heat treatment: For stainless steel components of larger size or thickness, preheating before welding can reduce the temperature difference during welding and reduce thermal stress and residual stress; post-heat treatment, such as annealing and solid solution, is performed after welding is completed. Processing, etc., to release or eliminate residual stress and reduce deformation. Control welding parameters: Reasonably select and control welding parameters, such as current, voltage, welding speed, etc., to make the welding process uniform and stable and avoid deformation problems caused by local overheating or undercooling. Use appropriate welding methods: Choose appropriate welding methods based on component shape, material and welding requirements. For example, argon arc welding is suitable for situations where aesthetics are high, while MIG/MAG welding is suitable for situations where production efficiency is high. Introduce compensation measures: During the welding process, some compensation measures can be introduced, such as using supports, prestressed devices, etc., to help control the deformation of the welding area and maintain the stability of the component shape. Use an appropriate welding sequence: For large structures or components with multiple welds, an appropriate welding sequence can be used to avoid excessive stress on the welding area and reduce deformation problems. To sum up, reasonable design of welding joints, pre-heat treatment, control of welding parameters, selection of appropriate welding methods, introduction of compensation measures and appropriate welding sequence can effectively reduce deformation problems during stainless steel welding and ensure the quality of welded joints. and component shape stability. At the same time, various factors need to be considered comprehensively according to the specific situation to choose the most suitable solution.
