Characteristics and physicochemical properties of metal solid-state flow 3D rotary extrusion laser formed spiral finned tubes
1. Market application prospects
Such as high-end gas boiler liners, steam boilers, petroleum, chemical, coal chemical, shipbuilding, electricity, electric heating, various environmentally friendly smoke treatment, marine electromechanical, oxygen production, nitrogen production and other industrial gases, nuclear power plant steam water separation reheaters, super large refrigeration engineering and cold storage, large gas and steam turbines, gas appliances, efficient heat recovery and reuse systems. With the continuous progress of science and technology, traditional products with high energy consumption, low quality, and low lifespan will inevitably be eliminated, and will be revolutionized by more advanced innovative science and technology.
2. Intelligent fiber laser integration
Developed and integrated using single-mode fiber lasers for independent beam combining, the entire machine is integrated into an industrial computer control system. All intelligent controls such as 3D tangent direction tension control mold system, 3D speed differential rotary extrusion rolling mold system (redistribution of rotary extrusion rolling atoms), steel strip automatic breaking mechanism, spindle high inertia servo mechanism, pitch dual drive servo drive car mechanism, laser welding head, 6-axis CNC motion control system, welding process software package, etc. are uniformly integrated into the industrial computer distributed control system (DCS).
3. Solid metal flow 3D rotary extrusion laser welding forming process:
The metallographic structure of the metal changes little, the molten pool is deep, the heat affected zone is small, the fin spacing is small, the fins are thin (can produce thin fins of 0.3mm or more), and the real metallurgical bonding makes it more corrosion-resistant than products formed by other processes under the same material.
A. Features: The minimum fin spacing of laser welded spiral finned tubes can reach 2.0mm, and the thinnest can be welded to 0.3mm, which is incomparable to traditional high-frequency welded finned tubes (with a minimum fin spacing of 6mm). Compared to traditional spiral finned tubes with the same area, it has higher heat conversion efficiency, smaller volume, more space savings, significant resource savings, and longer service life, solving the problem of frequent maintenance.
B. Welding firmness: The high energy density of the laser beam allows for instantaneous metallurgical bonding between the two substrates, resulting in a very small heat affected zone and a deep melt pool. The atomic density of the weld seam is higher than that of the substrate.
C. Corrosion resistance (compared to high-frequency welding): High frequency welding is a stretching process that produces a large number of tensile cracks, extensive changes in metallographic structure, and non metallurgical bonding; The metal solid-state flow 3D rotary extrusion method involves redistributing and extruding atoms onto a steel pipe under external force, and then rolling them into three-dimensional ring-shaped fins. The finned tube made in this way has a higher atomic density and does not produce micro cracks inside the steel strip, so the spiral finned tube made of the same material is more corrosion-resistant.
4. Advantages and disadvantages compared to high-frequency welded finned tubes:
Advantages: The crown of the fiber optic industry and the king of the welding industry (patent number:. 12016 1 0664599.8) Quality is life, and service is the future of Aoxin laser welding experts!
Energy saving: High frequency welding machines typically have a power of several hundred kilowatts, which is more than 10 times more energy-efficient compared to high-frequency welding. They are green, low-carbon, environmentally friendly, and economical.
High heat exchange efficiency: The same material is several times more efficient than traditional high-frequency welded finned tubes, with true metallurgical bonding and small fin spacing.
Good corrosion resistance: Traditional high-frequency welding is formed by stretching, resulting in a loose structure of the finned tube structure. At the same time, it is not metallurgical bonded, so it is not corrosion-resistant and has low thermal conversion efficiency. The fins developed by Aoxin Laser using the metal solid-state flow method for 3D high-speed extrusion are formed by redistributing atoms based on the principle of metal solid-state flow method. The metallographic structure changes little, the welding pool is deep, and high-frequency welding can never be achieved.
Integrate the laser welding machine, all mechanical structures, welding processes, spiral finned tube forming processes, and all logical actions of the entire production process into one industrial PC system using industrial computers, achieving a higher degree of intelligence.
During the process of welding fins with laser, the ambient temperature is very low, there is no water vapor or smoke, and the working environment is clean and basically pollution-free. Disadvantages: A. The process is complex and the difficulty of developing equipment is extremely high. B. The initial investment is large, but it is of great significance for energy conservation, emission reduction, and environmental protection, and also meets the requirements of the international Paris Climate Agreement.
Extremely difficult to develop
It is extremely difficult to carry out processes such as transmission, steel pipe fixation, laser welding, metal solid-state 3D rotary extrusion rolling into fin technology, laser point positioning, steel strip starting, real-time proportional control of power and motion speed, and three-dimensional rotary extrusion rolling atomic redistribution of fins.
2.1. Steel pipe fixation:
The concentric precision fit of the mold and rotating spindle (with extremely high requirements) adopts a three roll automatic concentric positioning steel pipe and adjustable steel pipe tightness design.
2.2. Solid metal 3D rotary extrusion process:
Using the solid-state flow method of metal, the steel strip is rolled into a fin ring in three dimensions in a 3D speed differential rotary extrusion rolling mold under sufficient external force. All process actions are established in a three-dimensional multi axis CNC linkage system, ultimately forming a multi axis linkage laser welding spiral finned tube forming equipment.
2.3. The perfect integration of special mold forming and structural support is the most difficult process:
After exploring nearly 50 sets of molds, a solution was finally found, which wasted a lot of labor, materials, design, processing and other costs. After 3 years of development and 7 years of continuous improvement, it has reached the level of international competition.
2.4 . The spiral finned tube welding equipment of Aoxin Company has been developed and upgraded for the 5th generation, and has finally reached the "international competitive level", which can withstand tests such as salt spray, metallography, tensile strength, and corrosion resistance under the same material.
