1. The current situation of the high requirements of the construction industry for structural bearing capacity
With the acceleration of urbanization, large buildings have sprung up like mushrooms after rain. In the field of high-rise buildings, super-high-rise office buildings, residential buildings and other buildings not only have to bear their own huge gravity, but also need to resist complex external loads such as wind and earthquake forces. According to relevant building structure design specifications, in areas where earthquakes occur frequently, building structures must have sufficient strength and ductility to effectively absorb and dissipate earthquake energy and prevent brittle failure. In strong wind weather, high-rise buildings face strong horizontal wind forces, and the bearing capacity of building structures is directly related to whether they can remain stable
In terms of bridge engineering, bridges need to bear a large number of vehicle loads and various stresses brought by the natural environment. The steel bars in the piers and beams of large cross-sea bridges and cross-river bridges need to withstand seawater erosion, strong wind impacts and dynamic loads generated by vehicle driving for a long time. If the bearing capacity of the building structure is insufficient, the bridge structure is prone to cracks, deformation and other problems during long-term use, which seriously affects the service life and traffic safety of the bridge. According to statistics, bridge safety accidents caused by the bearing capacity of building structures often cause huge economic losses and traffic paralysis.
In the field of infrastructure construction, such as urban subways, tunnels and other projects, the bearing capacity of building structures is also crucial. The steel bars in the lining structures of subway stations and tunnels need to withstand the pressure from the soil, the penetration pressure of groundwater, and the vibration load generated by train operation. If the bearing capacity of the building structure does not meet the standard, it may lead to serious consequences such as structural leakage and collapse, threatening the safe operation of underground projects and the safety of life and property of personnel.
2. Analysis of the principle of improving the bearing capacity of high-strength welded joints of reinforced butt welding machine
1. Accurately control parameters to create high-strength joints
The reinforced butt welding machine has laid a solid foundation for creating high-strength welded joints by accurately controlling key parameters such as welding current, time and pressure. The size of the welding current directly affects the heating speed and temperature of the steel bar end. The appropriate current can quickly heat the steel bar end to the appropriate welding temperature, ensure that the metal atoms are fully activated, and provide good conditions for subsequent connections. The precise grasp of the welding time determines the degree and uniformity of heating of the steel bar end, avoiding local overheating or insufficient heating. The application of pressure plays a role in compacting the ends of the steel bars and promoting the diffusion and bonding of metal atoms during the welding process. By precisely controlling these three key parameters, the reinforced butt welding machine can make the strength of the welded joint close to or even exceed the strength of the steel bar parent material. During the continuous flash butt welding process, the air is discharged from the steel bar ends during the flash stage, which effectively reduces the impact of metal oxidation. Metal oxidation will form an oxide film on the surface of the steel bars, reducing the bonding force between the steel bars, and the air is discharged during the flash stage, reducing the generation of the oxide film. During the top forging, the strong pressure discharges the oxide out of the weld with the liquid metal, greatly reducing defects such as weld inclusions and incomplete penetration. Weld inclusions will form weak points inside the weld, which are easy to cause crack propagation when subjected to force, and incomplete penetration directly weakens the effective bearing area of the welded joint. By reducing these defects, the reinforced butt welding machine makes the internal structure of the welded joint more dense and uniform, thus having higher strength.
2. Significant advantages over traditional manual welding
Relevant experimental data show that the tensile strength of steel bar joints welded by reinforced butt welding machines can be increased by 20% - 30% compared with traditional manual welding joints. Traditional manual welding is affected by many factors such as the welder's technical level and operating environment, and the welding quality fluctuates greatly. During the welding process, it is difficult for welders to accurately control the welding current, time and pressure, and welding parameters are prone to instability. In manual arc welding, welders hold the welding rod for welding, and it is difficult to ensure that the angle and distance between the welding rod and the steel bar are always consistent, which leads to unstable welding current, which in turn affects the quality of the welded joint. The reinforced butt welding machine adopts an automated or semi-automated control method, which can strictly follow the preset parameters to ensure the stable and reliable quality of each welded joint. In the welding process of traditional manual welding, problems such as metal oxidation and slag inclusion are more common. Because it is difficult to create a good protective atmosphere during manual welding, the oxygen in the air easily reacts with the high-temperature steel bars to form an oxide film. At the same time, the slag generated during the welding process is also easy to remain in the weld to form inclusions. These defects will seriously reduce the strength and toughness of the welded joint, making it easy for the welded joint to be damaged when the building structure is under load. In contrast, the continuous flash butt welding and upsetting process of the reinforced butt welding machine can effectively solve these problems, greatly improve the quality and strength of the welded joint, and thus significantly improve the bearing capacity of the building structure.
3. The development potential of high-strength welded joints of reinforced butt welding machines under market trends
1. Intelligent control improves the stability of welding quality
With the continuous advancement of science and technology, reinforced butt welding machines will develop in the direction of intelligence. In the future, reinforced butt welding machines will be equipped with more advanced intelligent control systems, which can monitor the current, voltage, temperature and other parameters in the welding process in real time, and automatically adjust the welding parameters according to the material, diameter and other information of the steel bar, so as to further improve the quality stability of the welded joints. Through the Internet of Things technology, the welding machine can exchange data with the management system of the construction site, and the management personnel can remotely monitor the operation status and welding quality of the welding machine, find and solve problems in time, and ensure that each welded joint meets high standards.
In complex construction sites, environmental factors are changeable, and traditional welding methods are difficult to adapt to such changes. The intelligent reinforced butt welding machine can automatically adjust the welding parameters according to the changes in environmental factors. When the temperature at the construction site is high, the intelligent control system can appropriately reduce the welding current to avoid overheating of the steel bar; when the humidity is high, adjust the welding time to ensure that the welding quality is not affected. This intelligent control will further improve the quality of high-strength welded joints of reinforced butt welding machines, thereby providing more reliable guarantees for the improvement of the bearing capacity of building structures.
2. Energy-saving and environmental protection technology promotes sustainable development
Under the background of global advocacy of energy conservation and environmental protection, while improving the strength of welded joints, reinforced butt welding machines will continue to explore the application of energy-saving and environmental protection technologies. By optimizing the circuit design and transformer structure of the welding machine, the efficiency of electric energy conversion can be improved and energy consumption can be reduced. The use of new energy-saving resistance welding transformers can reduce energy consumption by 10% - 20% compared with traditional welding machines. At the same time, environmentally friendly welding materials and processes are developed to reduce the emission of harmful gases and smoke generated during welding, improve the working environment of the construction site, and achieve sustainable development of the construction industry.
3. Technological innovation to meet diversified construction needs
With the continuous development of the construction industry, building forms and structures are becoming more and more diversified, and the requirements for steel bar connection technology are also increasing. reinforced butt welding machines will continue to innovate in technology to meet diversified construction needs. Develop special welding machines that can weld special-shaped steel bars. In some special-shaped building structures, the shape of the steel bars is complex, and traditional welding machines are difficult to meet the welding requirements. Special welding machines can achieve high-quality welding of special-shaped steel bars through special electrode design and welding processes to ensure the strength and quality of welded joints. In addition, for some construction projects with special requirements for fire prevention and explosion prevention, reinforced butt welding machines with corresponding protection functions are developed to ensure welding safety and joint quality in special environments.
In some modern architectural designs, special-shaped steel bar structures are used in pursuit of unique architectural shapes. Traditional reinforced butt welding machines are difficult to weld these special-shaped steel bars with high quality, while special welding machines after technological innovation can design special electrodes and welding processes according to the shape characteristics of special-shaped steel bars to ensure that the strength and quality of the welded joints reach or even exceed the level of traditional steel bar connections. In some construction projects with strict requirements for fire prevention and explosion prevention, such as chemical plants and nuclear power plants, reinforced butt welding machines with corresponding protection functions can perform safe and reliable welding in special environments, providing guarantees for the bearing capacity of building structures.
