PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a tube welding method and a tube welding device capable of enhancing the corrosion resistance by exerting the compressive residual stress in the axial direction in a weld metal portion on an inner face of a tube in the connection by welding tubes of large tube thickness to each other. SOLUTION: After root passes of tubes are welded, the surface of the tubes is quenched by spraying cooling water in the stage of high temperature immediately after the molten metal is solidified behind a torch to perform the welding on the outer surface of the tubes while cooling the inner surface by allowing cooling water to flow on the inner surface of the tubes. The compressive stress is generated on the outer surface side of the tubes to suppress generation of shrink-deformation in the circumferential direction of the tubes, and generate the compressive residual stress as the residual stress in the axial direction of the inner surface of the tube.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a seal welding method for a small diameter hole, by which the small diameter hole provided on the surface of a metal plate of a small article can be easily welded in a short time and can be surely and completely sealed, and a high quality welding part with the smooth surface after welding can be obtained, and to also provide its automatic welding device. SOLUTION: The seal welding method is composed so as to seal the small diameter hole by inserting a sealing plug 3 to the small diameter hole 4 provided on the surface of a metal base material 2 which is a lid plate or a flat plate of a container 1 for the small article. A circular or polygonal thin wall thickness part 5b, in which the vicinity of the small diameter hole is in a plane shape, is formed on the rear face side of the metal base material. A circular or polygonal overhanging part 3a, whose outer diameter is larger than the inner diameter of the small diameter hole, is formed to the head part of the sealing plug. The seal welding is executed by melting the sealing plug and the thin wall thickness part of the metal base material by an arc heat source from a welding torch after inserting the sealing plug into the small diameter hole.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To clearly monitor an arc beam, molten pool, grooves and a torch by taking in a groove image at a first shutter speed when the arc is off, executing addition for each pixel of the two-dimensional array, showing it in a monitor and taking in the pixel at a second shutter speed for conversion processing at the time of welding. SOLUTION: Before the start of welding, a power source 5 for driving a light source is turned on by a signal from an external interface 21, and the shutter speed of the control circuit 6 of a two-dimensional light receiving means is set at a first speed, so that the image of a groove is taken in. This image is added successively for each pixel of the same coordinate of the two-dimensional array (X, Y) between plural sheets of image. The final image data thus added are data-converted and outputted to a monitor TV for display. During the welding, the power source 5 for driving the light source is turned off, and the shutter speed of the control circuit 6 of the two-dimensional light receiving means is set at a second speed, so that the image of a groove is taken in. This image data are converted and outputted to the monitor TV for display.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To clearly monitor an arc during welding, molten pool, grooves in the periphery and a welding torch by photographing a weld zone with a two-dimensional light receiving means which is equipped with a beam shaping plate and an interference filter, in front of a means for emitting a laser beam by which the weld zone and its proximity are irradiated. SOLUTION: A laser beam emitting head 2 is equipped with a lens system in such a manner that a laser beam outgoing from an optical fiber cable 3 has a proper spread in the arc generating part 13. A beam shaping plate 8 is arranged integrally with the laser beam emitting head 2, while an interference filter 5 is arranged integrally with a two-dimensional light receiving means 4. The laser beam emitting head 2 and the two-dimensional light receiving means 4 are attached integrally with a welding torch 12 in the front in the welding direction. In observing with the interference filter 5 disposed in front of a CCD camera, the transmitting center wavelength is slightly different between the center of the screen and the periphery; therefore, in order to avoid this effect, it is recommended to use the interference filter 5 having a small half band width of the transmitting wavelength.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To omit an adjustment operation of the welding bead height near a final layer by controlling a feed volume and a welding speed of a welding wire while the variation of weaving amplitude is used as a controllable factor so as to make the height constant. SOLUTION: The variation of weaving amplitude L is detected by a weaving amplitude detecting device 17. The detected weaving amplitude L is fed to a general control device 14. The general control device 14 substitutes the detected weaving amplitude L to a welding wire feed speed calculating formula which is set and memorized in advance, so as to work out the welding wire feed speed. The command is sent to a welding wire feed speed control device 9 to change the calculated welding wire feed speed Vf. The welding wire feed speed control device 9 receiving the command for changing, controls the welding wire feed device 8 and changes the welding wire feed speed to Vf. The general control device 14 carries out the process repeatedly until the welding is finished, so as to make the welding bead height constant at the time of welding.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To detect the surface detect of a weld bead automatically, and evaluate the degree of the defect quantitatively by dividing a two-dimensional cut image into the line elements of plural straight lines to label the same, and extract line elements corresponding to machining portions so as to judge. SOLUTION: An irradiation optical unit control circuit 17 controls an irradiation optical unit 7 so as to irradiate a groove 6 with a slit-like ray 8. An observation optical unit 11 composed of a interference filter 9 and a two dimensional light receiving camera 10 picks up the image of an obtained optical cut line from above the groove 6. An image processing device 20 stores digital multi- value image data which is output from a light receiving camera control circuit 16 and is A/D-converted in a multi-value image storing portion 22, and simultaneously only a bright portion out of the multi-value image data is extracted by a binary processing portion 23. A processing portion 25 divides line elements containing curved portions into a line elements group of plural straight lines, labels the respective line elements and computes a feature amount representing the features of the labeled respective line elements so as to detect the shape and the size of a defect.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: To excellently detect the defect of the weld bead in an automatic welding equipment having a defect detecting device to detect the defect of the weld bead. CONSTITUTION: An automatic welding equipment to perform the welding action to control the copying of the weld line of a welding torch 4 based on the information of a groove position detecting sensor 7 and a defect detecting action to detect and display the defect of the weld bead based on the information of a defect detecting sensor 8 is provided with an integrated control device 17 which divides the welding action and the defect detecting action in a time- sharing manner and realizes them. Because the defect is detected when a traveling truck is returned after the welding, the defect can be detected at the desired distance intervals. Because no welding light affects the detection of the defect, the defect can be reliably detected. The defect is detected slightly after the welding, and the defects such as the weld crack can be surely detected.
