超导腔束管与法兰接头处Nb/Nb55Ti焊接工艺试验

Nb/Nb55Ti welding process test at the joints of tubes and flanges in superconducting cavities

  • 摘要: 超导腔是粒子加速器的核心部件,目前国内外针对超导腔的焊接研究主要集中于半单元间的纯Nb对接接头. 对于超导腔束管与法兰间的焊接研究较少,为了探索该接头处异种材料的焊接工艺,采用Nb板与Nb55Ti板垂直搭成的L形接头来模拟超导腔电子束焊接时束管与法兰的接头,在8,12,20 mA束流下进行试验,焊后对不同束流参数下接头的宏观形貌、微观组织、化学成分和显微硬度进行了对比分析. 结果表明,焊接电流为12 mA时焊缝成形较好,焊接电流较大时Nb侧热影响区晶粒长大较为明显;3组试样焊缝熔化边界处出现了晶粒外延生长的现象,随着焊接电流的提高,熔合线附近出现了粗大的柱状晶;在热输入较大时熔池内液态金属混合充分,焊缝宏观偏析得到改善;焊后Nb侧热影响区显微硬度值出现了明显的下降.

     

    Abstract: The superconducting cavity is the core component of the particle accelerator. At present, the welding research of superconducting cavity at home and abroad is mainly focused on the pure niobium butt joints between half cells. There are few studies on the welding between the tube and the flange of the superconducting cavity. In order to explore the welding process of dissimilar materials at this joint, the L-shaped joint assembled vertically by the Nb plate and the Nb55Ti plate was used to simulate the joint between the tube and the flange during the electron beam welding process of superconductingcavity. The tests were carried out under beam currents of 8, 12 and 20 mA respectively. The macroscopic morphology, microstructure, chemical composition and microhardness of the joints under different beam current parameters were compared and analyzed after welding. The results showed that the weld was formed better when the beam current was 12 mA, and the grain growth in the HAZ on the Nb sidewas more obvious when the beam current was high. What’s more, the epitaxial growth of grains at the fusion boundary appeared in 3 groups of joints. As the welding current increased, coarse columnar crystals appeared near the fusion line. When the heat input was large, the liquid metal in the welding pool was fully mixed, which could be improved macrosegregation in the weld. The microhardness of the heat-affected zone on the Nb side decreased significantly after welding.
