Ⅰ. Fusion Welding Processes
1. Arc Welding Technologies
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW)
- Efficiency: 60-70% deposition rate
- Electrode Types:
- E6013 (General purpose)
- E7018 (High strength steel)
- Case Study: Golden Gate Bridge used 3.2 million kg of E7018 electrodes
Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)
| Parameter | Single Wire | Twin Wire |
|---|---|---|
| Speed (mm/min) | 500-1500 | 2000-4000 |
| Plate Thickness | 6-300mm | 8-120mm |
| Flux Consumption | 0.5-1.2kg/m | 0.8-1.5kg/m |
Pro Tip: SAW achieves 95% efficiency in pipeline construction for Arctic-grade X80 steel
2. Gas Shielded Welding
GMAW/MIG Welding Modes
TIG Welding Parameters for Aerospace
| Material | Amperage (A/mm) | Gas Flow (L/min) | Tungsten Type |
|---|---|---|---|
| Titanium | 40-60 | 12-16 | thoriated 2% |
| Inconel | 35-50 | 8-12 | lanthanated |
NASA Application: Orion spacecraft hull welding with 0.1μm surface finish requirement
Ⅱ. Pressure Welding Methods
Resistance Welding Comparison
| Type | Pressure (MPa) | Current (kA) | Cycle Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Spot | 1-5 | 5-20 | 0.1-1s |
| Seam | 2-6 | 10-30 | Continuous |
| Flash Butt | 10-50 | 20-100 | 5-20s |
Automotive Case: Tesla Model Y uses 5,000+ robotic resistance spot welds per chassis
Friction Welding Innovations
- Linear Friction: A380 aircraft landing gear (Ti-6Al-4V to 300M steel)
- Stir Welding:
- 5-axis CNC control
- 400-1200 RPM tool rotation
- 300% stronger than MIG for aluminum
