1. Introduction to Large Furnace Body Riveted and Welded Parts

Large furnace body riveted and welded parts refer to closed or semi-closed thermal equipment used in industrial production for high-temperature processes (melting, heating, heat treatment, sintering, etc.). They typically consist of a steel structure shell, refractory lining, heating system, temperature control system, etc., with large dimensions (length often exceeding 10m), heavy weight (hundreds to thousands of tons), and high temperature resistance (800~1800℃).

2. Common Materials for Furnace Bodies

Materials must meet requirements for high temperature resistance (800~1600℃), thermal fatigue resistance, corrosion resistance (oxidation/sulfidation/carburization), and high strength.

Classified by components:

Advantages

Gas Tungsten Arc Welding (GTAW)

High quality, low deformation

Flux-Cored Arc Welding (FCAW)

Medium-thick plates (6~50mm) structural welds, on-site installation

High efficiency, strong wind resistance

Submerged Arc Welding (SAW)

Thick plates (>20mm) straight long welds (furnace bottom plate/shell)

Deep penetration, no spatter

 

3. Key Welding Process Steps

Pre-welding preparation: material cutting, forming, groove processing (precision control).

Thorough cleaning: remove oil, rust, water, scale, etc. from groove and adjacent areas.

Assembly positioning weld: use the same welding materials and process as formal welding to ensure positioning weld quality, with appropriate length and spacing. Check assembly gaps and misalignment.

Preheating (if needed): uniformly heat to specified temperature and monitor/record.

Welding process:

Strictly follow WPS and welding sequence.

Control interpass temperature (monitor and record).

For multi-layer multi-pass welding, carefully clean interpass slag and spatter. Ensure good weld fusion and avoid defects.

Monitor key parameters (current, voltage, speed, gas flow, etc.).

Key process controls

Preheating and interpass temperature: Stainless steel/high alloy steel: preheat 100~150℃ (to prevent cold cracking), interpass temperature ≤150℃ (to prevent intergranular corrosion). Carbon steel (Q345R): thick plates require 80~120℃ preheating.

Welding material matching: 310S stainless steel → ER310 welding wire (high nickel-chromium content, heat crack resistant).

Inconel 600 → ERNiCr-3 welding wire (nickel-based alloy specialized).

Deformation control: use "skip welding + symmetrical welding" sequence; preset counter deformation (1~2mm/m) when welding furnace bottom plates.

Large furnace shells use modular segmented welding; each segment is leveled after welding before final assembly.

Post-weld treatment: Austenitic stainless steel: no heat treatment needed (to avoid sigma phase embrittlement), but pickling and passivation required (to improve corrosion resistance). Carbon steel/low alloy steel: 600℃ stress relief annealing (to prevent deformation and cracking).

3. Sealing Assurance

100% of furnace welds undergo helium leak detection or penetrant testing (PT) to ensure airtightness (especially for protective atmosphere furnaces).

Continuous welds avoid interruptions; fillet welds use full penetration design.

Welding Process

Application Scenarios

Cutting Process Used

Flame cutting (CNC cutting), plasma cutting, laser cutting, shearing, sawing. High precision groove processing (such as milling edges, groove cutting machines).

Forming Process

Plate rolling (cylinders, cones), bending (press brake), pressure forming (large press), rolling.

Assembly and Fitting

Use large tooling fixtures and platforms (such as welding positioners, roller stands) to ensure the precise position and dimensions of each component. This is a key step in quality control.

Common Welding Methods

Application Scenarios

Submerged Arc Welding

Suitable for long straight welds and circumferential welds (such as longitudinal and circumferential seams of cylinders).

Gas Shielded Welding

MAG (CO2 or mixed gas), MIG (inert gas). Widely used, highly flexible (manual, semi-automatic, automatic), suitable for various positions and joint types.

Shielded Metal Arc Welding

Suitable for positions difficult to automate, short welds, and repair welding. Lower efficiency, relies on welder skill.

Electroslag Welding

Used for vertical welding of ultra-thick plates (such as box beam diaphragms).

Narrow Gap Welding

Used for butt welding of ultra-thick plates, high efficiency, minimal deformation.

Post-Weld Treatment

 

Stress

Large components generally require overall or local post-weld heat treatment (usually stress relief annealing), removal of slag and spatter, grinding of welds and surrounding areas to release residual welding stress, prevent deformation and cracking, and improve toughness.

Straightening

Flame straightening, mechanical straightening (press, etc.) to control welding deformation.

Machining

Precision machining such as milling, boring, drilling on key mating surfaces and hole positions.

 

We conduct nondestructive testing and inspection of products:

Visual Inspection

Surface defects (cracks, undercut appearance inspection (VT), porosity, arc pits, etc.).

Ultrasonic Testing (UT)

Detect internal defects (lack of fusion, incomplete penetration, slag inclusion, cracks, etc.), especially important for thick plates.

Radiographic Testing (RT)

Directly displays internal defects, commonly used for important butt joints.

Magnetic Particle Testing (MT)

Detect surface and near-surface defects (ferromagnetic materials).

Penetrant Testing (PT)

Detect surface open defects (non-ferromagnetic materials).

Destructive Testing (Sampling)

Such as tensile, bending, impact, hardness, metallographic tests (usually conducted during process evaluation or sampling inspection).

Dimensional Inspection

Check whether overall structural dimensions and key part dimensions meet drawing requirements.

Pressure/Leak Testing (if needed)

Such as hydraulic test, pneumatic test, airtightness test.
