RESUMO
In this paper, the best fixture scheme for the TIG welding torch of nickel-base solid solution superalloy GH3536 in the welding process is explored. First of all, to meet the extremely high-dimensional accuracy requirements of the flame cylinder, a multifield coupling analysis model based on the flame cylinder is established on SYSWELD software. By studying the stress and deformation of welded parts under different line constraint positions and applied pressure, the trend of welding deformation is obtained, and the relevant mathematical model is established based on this. Finally, the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm is used to calculate the best fixture scheme to make the welding stress and deformation better. The simulation results show that the welding deformation is negatively related to the line constraint distance and positively related to the applied pressure. According to the optimized clamping scheme of PS0, through simulation calculation, the average axial deformation is reduced by 82.5%, the maximum radial shrinkage deformation is reduced by 60.6%, and the maximum residual stress is reduced by 60.3%. Finally, it is verified by the flame barrel experiment that it meets the acceptance requirements and successfully solves the problem of serious axial shrinkage during the TIG welding of the outer ring of the flame barrel.
