The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of material engineering, and relates to a metal material processing method and device, and more particularly, relates to a welding-rolling integrated composite forming method for metal material and a device thereof.
As a common basic manufacturing technology, welding has been widely used in aviation, spaceflight, nuclear energy, ships and warships, automobiles and many other fields. However, it is well known that the mechanical properties of the welded joint, especially the dynamic load property such as fatigue load, are greatly reduced due to the welded joint inevitably has softening problem in welding heat affected zone and weld defects such as macro and micro pores and cracks. Therefore, welded joints are still weak parts of the key components. For example, for heat treatment strengthened metal materials, mainly including high strength aluminum alloy processed by solution and aging heat treatments, quenched and tempered high strength steel and ultra-high strength steel and other metal materials, are easily affected in the welding process by the welding thermal cycle, resulting in the softening problem of the welding heat affected zone. At present, the mechanical properties of the above-mentioned high strength aluminum alloy welded joints welded by traditional welding methods are only about 50% to 60% of the base metal. For another example, for the metals sensitive to hydrogen solubility with temperature changes, such as aluminum alloy, magnesium alloy, steel with high sulfur content and casting metal whose base metal itself contains shrinkage cavities and cracks, the welded joints of these metal materials are easily to produce weld defects such as pores and cracks, so that the mechanical properties of the welded joints, especially the dynamic load properties such as fatigue load, are only 20% to 50% of the base metal. In view of the above problems, in the actual production and application, the methods of optimizing welding process, increasing plate thickness and improving safety factor are mainly adopted to meet the requirements of parts design and service reliability, which is difficult to meet the development needs of high-end equipment manufacturing industry to save materials and reduce consumption, high service conditions and high service life.
In order to improve the mechanical properties of welded joints, scholars at home and abroad have carried out active and effective work on reducing welding heat input and adopting post-welding treatment. For example, for the heat treatment strengthened aluminum alloy, fusion welding methods such as laser welding with low heat input and cold metal transition (CMT) arc welding can make the tensile strength of the welded joint reach 65% to 75% of the base metal; using the solid phase welding methods represented by friction welding and friction stir welding, the tensile strength of the welded joint can reach 70% to 80% of the base metal by optimizing the technological parameters, and even some brands of high strength aluminum alloy can reach more than 90%; using post-welding treatment such as post-welding heat treatment, deep cryogenic treatment and shot peening, the microhardness, plasticity and microstructure uniformity of the welded joint can be improved in different degrees, of which shot peening can also reduce the welding residual stress and improve corrosion resistance of the welded joint, but the above post-processing means is usually complex and has slow process; and the post-welding heat treatment can affect the performance of the original base metal, which is difficult to solve the problems of welding pores and cracks at the same time; and also the above methods are restricted by the shape and structure of the parts, and the application scope is limited to some extent.
Plastic processing is an effective way to improve the properties of metal materials. The irreversible plastic deformation is applied on the metal materials by external force, which can significantly improve the consistency of metal materials, improve the casting defects such as pores, cracks and shrinkage porosity, and also cause grain deformation and distortion inside metal materials, increase dislocation density, induce fine grain strengthening and precipitation strengthening of the second phase particles, and improve the comprehensive mechanical properties of metal materials such as strength or hardness.
Therefore, if the welding method can be combined with the plastic processing method, it will be an effective way to improve the properties of welded joints. At present, the literatures related to welding and plastic deformation composite processing mainly focus on the preparation of composite plates. For example, in “High Frequency Welding-rolling Multilayer Composite Plate Production Device and Method (CN 201310403515.1)”, the purpose of the high frequency welding process is to realize the full-lap connection of multilayer metal plates; but rolling, as a typical plastic processing method, aims to improve the combining capacity between layers of multilayer composite plates, and at the same time achieve the preparation of multilayer metal composite plates with continuous length. However, there is a lack of research on welding-rolling method for strengthening the properties of welded joints.

Metal materials that can be implemented also include metal materials that are prone to generate welding pores and welding cracks, such as 2-series aluminum alloy, coated high strength steel plate and casting metal materials, etc.
Wherein, the welding process is carried out by the low heat input wire filling welding method combined with optimized welding technology. On the one hand, the low heat input wire filling welding method can obtain the welded joint with certain weld reinforcement; on the other hand, the softened region of the welded joint having the weakest performance can be close to the welding seam by optimizing the welding technology to control the welding heat input.
The low heat input wire filling welding method refers to welding with filler wire assisted by forced cooling such as water cooling, cold metal transition metal inert gas arc welding, high energy beam welding with filler wire and high energy beam-arc composite welding with filler wire, and other welding methods with filler wire having the same low heat input characteristics.

By using the plastic flow and deformation strengthening effect generated by the weld reinforcement of the welded joint in the rolling process, the precise control of the structure and properties in each area of the welded joint is achieved, and the defects such as welding pores and cracks can be improved also. The improvement of defects such as welding pores and cracks mainly refers to the realization of compaction and welding of micro and macro pores and welding cracks formed in welded joints and heat affected zones by controlling the deformation of the weld reinforcement.
