Abstract:In the fabrication and welding of conventional bridge steel structure, in order to meet the requirements of design and specification, ensure the penetration of weld seam and ensure the welding quality in the welding of main stressed components, it is necessary to remove harmful substances from the root of weld seam by carbon arc gouging. When using this welding process, the welding time is long, the welding material consumption is large, and the requirements for working space are large, and the efficiency is low. In this paper, the conventional welding root cleaning welding process is optimized and improved to meet the purpose of saving welding materials, improving work efficiency and reducing the factors that cannot meet the design and specification requirements due to welding space.
