Abstract
Nonstandard schemes of ESW (multi-layer, well-like etc.) are mostly used for reconstruction repair of large-sized parts of heavy machine building. Through-thickness cracks are the most often type of fracture and they take place mainly in heavy-loaded machine parts being operated under alternating load. Such defects differ by large branching and twisting of the cracks as well as impressive sizes of fracture sections (2.5-6.8)р105 mm2. A method of muptipass consumable nozzle electroslag welding (MCNESW) is the most appropriate for performance of repair works. Science-based combination of developed technical and technological approaches in MCNESW realizing provides for weld metal with high ductility, homogeneous structure and hardness, absence of hardening structures in HAZ and defects in fusion zone. The method of repair of large through-thickness cracks in large-sized parts directly at operation site is successfully implemented at six enterprises. Technical scheme, workup level and versatile of technological process of MCNESW performance allows also recommending it for joining of thick metal during production of new welded metal structures. 16 Ref., 4 Figures.
