Abstract

A process for welding a component in which a recess is filled by welding tracks is provided. The process includes providing a recess with a contour which delimits an outer upper surface of the component with respect to the recess. The welding tracks are laid such that the welding tracks also reach the surface outside a contour of the recess and that a plurality of welding layers are used in order to fill the recess until a last layer protrudes completely beyond the surface.

Claims (20)

1. A process for welding a component in which a recess is filled by a plurality of welding tracks, comprising:

providing the recess with a contour which delimits an outer upper surface of the component with respect to the recess;

laying the plurality of welding tracks such that the plurality of welding tracks also reach the outer upper surface outside the contour of the recess; and

filling the recess using a plurality of welding layers until a last layer protrudes completely beyond the outer upper surface,

wherein the recess is covered completely by a first layer of welding tracks, the first layer covers the recess and protrudes beyond the upper outer surface outside of the contour, and

wherein the second layer covers the first layer inside the recess, the end of the second layer also protrudes beyond the upper outer surface outside of the contour, and

wherein each successive layer covers the previous layer inside the recess, the end of each successive layer protrudes beyond the upper outer surface outside of the contour.

2. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a first welding track is laid such that a first shape thereof corresponds to a second shape of the contour.

3. The process as claimed in claim 2 , wherein which a second welding track is produced within the first welding track, which corresponds to the contour.

4. The process as claimed in claim 3 , wherein the recess is filled in meandering fashion within the first or second contour-based welding track.

5. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein laser build-up welding is used.

6. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a main direction of the plurality of welding tracks of the individual plurality of welding layers lying one above another run at an angle of considerably greater than 0° to 90°.

7. The process as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the main direction of the plurality of welding tracks of the individual plurality of welding layers lying one above another run at an angle perpendicularly with respect to one another.

8. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the plurality of welding tracks of a welding layer are laid in a meandering fashion.

9. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of further welding layers cover a direct predecessor respectfully, completely.

10. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein a plurality of further welding layers cover a direct predecessor respectfully, partially.

11. The process as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the recess includes a plurality of flanks which do not run perpendicularly with respect to the surface of the component.

12. A process for a heat treatment of a weld seam, comprising:

producing the weld seam according the process as claimed in claim 1 ,

wherein the weld seam is recontoured before heat treatment.
