Abstract

A welding device including a cylindrical powder nozzle ( 201 ) that supplies a powder gas containing a powder welding material toward a laser beam irradiation position of a base material and a cylindrical shield nozzle ( 202 ) that is arranged coaxially so as to cover an outer peripheral surface of the powder nozzle ( 201 ) and supplies a shielding gas for isolating the laser beam irradiation position, in which an outer peripheral surface ( 201 b) in the vicinity of a distal end portion ( 201 a) of the powder nozzle ( 201 ) has a shape whose outer diameter gradually decreases toward a distal end portion ( 201 a) of the powder nozzle ( 201 ) and has an arc-shaped section on a section passing through a center axis (A) of the powder nozzle ( 201 ) is provided.

Claims (14)

1 . A welding device comprising:

a cylindrical powder nozzle that supplies a powder gas containing a powder welding material to a laser beam irradiation position of a welding target; and

a cylindrical shield nozzle that is arranged coaxially so as to cover an outer peripheral surface of the powder nozzle and supplies a shielding gas for isolating the laser beam irradiation position, wherein

the outer peripheral surface in the vicinity of a distal end portion of the powder nozzle has a shape whose outer diameter gradually decreases toward the distal end portion of the powder nozzle and has an arc shape on a section passing through a center axis of the powder nozzle.

2 . The welding device according to claim 1 , wherein

an inner peripheral surface in the vicinity of the distal end portion of the powder nozzle has a shape whose inner diameter gradually increases toward the distal end portion of the powder nozzle and has an arc shape on the section passing through the center axis of the powder nozzle.

3 . A welding device comprising:

a cylindrical powder nozzle that supplies a powder gas containing a powder welding material to a laser beam irradiation position of a welding target; and

a cylindrical shield nozzle that is arranged coaxially so as to cover an outer peripheral surface of the powder nozzle and supplies a shielding gas for isolating the laser beam irradiation position, wherein

an eddy suppressing member that suppresses occurrence of an eddy by the shielding gas is provided on an inner peripheral surface in the vicinity of a distal end portion of the shield nozzle.

4 . The welding device according to claim 3 , wherein

the eddy suppressing member includes a plurality of projecting portions that protrude toward the center axis of the shield nozzle.

5 . A welding method including a welding step in which a powder gas containing a powder welding material is supplied to a joining portion between a body portion of a turbine blade front edge portion and an erosion-resistant metal material and the body portion and the erosion-resistant metal material are clad welded by using the welding device according to claim 1 .

6 . A turbine blade in which an erosion-resistant metal material is clad welded by the welding method according to claim 5 .
