CMT TECHNOLOGY WITH FLUX-CORED WIRE FEED
Continuous cracks can be optimally repaired using CMT technology by using a fluxed-core wire of solder material with a filling consisting of or comprising solder material and base material.
1 . A method for welding a substrate, in which CMT technology with a flux-cored wire is used,
wherein in the interior of a sheath of the flux-cored wire there is a flux with a composition
which clearly differs from the material of the sheath and the material of the wire to be welded.
2 . The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
in which the flux-cored wire has a sheath of a solder material and
the flux comprises a mixture of solder material and base material of a substrate to be welded,
wherein solder material means that it has with respect to the base material a lower melting temperature by at least 10 K, or by at least 20 K.
3 . The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
in which through-cracks are welded.
4 . The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
in which a thermal treatment is carried out as a final process,
in which a soldering of the welded location is performed.
5 . The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
in which a wall of a turbine component, in particular of a nickel-based superalloy, is welded.
6 . The method as claimed in claim 1 ,
in which the proportion of the solder material in the flux is at least 10% by weight.
