Abstract

A repair welding method according to at least one embodiment is for a member in which a first end and a second end of a parent material are connected by welding and includes: a step of removing a portion including at least a part of a first heat-affected zone of an existing welded portion of the member; and a step of performing repair welding after removing the portion. In a cross-section including the parent material and the existing welded portion, all intersection portions between the first heat-affected zone of the existing welded portion and a second heat-affected zone due to the repair welding have an intersection angle between the first heat-affected zone and the second heat-affected zone of 70° to 110°.

Claims (19)

1. A repair welding method for a member in which a first end and a second end of a parent material are connected by welding, comprising:

a step of removing a portion including at least a part of a first heat-affected zone of an existing welded portion of the member; and

a step of performing repair welding after removing the portion,

wherein, in a cross-section including the parent material and the existing welded portion, all intersection portions between the first heat-affected zone of the existing welded portion and a second heat-affected zone due to the repair welding have an intersection angle between the first heat-affected zone and the second heat-affected zone of 70° to 110°,

wherein, in a cross-section including the parent material and the existing welded portion, the repair welding is performed from the parent material on a first end side to a weld metal of the existing welded portion, and

wherein an intermediate position between a position of the second heat-affected zone appearing on a surface of the parent material on the first end side and a position of the second heat-affected zone appearing on a surface of the weld metal of the existing welded portion is at the weld metal of the existing welded portion before removing the portion including at least a part of the first heat-affected zone.

2. The repair welding method according to claim 1 ,

wherein, in a cross-section including the parent material and the existing welded portion, an intersection angle between an extending direction of the second heat-affected zone formed in a weld metal of the existing welded portion due to the repair welding and a thickness direction of the member is 70° to 110°.

3. The repair welding method according to claim 1 ,

wherein a weld toe of the repair welding on the first end side is at the parent material.

4. The repair welding method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a step of measuring a shape of the first heat-affected zone prior to the step of performing the repair welding; and

a step of determining a removal range to be removed in the step of removing the portion including at least a part of the first heat-affected zone, based on the shape of the first heat-affected zone measured in the step of measuring the shape of the first heat-affected zone.

5. The repair welding method according to claim 4 ,

wherein the step of measuring the shape of the first heat-affected zone includes measuring the shape of the first heat-affected zone by ultrasonic flaw detection with a phased array method, or measuring the shape of the first heat-affected zone by developing the shape of the first heat-affected zone by etching.

6. The repair welding method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the parent material is high-strength ferritic heat-resistant steel.

7. The repair welding method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the member is a boiler tube.
