Below, the manufacture method of the electrode of the form of implementation of the present invention 1 of the device of formation describes to using as above.
At first, the state that the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a, 3b to be welded are docked from above-below direction with center line alignment of the two and end each other remains on the maintaining part 4.At this moment, make low-melting the 1st electrode part 3a (for example electrode support 61a, 61b) last, the 2nd electrode part 3b that fusing point is high (for example electrode pin 59a, 59b) is following.
Fig. 2 A illustrates the schematic configuration of maintaining part 4.And Fig. 2 B is that the 2B-2B of Fig. 2 A is to cutaway view.On base plate 40, be provided with respectively the 1st maintaining body 41a and the 2nd maintaining body 41b that the 1st electrode part 3a and the 2nd electrode part 3b are kept.Shown in Fig. 2 B, the 2nd maintaining body 41b has, have the vee-block 42b of V-shaped groove, the push plate 43b that can shake around fulcrum 44b and, the end of push plate 43b applied the helical compression spring 45b of active force.The 2nd electrode part 3b contacts with the V-shaped groove of vee-block 42b, under the effect from the pushing force F2 of another end of push plate 43b, is positioned in the horizontal plane on both allocations of (being parallel in the face of paper of Fig. 2 B).Shown in Fig. 2 B, the 1st maintaining body 41a is also same with the 2nd maintaining body 41b, has, have the vee-block 42a of V-shaped groove, the push plate 43a that can shake around fulcrum 44a and, push plate 43a applied the helical compression spring 45a (not shown) of active force; The 1st electrode part 3a is positioned on the interior both allocations of horizontal plane.Among Fig. 2 A, the 46th, have the bolt of pin thread, 47 are arranged on negative thread on the base plate 40, that screw with bolt 46.By the upper end of the 1st electrode part 3a and the following end in contact of bolt 46, the 1st electrode part 3a is positioned on center line 11 (center line of the vertical direction of passing through from the opening of base 10 please refer to Figure 1B) direction with respect to maintaining part 4.The 48th, the slide unit that can on the direction of center line 11, slide, the 49th, slide unit 48 is applied the helical compression spring of active force of the top of the paper that points to Fig. 2 A.Directed force F by making helical compression spring 49 ' act on the 2nd electrode part 3b through slide unit 49 can make the 1st electrode part 3a and the 2nd electrode part 3b act between the two under the state of set thrust and dock.Below, enumerate concrete numerical value as an example.Among Fig. 2 A, push plate 43a, push plate 43b width W 1, the W2 on center line 11 directions is 4mm, and the 1st electrode part 3a is 4mm from length L the 1, the 2nd electrode part 3b that push plate 43a stretches out from the length L 2 that push plate 43b stretches out.In addition, in Fig. 2 B, push plate 43b is advisable with 0.7 ± 0.2N to the pushing force F2 that the 2nd electrode part 3b applies, preferably 0.7 ± 0.1N.If pushing force F2 is less than 0.5N, then the positioning accuracy of the 2nd electrode part 3b in horizontal plane is low, is difficult to accomplish weld under the 2nd electrode part 3b and situation that the 1st the two center line of electrode part 3a aligns.And if pushing force F2 surpasses 0.9N, the thrust that then acts between the 1st electrode part 3a and the 2nd electrode part 3b is little, can't obtain good weld part as described later.Above-mentioned numerical value is an example, obviously, also can according to the size appropriate change of employed the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a, 3b it.
Fig. 3 A illustrates the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a that the state that docks mutually with the end is maintained, the end view of 3b.At this moment, between the 1st electrode part 3a and the 2nd electrode part 3b, effect has the power F that slippages mutually each other that makes of the directed force F of above-mentioned helical compression spring 49 ' produced.Thrust F is advisable with 5N~20N.
Shown in Figure 1A, Figure 1B, described maintaining part 4 is positioned in up and down in the mechanism 5.As keeping by maintaining part 4 couples of electrode part 3a, 3b and fixing mechanism up and down 5, being installed in mounting from downside has the opening of 3 laser radiation unit 1 and the central authorities of the base 10 of bell-jar 7.3 laser radiation unit 1 are the configurations radially of Center Gap 120 degree with center line 11, so that the center line 11 of the vertical direction passed through at the opening from base 10 of emitted laser 2 is intersected in same point separately.1st, the center line of the 2nd electrode part 3a, 3b roughly aligns with the center line 11 of base 10.In order roughly to align with the joint of 3 laser radiation unit 1 emitted laser the position (highly) of butted part on center line 11 directions that makes the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a, 3b, mechanism 5 will be maintained on the maintaining part 4 about utilizing electrode part 3a, 3b locate on center line 11 directions.The elevating mechanism of mechanism 5 can be any up and down, for example can use the travel mechanism that is made of motor and feed screw.
Secondly, inert gas (for example Ar) is imported in the bell-jar 7, make in the bell-jar 7 to be full of inert gas from inert gas introducing port 8.At this moment, the oxygen concentration in the bell-jar 7 is to be advisable below the 200ppm.
After being full of, make 3 laser radiation unit, 1 emitted laser 2 see through windowpane 6 simultaneously near the butted part of irradiation electrode part 3a, 3b or its.
The end view of the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a, 3b when Fig. 3 B illustrates irradiating laser.Among the figure, the zone 15 expression laser radiation parts of band oblique line.Laser radiation zone 15 can be aimed at the interface 17 of the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a, 3b, but preferably, be interface 17 part of below slightly as shown in the figure.More particularly, preferably, the interval D between interface 17 and the laser radiation zone is 0.3~1.0mm.
After the power output of laser radiation unit 1 adjusted, make it fusion near the butted part of heating electrode part 3a, 3b.The heating-up temperature of butted part for example is 2600 ℃ ± 600 ℃.
Be not particularly limited for laser irradiation condition, but for example be about electrode part 3a, the 3b butt joint of 2mm when welding at diameter (being a thicker side's diameter when the diameter of the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a, 3b is inequality), as the semiconductor laser light source of each laser radiation unit 1 use wavelength 808nm, power output 300W, laser irradiation time is about 10 seconds.And if diameter (being a thicker side's diameter when the diameter of the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a, 3b is inequality) is about electrode part 3a, the 3b butt joint of 0.5mm and welds, as 1 semiconductor laser light source that uses wavelength 808nm, power output 100W in each laser radiation unit, laser irradiation time is about 1 second.As mentioned above, preferably, change the power output and the laser irradiation time of lasing light emitter pro rata with the diameter of electrode part 3a, 3b.
In addition, the laser beam shape perpendicular to the section of direct of travel of laser 2 is to be that short-axis direction, perpendicular direction (horizontal direction) are the elongated shape of long axis direction with center line 11 directions (vertical direction).Here, described " elongated shape ", comprise rectangle, ellipse, Long Circle and, at least one side in rectangular two opposite side in opposite directions (being a pair of long limit and pair of short edges) is transformed to the shape that the circular arc of outside protrusion or akin with it curve form.At this moment, the diameter phi (big approximately 2mm) of being a bit larger tham the 2nd electrode part 3b that laser shone with the length WL of the long axis direction that is designed to this elongated shape is advisable.If WL 〉=1.2 φ are then better, and best with 1.2 φ≤WL≤2.0 φ especially.In addition, the length WS as the short-axis direction of elongated shape preferably is limited on it below diameter phi of above-mentioned the 2nd electrode part 3b, and is limited to more than the 0.05mm under it.Because the laser shape is elongated shape, therefore, can only heat with good efficiency to butted part.And, because the major axis of elongated shape perpendicular to center line 11, therefore, can shine the ground that complements each other with a plurality of laser radiations unit 1 is disposed radially simultaneously, the roughly complete cycle of the butted part of electrode part 3a, 3b is heated equably.Therefore, control the temperature of butted part easily, and do not need the such rotary driving part of aftermentioned form of implementation 2.The shape of aforesaid laser beam for example can penetrate known method such as installing lens on the window additional by the laser in laser radiation unit 1 and realize.
By the irradiation of laser, the part of the irradiation area 15 of the 2nd electrode part 3b is heated, and its heat is delivered on the 1st electrode part 3a via interface 17.Its result, the 1st electrode part 3a that fusing point is low relatively begins fusion.At this moment, outwards shift its part evaporation, remainder crystallization as the aluminium oxide in the cermet of the material of the 1st electrode part 3a.And the molybdenum in the cermet is with the two forms alloy as the tungsten of the material of the 2nd electrode part 3b.
In addition, in this welding process, under the effect that is applied to the thrust F on the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a, the 3b, the 2nd electrode part 3b of minor diameter will inject in large diameter the 1st electrode part 3a of fusion.And then because the 1st electrode part 3a is configured in the top, the material (particularly aluminium oxide) of the 1st electrode part 3a of the fusion the interface 17 near is out of shape downwards and shifts.Its result will be shown in Fig. 3 C, and the distortion downwards of the bottom of the 1st electrode part 3a becomes bell (hemispherical) of projection, forms the weld part 18 that is the state that wherein is inserted with the 2nd electrode part 3b.At weld part 18 places, the constituent material of the 1st electrode part 3a roughly covers the entire circumference of the 2nd electrode part 3b equably, and therefore, bond strength is upwards being stablized and is being improved in week.
After welding finished, mechanism 5 took off from base 10 up and down, and integrally welded the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a, 3b are taken off from maintaining part 4.The electrode that obtains thus being welded into (giving electric body).
[embodiment 1]
Below, the specific embodiment corresponding to form of implementation 1 is described.
The 1st electrode part 3a uses the conductive metal pottery bar-shaped part that constitute, diameter 1.2mm, long 8.25mm that is consisted of aluminium oxide 50%, molybdenum 50% (weight ratio) by composition.And the 2nd electrode part 3b uses bar-shaped part that be made of tungsten, diameter 0.71mm, long 22.3mm.
Laser radiation unit 1 uses semiconductor laser (wavelength 800nm, power output 130W), is that center interval 120 degree on horizontal plane dispose 3 radially with it with center line 11.(laser 2 of section configuration of WL3mm * WS0.5mm) is radiated on the two the 2nd electrode part 3b of interface 17 downward distance D=0.5mm of the 1st electrode part 3a and the 2nd electrode part 3b will to have rectangle separately.Laser irradiation time is 1.3 seconds.
The schematic cross sectional views of the weld part 18 of resulting electrode is shown in Fig. 4.Among Fig. 4, the 81st, Mo (molybdenum) layer, the 83rd, Mo (molybdenum)-W (tungsten) alloy-layer, the 85th, alumina layer.Can think that above-mentioned each layer is following generation.By the irradiation of laser, the 2nd electrode part 3b is heated, on its heat transferred to the 1 electrode part 3a.Its result, the 1st electrode part 3a fusion, cermet is decomposed into aluminium oxide and molybdenum.Aluminium oxide spreads to peripheral position, in the periphery segregation of weld part 18 and form alumina layer 85.On the other hand, molybdenum is in the central part segregation and when forming molybdenum layer 81, and the 2nd electrode part 3b between the joint interface place, on whole of the end face of the 2nd electrode part 3b, form Mo-W alloy-layer 83 with the tungsten of the 2nd electrode part 3b.The laser 2 that makes elongated shape can alleviate the uneven degree of circumferential heating near the 2nd electrode part 3b 3 direction irradiation butted parts, therefore, can form Mo-W alloy-layer 83 and the alumina layer 85 symmetrical substantially with respect to center line 11 (with reference to Fig. 1).In addition, because heating time is shorter, therefore can suppress the formation of alumina layer 85.Its result can avoid the external diameter of weld part 18 excessive, guarantees that (in the present embodiment, the external diameter precision is 1.2mm ± 0.2mm) for the dimensional accuracy of electrode.And the discreteness of weld part 18 characteristics of each electrode reduces.
As a comparative example, adopt existing Resistance Welding connection shown in Figure 9 to weld the 1st, the 2nd electrode part 3a, 3b same as the previously described embodiments.The schematic cross sectional views of weld part 18 is shown in Fig. 5 A.In addition, the partial enlarged drawing of Fig. 5 A is shown in Fig. 5 B.In this comparative example, central authorities form cavity 87, molybdenum layer 81 and, the Mo-W alloy-layer 83 that formed by the tungsten of molybdenum that comes out from the 1st electrode part 3a segregation and the 2nd electrode part 3b forms with the state that should cavity 87 fences up.Promptly, learn that by comparative example Mo-W alloy-layer 83 is not to resemble to form the foregoing description on the whole end face of the 1st electrode part 3a, the 1st electrode part 3a and the 2nd electrode part 3b the two, come down to approach with locality that state that so-called point engages is connected.In addition, the alumina layer 85 that comes out from the 1st electrode part 3a segregation is to be got up in the outside of weld part 18 and swell.Its result, the external diameter of weld part 18 increases, and can't reach whole accurate to dimension (diameter 1.2 ± 0.2mm).In addition, Mo-W alloy-layer 83 and alumina layer 85 are obviously asymmetric with respect to center line.
Mechanical strength for the weld part 18 of the electrode that is obtained by the foregoing description and comparative example is measured.Assay method is as described below.For electrode, the part by the 1st electrode part 3a carries out single-ended support, to the side of the 2nd electrode part 3b apply with the perpendicular direction of length direction on external force.Strengthen the size of external force gradually, the size of external force is estimated with this mechanical strength to weld part 18 when measuring weld part 18 damages.Its result, the mechanical strength of the weld part 18 of the electrode that is obtained by embodiment satisfies standard value, and the discreteness between the test product is little.With respect to this, the mechanical strength of the weld part 18 of the electrode that is obtained by comparative example is very different between each test product, if compare with mean intensity, compares with embodiment, and comparative example will hang down more than the 0.98N.Can think this be because, as embodiment, the Mo-W alloy-layer 83 that the mechanical strength of weld part 18 is had a significant impact forms on the whole end face of the 2nd electrode part 3b, thereby makes the weld strength of weld part 18 improve, and intensity stabilization.And for comparative example, can think, because Mo-W alloy-layer 83 is formed on the part of end face of the 2nd electrode part 3b, asymmetricly form with respect to center line, therefore, intensity and discreteness inequality thereof.
As mentioned above, by adopting the manufacture method of the electrode shown in this form of implementation, can improve the mechanical strength and the whole accurate to dimension of weld part, and can reduce the discreteness of characteristic.
