As described above, the weld toe portion of the out-of-plane gusset welded joint is subjected to a striking process, so that the shape of the weld toe portion becomes a smooth (curved) shape in which stress is difficult to concentrate, and the weld toe portion And the tensile residual stress of the vicinity is relieved and the compressive residual stress is provided. As a result, the occurrence of cracks from the weld toe and the vicinity thereof can be prevented, and the fatigue characteristics can be improved. With such a method, the fatigue life drop due to the occurrence of fatigue cracks from the weld toe is greatly suppressed, and the fatigue characteristics are greatly improved. There was a limit to improvement.
In order to further improve the fatigue characteristics of the out-of-plane gusset welded joint, the present inventors examined the fatigue life of the weld toe of the turn welded portion of the out-of-plane gusset welded joint by applying ultrasonic impact treatment. As a result, it was found that many fatigue cracks occurred from the weld root, preventing improvement of fatigue properties. In other words, the cracking process from the weld toe part was suppressed by the hammering process on the weld toe part, so a fatigue crack was generated from the weld root part where the fatigue crack is likely to occur next to the weld toe part. And it has been found that it affects the fatigue life of out-of-plane gussets.
With regard to the occurrence of fatigue cracks from the weld root part of such fillet welds, if the weld part of fillet welds is a fully-penetrated weld part, the weld root part is eliminated and fatigue characteristics can be improved. it is obvious. However, when performing full penetration welding, it is necessary to perform groove processing over a wide range, and it takes a long time for the welding operation, and it is difficult to restrain the gusset plate during temporary welding of the gusset plate. Therefore, the burden of welding work is large and the cost increases.
In the present invention, in view of the above situation, an out-of-plane gusset welded joint that has been subjected to a hammering process on the weld toe to improve the fatigue characteristics, and further provides a welded joint with improved fatigue characteristics and a method for manufacturing the same. With the goal.

The present inventors have studied an efficient method for eliminating stress concentration on the weld root.
6A and 6B are schematic cross-sectional views illustrating stress concentration on the turn welded portion 10 of the out-of-plane gusset welded joint 1 when repeated stress is applied. As shown in FIG. 6A, the present inventors set the position of the welding root portion 8 from the conventional position C (the longitudinal end of the gusset plate 3 on the base plate 2 side) shown in FIG. It has been found that the fatigue characteristics can be improved by moving to the position B inside the plate 3 and controlling the leg length of fillet welding. That is, as shown in FIG. 6A, by controlling the leg length of fillet welding, the steepness of the stress dispersion path is alleviated to avoid stress concentration on the weld root portion 8, and the throat thickness is effectively increased. ing. Therefore, the crack generation | occurrence | production in the welding root part 8 and a throat thick part can be suppressed. Therefore, the effect of the striking treatment on the weld toe can be sufficiently exhibited, and the fatigue characteristics can be further improved. As a result of the above examination, the present inventors have reached the present invention.
That is, the gist of the present invention is as follows.

Place the set plate, said scheduled leg length d ₂ of the gusset plate side subjected to fillet weld to be above the notch height a, the leg length d ₂ of the gusset plate side _'is a plate of the gusset plate The leg length d ₂ ′, the leg length d ₁ ′ on the base plate side, the penetration length x ′, and the penetration angle θ ′ are equal to or more than 1/3 of the thickness t ₂ and less than the plate width w of the gusset plate. Forming the fillet welded portion having a turn welded portion satisfying '+ d ₁ '> d ₂ '/ sin θ'; at least a weld toe portion on the base plate side of the turn welded portion of the fillet welded portion A hitting process is performed.
(2) In the method for manufacturing an out-of-plane gusset welded joint described in (1) above, the notch angle θ may be not less than 45 ° and not more than 75 °.

(3) An out-of-plane gusset welded joint according to an aspect of the present invention includes a base plate and a height direction perpendicular to the surface of the base plate that protrudes from the surface of the base plate, and the plate width w direction and the direction plate longitudinal der orthogonal to the direction of the plate thickness t ₂ is, the plate longitudinal direction of the base plate-side gusset plate end to the cutout portion is plate-shaped, which is provided in the end of, comprises a fillet weld with a turning weld, said in the turning weld fillet weld, all of the notch in the plate longitudinal ends of the gusset plate is the fillet weld The leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side is not less than 1/3 of the plate thickness t ₂ of the gusset plate and not more than the plate width w of the gusset plate, and the leg length d ₂ ' Wherein the base plate side leg d _{1 'and} the gusset plate of the plate longitudinal penetration length x' and penetration angle theta 'and is, x' satisfies _{+ d 1 '> d 2'} / sinθ ', and the corner Of the meat welded portion, a hammering trace is formed at least at the weld toe portion on the base plate side of the turning welded portion.
(4) In the out-of-plane gusset weld joint described in (3) above, the penetration angle θ ′ may be not less than 30 ° and not more than 75 °.
However, at the end of the longitudinal section of the gusset plate, the penetration length x ′ is from the weld toe portion 7 ′ on the gusset plate side to the welding root portion 8 from the point C ′ that is the foot of the perpendicular line dropped to the base plate. Is the length of The penetration angle θ ′ is an angle formed by the line segment 7′8 and the line segment 8C ′. Further, the notch height a is a height from the surface of the base plate to the notch position A of the notch portion of the gusset plate.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described.
1, the plate longitudinal direction of a longitudinal section of the gusset plates 3 of plane gusset welded joint 1 in Figure 4B, i.e., a schematic diagram illustrating an A-A cross section viewed in FIG. 4B, blow to weld toe 7 The state before processing is shown. FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a cross section taken along the line B-B in FIG. 4D, and shows a state in which a hammering process is performed on the weld toe 7 and a hammering process mark is formed.

  In one embodiment of the present invention, in order to improve the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint, a notch portion is provided in the corner portion of the gusset plate to ensure a large throat thickness, and the concentration of repeated stress on the weld root portion is reduced. ing. That is, as can be seen from FIGS. 6A and 6B, the throat thickness increases. The throat thickness is defined in JIS Z 3001 as the distance from the root of the fillet weld cross section (welding route portion 8) to the surface, and is the distance t in FIG. Therefore, depending on the position of the weld toe 7, 7 ′ where the weld metal surface and the base metal surface intersect and the weld metal penetration shape, the shortest distance from the weld root 8 to the weld metal surface is It may be the distance between the weld toe 7 or the distance between the weld root 8 and the weld toe 7 '. That is, the point 13 (end point of the throat thickness) on the surface of the weld metal 5 where the distance from the weld root 8 to the surface of the weld metal 5 is the same as the weld toe 7 or the weld toe 7 ′. There is a case.

In FIG.1 and FIG.2, each point and each dimension in the weld metal 5 are defined as follows. The position of the weld toe 7 on the base plate 2 side is point 7, the position of the weld toe 7 'on the gusset plate 3 side is point 7', the position of the welding root 8 is point 8, and the weld stop on the gusset plate 3 side A perpendicular foot dropped from the end 7 'to the surface of the base plate 2 before welding (line segment 78) is defined as a point C'. Further, the distance between the weld root 8 after welding and the point C ′ is the penetration length x ′ (mm), the angle between the line segment 7′8 and the line segment 8C ′ is the penetration angle θ ′ (°), the line The size of the segment 7C ′ is defined as the leg length d ₁ ′ (mm) on the base plate 2 side, and the size of the line segment 7 ′ C ′ is defined as the leg length d ₂ ′ (mm) on the gusset plate 3 side. The leg length is defined as the distance from the point C ′ to the fillet weld toe (weld toe 7, 7 ′). As described later, a gusset plate 3 provided with a notch 4 under various conditions such as welding conditions and leg lengths was fillet welded to the base plate 2 to produce a welded joint 1 as shown in FIG. After subjecting the weld toe portion 7 ′ of the rotating welded portion 10 of the welded joint 1 to ultrasonic impact treatment, the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint 1 as shown in FIG. 2 were investigated by a fatigue test. Also, leg length _{d 1} of the base plate 2 side '(mm), leg length _{d 2} of the gusset plate 3 side' (mm), penetration angle θ '(°), penetration length x' respectively of the fatigue properties of (mm) The relationship was investigated. In addition, the turn welding part 10 consists of the welding part formed by turn welding, and the welding part formed in the end surface of the plate longitudinal direction of a gusset plate.

As a result, the welded joint 1 obtained by welding with the gusset plate 3 provided with the notch 4 can be thicker than the welded joint without the gusset plate with the notch, It was found that the fatigue characteristics were excellent. However, when the leg length d ₁ ′ is small, the end point (point 13 in FIG. 8) of the thick throat portion (the portion where the weld metal 5 is the thinnest) is the side of the base plate 2 where generation of fatigue cracks is most concerned from the gusset plate 3 side. The weld toe 7 may be approached. Therefore, it has been found that it is not preferable to reduce the leg length d ₁ ′ from the viewpoint of improving the fatigue characteristics of the weld toe 7 on the base plate 2 side.
For this reason, in this embodiment, the position of the weld toe 7 on the base plate 2 side after welding and the minimum penetration so that the penetration length x ′ and the leg length d ₁ ′ satisfy the following formula <1>. The amount is prescribed. Thereby, it can avoid that the end point 13 of a throat thick part becomes the welding toe part 7 by the side of the baseplate 2, and the outstanding fatigue characteristic can be ensured.
x ′ + d ₁ ′> d ₂ ′ / sin θ ′... <1>
Further, the penetration length x ′ and the leg length d ₁ ′ may satisfy the following formula <1 ′>.
x ′ + d ₁ ′ <10 d ₂ ′ / sin θ ′... <1 ′>

The deeper the penetration into the gusset plate 3 (the movement of the melting line 6 into the gusset plate 3), the smaller the penetration angle θ ′, which is preferable in terms of securing the throat thickness. However, for example, it takes time for the groove processing required in advance, multiple welding passes are required to ensure penetration, and it takes time to restrain the members before welding. The time will be longer. Therefore, the penetration angle θ ′ is preferably 35 ° to 60 °. Further, when the penetration angle θ ′ exceeds 75 °, the penetration length x ′ is small. Therefore, it is necessary to increase the leg length d ₂ ′ in order to ensure a sufficiently large throat thickness. It takes a lot of work.

The present inventors further investigated the influence of leg length in a welded joint including a gusset plate having a notch in order to improve the fatigue characteristics of an out-of-plane gusset welded joint. That is, using a gusset plate provided with a notch, the welding leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side is between 1/3 times the plate thickness t ₂ of the gusset plate and 5/7 times the plate thickness t _2. Fillet welding was carried out by changing the width, and a welded joint was manufactured. The penetration angle θ ′ was changed between 30 ° and 75 ° so as to satisfy the expression <1>, and the leg length d ₁ ′ on the base plate side was made substantially constant. After subjecting the weld toe of the welded joint of the welded joint thus manufactured to ultrasonic hitting treatment to improve the fatigue characteristics, the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint were investigated by a fatigue test.

As a result, in a welded joint using a gusset plate provided with a notch, if the leg length on the gusset plate side is small, a large stress flows in the thick throat as shown in FIG. 6C, and the weld toe on the gusset plate 3 side A fatigue crack may be generated from the vicinity of the portion 7 ′, or a fatigue crack may be generated from the weld root portion 8, and the weld metal 5 may be penetrated. Therefore, it has been found that it is not preferable to reduce the leg length on the gusset plate side in terms of improving the fatigue characteristics. For this reason, as a result of further examination of the leg length on the gusset plate side, the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side is set to 1/3 or more of the thickness t ₂ of the gusset plate in order to reduce the stress flowing through the throat thick part of the weld metal. It has been found that the fatigue characteristics are greatly improved.
For this reason, in the present embodiment, the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side is 1/3 or more of the plate thickness t ₂ of the gusset plate. In the out-of-plane gusset welded joint of the present embodiment, the stress concentration at the throat thick part can be reduced by determining the leg length on the gusset plate side based on the thickness of the gusset plate. Therefore, the improvement effect of the fatigue characteristics by the striking treatment to the weld toe 7 is effectively exhibited, and the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint can be greatly improved. In consideration of the dimensions of the gusset plate, the leg length d ₂ ′ is equal to or less than the plate width w of the gusset plate. Further, the thickness t _{2 of the} gusset plate is t ₂ ≦ 3d ₂ ′ ≦ 3w.

In the out-of-plane gusset weld joint of the present embodiment, the relationship between the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side and the plate thickness t _{2 of the} gusset plate is defined as described above, the penetration length x ′, and the penetration angle θ ′. The relationship between the leg length d ₁ ′ on the base plate side and the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side is defined by the expression <1>. With these relationships, the throat thickness of the welded portion is sufficiently secured, and the stress concentration at the throat thick portion is mitigated. Furthermore, an ultrasonic impact treatment for improving the fatigue characteristics is applied to the weld toe portion of the rotating welded portion to improve the fatigue characteristics. Furthermore, in order to reduce the stress concentration, it is effective to increase the leg length d ₁ ′ on the base plate side or to finish the shape of the weld toe 7 smoothly beforehand.
Hereinafter, an efficient manufacturing method of an out-of-plane gusset welded joint according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described.

4A to 4D are partial perspective views for schematically explaining the procedure of the method for manufacturing the out-of-plane gusset welded joint according to the present embodiment. The out-of-plane gusset weld joint 1 includes a base plate 2 (plate thickness t ₁ (mm)) and a gusset plate 3 (plate thickness t ₂ (mm)) welded on the surface of the base plate 2. Incidentally, a direction perpendicular (the direction of the plate thickness t ₁ of the base plate 2) the surface of the base plate 2, the direction of the plate width w of gusset plates 3 and (the height direction) match. The direction orthogonal to the direction of the direction and the thickness t ₂ of the plate width w of the gusset plate 3 is a plate longitudinal direction (hereinafter, the longitudinal referred direction) of the gusset plate 3 is. A portion including a side (corner) in the same direction as the plate thickness t _{2 on} the end surface in the longitudinal direction is a corner portion of the gusset plate 3.
In the out-of-plane gusset weld joint of the present embodiment, the rectangular gusset plate 3 has a notch 4 in which a corner (corner corner) on the base plate 2 side is notched in the height (plate width w) direction. (FIG. 4A). This notch portion 4 is a (mm) from the corner portion of the gusset plate 3 facing the base plate 2 to the height direction of the gusset plate 3 (plate width w direction of the gusset plate 3), and the gusset plate facing the base plate 2 3 has a dimension of x (mm) in the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate 3 (the direction toward the center of the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate 3) from the corner portion of 3.
The gusset plate is arranged on the base plate 2 so that the end surface in the direction of the plate width w of the gusset plate 3 having the notch 4 and the surface of the base plate 2 face each other. Thereafter, the gusset plate 3 having the notch 4 is fillet welded to the base plate 2. As a result, a fillet welded portion 9 is formed around the surface of the gusset plate 3 facing the base plate 2 (near the four sides), and the end of the fillet welded portion 9 in the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate 3 (see FIG. Around the right end of the gusset plate 3 shown in FIG. 4B, a turning welded portion 10 is formed (FIG. 4B). Of the fillet welds 9 formed in this way, at least the vicinity of the weld toes 7 and 7 ′ of the turning weld 10 is subjected to a striking process for improving fatigue characteristics, for example, by the ultrasonic impact treatment device 12. (FIG. 4C). As a result, an impact processing mark 11 is formed on the weld toe portions 7 and 7 ′ (FIG. 4D).

As shown in FIGS. 4A to 4D, the out-of-plane gusset welded joint usually has a shape in which the length in the height direction (plate width w) of the gusset plate is equal to or greater than the length in the plate thickness direction (plate thickness t ₂ ). Often it has (t ₂ ≦ w). That is, the gusset plate is arranged so that the end surface in the plate width direction faces the plate surface of the base plate, and the periphery (four sides) of this end surface is fillet welded to the base plate, and the surface has a shape as shown in FIGS. An outer gusset weld joint is formed. Therefore, an out-of-plane gusset weld joint having a shape as shown in FIGS. 4A to 4D will be described as an example.
In the present embodiment, the shape of the gusset plate is not limited to the shape (t ₂ ≦ w) as shown in FIGS. For example, the shape of the gusset plate may be a shape (t ₂ > w) as shown in FIG. In other words, the length in the height direction (plate width w) of the gusset plate may be smaller than the length in the plate thickness direction (plate thickness t ₂ ).
Moreover, the turn welding part is formed in the corner part of the gusset plate which has a notch part. Here, for the sake of brevity, an explanation will be given by taking, as an example, a turning weld formed at an end portion in the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate. Incidentally, the thickness _{t 2} of the gusset plate becomes _{t 2 ≦ 3d 2 '≦ 3w} .

  FIG. 1 shows a longitudinal section in the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate 3 of the out-of-plane gusset weld joint 1 in FIG. 4B. That is, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing a cross section taken along the line AA of FIG. 4B and shows a state before performing a hitting process on the weld toe 7. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing a cross section taken along the line B-B in FIG. 4D, and shows a state in which a hitting mark 11 is formed after the hitting process for improving the fatigue characteristics on the weld toe 7. .

  As shown in FIG. 1 and FIG. 4B, the corner portion on the base plate 2 side is cut out from the corner portion of the end portion in the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate 3 (the end portion where the turning welded portion 10 is formed). 4 is formed. This notch 4 is formed to increase the area joined by the weld metal 5 and to ensure a sufficient throat thickness.

In FIG. 1, each point and each dimension in the notch part 4 before fillet welding are defined. A corner on the base plate 2 side at the end in the longitudinal direction of the rectangular gusset plate 3 before the notch is defined as a corner C. Further, the position of the end face in the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate 3 that is separated from the surface of the base plate 2 on the gusset plate 3 side by a notch height a (mm) in the height direction of the base plate 2 is defined as a position A. That is, the position A in FIG. 1 is a position away from the corner C in the width w direction of the gusset plate 3 (the height direction of the base plate 2) and a height a (mm) away. Further, a position separated from the corner C of the gusset plate 3 by the notch length x (mm) from the corner C to the inside of the gusset plate 3 (the direction from the end of the gusset plate 3 toward the longitudinal center of the gusset plate 3) is defined as a position B. Define. In addition, a perpendicular foot dropped from the position A to the surface (line segment 78) of the base plate 2 before welding is defined as a point C ". The cut-out length of the eye that looks at the distance between this point C" and the position B In FIG. 1, a triangular range surrounded by the position A, the position B, and the corner C is cut out in the thickness direction to form a cutout portion 4. Then, the notch length x and the apparent notch length x ″ coincide with each other.
Here, in FIGS. 1 and 2, the corner C and the point C ′ coincide with each other. That is, the foot of the perpendicular line dropped from the notch position A to the surface (line segment 78) of the base plate 2 before welding and the surface (line segment 78) of the pace plate 2 before welding from the toe portion 7 'on the gusset plate 3 side. A vertical leg down to) is shown in the same overlapping position. In this case, the end face in the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate 3 is orthogonal to the upper surface of the base plate 2.
In some cases, the two may not be orthogonal. For example, in the partial cross-sectional view of the welded joint schematically shown in FIG. 3, the shape of the gusset plate 3 before notching is different from the shape shown in FIG. Thus, in the case of the trapezoidal gusset plate as shown in FIG. 3, the positions of the corner C and the point C ′ are different. 3 is longer than the notch length x in FIG. 1 by the distance between the corner C and the point C ″. In the following, the out-of-plane gusset in FIG. The case of the welded joint 1 will be described as an example, and in the case of fillet welding of the scalloped portion, the notch length x is shortened by the distance between the corner C and the point C ″.

The notch height a (the length from the position A to the corner C) needs to be set to be equal to or less than the planned leg length d ₂ on the gusset plate 3 side of the welded joint 1. When the notch height a is more than expected leg length d _2, it remains notch which is not covered with the weld metal 5 in turn welded portion of the gusset plate 3 side, sound welds may not be obtained. Moreover, since the notch part 4 should just be formed in the gusset plate 3, the minimum of notch height a is not prescribed | regulated in particular. However, if the notch height a is too small, the area joined by welding becomes small, so the effect of suppressing the occurrence of fatigue cracks is reduced. In the general case of performing the welding of the gusset plates 3 and 3 passes or less, it is preferable notch height a is 80 to 90% of the planned leg d ₂ of the gusset plate 3 side.
That is, it is necessary to relationship between the scheduled leg d ₂ notch height a satisfies the following <2> expression, it is preferable to satisfy the following <3> expression.
_{0 <a ≦ d 2 ···· <} 2>
0.8d ₂ ≦ a ≦ 0.9d ₂ ... <3>
Further, the relationship between the notch height a and the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate 3 side satisfies the following <4> equation.
d ₂ '> a ... <4>
The planned leg lengths d ₁ and d ₂ are target leg lengths during fillet welding.

On the other hand, as shown in FIG. 1, the angle formed by the line segment AB and the line segment BC is defined as a notch angle θ. This notch angle θ is an angle formed by the notch surface S of the notch portion 4 of the gusset plate 3 and the surface of the base plate 2 before welding (the line segment forming the notch surface and the upper surface of the base plate before welding are formed. Angle formed by a line segment to be performed). Since the relationship between the notch angle θ, the notch length x, and the notch height a satisfies the following <5> equation, the following <7> equation is derived from the following <6> equation.
a / x = tan θ... <5>
a ≦ d ₂ ... <6>
xtan θ ≦ d ₂ ... <7>
Therefore, it is necessary to set the dimensions (notch length x and notch angle θ) of the notch portion 4 so as to satisfy the above formula <7>. However, considering the case of FIG. 3, the apparent notch length x ″ and the notch angle θ need to satisfy the following formula <8>.
x ″ tan θ ≦ d ₂ ... <8>

The notch length x (mm) (or the apparent notch length x ″) is not particularly limited as long as the above relationship is satisfied. However, if the notch length x becomes too long, the notch angle θ For this reason, the gap between the line segment AB and the line segment BC is particularly narrow in the vicinity of the position B, making it difficult to feed welding materials such as a welding wire and a welding rod during welding. In this case, the weld metal does not reach the position B sufficiently, and there is a possibility that poor welding such as insufficient filling of the weld metal or insufficient penetration is likely to occur.
Further, as the notch angle θ increases, the notch length x decreases and the surface area of the notch portion decreases. Therefore, the effect of the notch part 4 which enlarges the area joined by welding and reduces the stress generated in the root part becomes small.
Therefore, in order to increase the area to be joined by welding, the notch angle θ and the notch length are set so that a large notch area can be secured without causing poor welding within the range where x satisfies the above formula <1>. x may be selected.
The leg length d ₁ ′ is preferably as large as possible in order to reduce the stress concentration at the weld toe 7. In addition, the weld toes 7 and 7 ′ are preferably welded as smoothly as possible in order to facilitate the subsequent ultrasonic hitting process.

The present inventors prepared various gusset plates in which notches are formed so that at least one of the notch height a, the notch angle θ, and the notch length x is different, and a predetermined expected leg length. to produce a welded joint by fillet welding of d _2. After subjecting the weld toe of the welded joint of this welded joint to ultrasonic hitting, the fatigue characteristics were investigated by a fatigue test. As a result, the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint could be reliably improved when the notch angle θ was 80 ° or less. For this reason, the notch angle θ of the notch is 80 ° or less. The lower limit of the notch angle θ is not particularly limited. When the notch angle θ is 45 ° or more, the gap between the base plate and the gusset plate (the gap between the notches) is sufficient, so that the welding wire can reliably reach the welding root portion. In this case, sufficient penetration could be obtained efficiently and stably in a relatively short time. Further, when the notch angle θ is 75 ° or less, the notch length x and the throat thickness can be sufficiently secured. In this case, the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint were sufficiently improved. Therefore, the notch angle θ is preferably 45 ° or greater and 75 ° or less. More preferably, the notch angle θ is not less than 50 ° and not more than 70 °.

As described above, by providing a notch at the longitudinal end of the gusset plate to which the turn welding is performed and performing fillet welding, the weld root portion of the fillet welding is compared with the case where the notch is not formed. It can be separated from the weld toe and the throat thickness can be increased. As a result, it is possible to alleviate the concentration of the force flow due to repetitive stress at the weld root, and to improve the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint (see FIG. 6A). As described above, welding is usually performed while ensuring sufficient penetration so as not to cause poor welding such as insufficient penetration in the fillet weld. Also in the present embodiment, welding is performed while ensuring sufficient penetration so that welding failure such as insufficient penetration does not occur in a portion including the position B (see FIGS. 1 and 2) that is a welding root portion.
As described above, welding is performed in consideration of the leg lengths d ₁ ′ and d ₂ ′ and the penetration angle θ ′ so that the penetration length x ′ and the leg length d ₁ ′ on the base plate side satisfy the above formula <1>. I do. As a result, a minimum amount of penetration can be secured at the weld toe on the base plate side after welding. Therefore, it can be avoided that the thinnest part of the throat becomes the toe part on the base plate side, and excellent fatigue characteristics can be ensured.
The leg lengths d ₁ ′ and d ₂ ′ satisfy the following formulas <9> and <10> with respect to the planned leg lengths d ₁ and d ₂ , respectively.
d ₁ '≧ d ₁ ... <9>
d ₂ '≧ d ₂ ... <10>
By providing the notch as described above, it is possible to efficiently produce a welded joint that satisfies the above formula <1>.

In order to further improve the fatigue characteristics of the out-of-plane gusset welded joint, the present inventors have used leg lengths d ₁ ′ and d ₂ ′ in the fillet welded portion using the gusset plate in which the notched portion is formed. The effect of was investigated. As a result, it was found that when the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side is small, the throat thickness becomes small with respect to the plate thickness t _{2 of the} gusset plate, so that the stress at the throat thick portion increases. Furthermore, it has been found that the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint are greatly improved by setting the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side to 1/3 or more of the plate thickness t ₂ of the gusset plate.
For this reason, in the method for manufacturing a welded joint according to the present embodiment, welding is performed so that the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side is equal to or more than 1/3 of the plate thickness t ₂ of the gusset plate (the following formula <11>). Do. By controlling the relationship between the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side and the plate thickness t _{2 of the} gusset plate, a sufficient throat thickness can be secured. The fatigue characteristics of can be greatly improved.
_{d 2 '≧ t 2/3} ···· <11>
In normal welding, the leg length d ₁ ′ on the base plate side and the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side are often substantially the same length. However, the leg length d ₁ ′ on the base plate side needs to satisfy the above-described formula <1>, and the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side needs to satisfy the above-described formula <1> and the above-described formula <11>.

As described above, in the method of manufacturing the out-of-plane gusset welded joint according to the present embodiment, a predetermined notch is provided in the gusset plate, and the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side is 1 / th of the thickness t ₂ of the gusset plate. Fillet welding is performed while obtaining sufficient penetration so as to be 3 or more and so as to satisfy the formula <1>.
In addition, it is preferable to form a notch part so that the notch angle (theta) of a gusset plate may be 45 degrees or more and 75 degrees or less. Further, it is preferable that a fillet weld having a penetration angle θ ′ of 30 ° or more and 75 ° or less is obtained by welding so as to obtain sufficient penetration.
Thus, by providing a notch in the gusset plate and performing welding while ensuring sufficient penetration, the cross-sectional area of each member joined by the weld metal increases, and a large throat thickness can be secured. Therefore, the stress which generate | occur | produces in a welding root part can be reduced and the fatigue characteristic of a welded joint can be improved greatly efficiently.

Next, in the welded joint of the present embodiment, at least a hammering process for improving the fatigue characteristics of the weld toe part itself at the weld toe part of the turn welded part among the fillet weld parts formed as described above. Apply.
This striking treatment needs to be performed at least on the weld toe portion on the base plate side of the rotating weld portion where a fatigue crack is likely to occur when repeated stress is applied. However, you may perform a hit | damage process to all the weld toes of a turn weld part or a fillet weld part.
The striking process for improving the fatigue characteristics may be a peening process such as shot peening or hammer peening. The method of the hit processing is not particularly limited. That is, hitting the weld toe to the extent that the position of the toe line of the weld toe before the hammering process cannot be determined, forming a smooth valley at the weld toe, and compressing residual stress by plastic flow It only needs to be granted.
However, the impact processing (UIT processing) by the ultrasonic impact processing apparatus is efficient, and therefore preferable. The conditions for the UIT impact treatment on the weld toe are not particularly limited. In this case, it is preferable to perform an appropriate UIT impact treatment according to the fatigue characteristics required for the material (member).

In the following, a case where the impact process is performed by an ultrasonic impact device (UIT process) will be exemplified. In the hitting process, the radius of curvature r in the cross section perpendicular to the weld line at the weld toe is 1.0 mm or more and 10.0 mm or less, and the depth f from the surface of the steel (base plate or gusset plate) to the thickness of the steel is f. It is preferable to form the ultrasonic impact scar 11 having a thickness of 0.05 mm to 1.0 mm. More preferably, the depth f is not less than 0.1 mm and not more than 0.4 mm.
When the radius of curvature r of the impact processing mark (ultrasonic shock mark) 11 is 1.0 mm or more, the stress concentration on the fillet weld can be sufficiently relaxed. Further, when the curvature radius r is 10.0 mm or less, the effect of relaxing the stress concentration increases as the curvature radius r increases. In this case, the fatigue resistance of the welded joint can be further improved. This radius of curvature r can be appropriately determined in consideration of the processing time. In addition, the hit | damage process trace (ultrasonic impact trace) 11 is normally formed centering on the welding toe part 7 and 7 '. However, it is preferable that the impact processing mark (ultrasonic shock mark) 11 is formed so as to include at least a part of the weld metal 5 and the weld heat affected zone. Therefore, it is preferable to select the ultrasonic impact position and the radius of curvature r of the ultrasonic impact mark in consideration of the position where the hitting mark 11 is formed.

  Further, if the depth f of the impact processing trace (ultrasonic impact trace) 11 on the base plate 2 or the gusset plate 3 is 1.0 mm or less, the tensile residual in the vicinity of the weld toe 7 is increased as the depth f is increased. The effect of releasing stress or the effect of applying compressive residual stress increases. Therefore, a significant improvement in fatigue resistance characteristics of the welded joint can be expected. Further, when the depth f is increased, a sufficient time is required. Therefore, the depth f is determined in consideration of efficiency. Accordingly, the depth f of the ultrasonic impact scar 11 is preferably 1.0 mm or less. Note that the depth f of the ultrasonic impact scar 11 is not particularly limited. For example, the depth f of the ultrasonic impact scar 11 may be 0.05 mm or more as an amount in which the position of the toe line of the weld toe part before the hitting process cannot be determined.

Moreover, the apparatus currently disclosed by the above-mentioned patent documents 1-3 can be used for the ultrasonic impact apparatus 12 for performing an ultrasonic impact process, for example. The shape of the vibration terminal (pin) of the ultrasonic impact device 12 can be selected in consideration of conditions such as the shape of the ultrasonic impact mark 11 to be formed.
For example, the radius of curvature of the axial cross section at the tip of the ultrasonic impact device 12 is preferably set to 1.0 mm or more and 10 mm or less. The shape of the tip is the shape of the ultrasonic impact scar 11 after the hitting process. Therefore, when this curvature radius is too small, a notch-shaped groove is formed in the weld toe, and the stress concentration becomes high. On the other hand, if the radius of curvature is too large, depending on the shape of the weld bead, it is difficult to form the ultrasonic impact scar 11 having a predetermined radius of curvature r even if the weld toe is hit by a hitting process. Therefore, in order to reliably form an ultrasonic impact scar having a predetermined curvature radius r, it is preferable that the curvature radius of the axial cross section at the tip of the ultrasonic impact device 12 is 1.0 mm or more and 10 mm or less. The radius of curvature is more preferably 1.5 mm or greater and 5.0 mm or less.

  The conditions for the ultrasonic impact treatment may be appropriately selected according to the fatigue characteristics required for the application. Therefore, the conditions for ultrasonic impact treatment are not particularly limited. For example, it is preferable to vibrate the vibration terminal at a frequency of 20 kHz or more and 50 kHz or less and to apply an ultrasonic impact at a work rate of 0.01 kW or more and 4 kW or less. However, since it is not always necessary to hit by ultrasonic vibration, it may be hit at a low frequency of 20 kHz or less or at a discontinuous cycle. As a result, the metal on the surface of the weld toe part plastically flows, and the tensile residual stress formed with the cooling of the fillet weld is released, and a compressive residual stress field can be formed. Further, by repeatedly applying the ultrasonic impact treatment in a heat-insulating state where the heat generated by the processing does not dissipate from the surface of the weld toe, it is possible to provide the same action as hot forging in the vicinity of the weld toe. As a result, the crystal structure near the weld toe is refined, and the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint are improved.

As the base plate, a steel plate of JIS SM490B described in JIS G3106 (plate thickness 14 mm × width 50 mm × length 500 mm) was used. The gusset plate was a steel plate of the same steel type as the base plate (plate thickness 14 mm × width 50 mm × length 100 mm). The gusset plate was placed on the base plate as shown in FIG. 4A. That is, the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate and the longitudinal direction of the base plate 2 were matched, and the width direction of the gusset plate and the direction perpendicular to the upper surface of the base plate were matched. In addition, a gusset plate was disposed at a substantially central portion (a central portion of the upper surface) in the longitudinal direction and the width direction of the base plate.
The test piece of the out-of-plane gusset welded joint was produced by fillet welding the gusset plate arranged as described above to the base plate. A gusset plate similar to the gusset plate on the upper surface of the base plate was also provided on the lower surface of the base plate (not shown). The position of the lower gusset plate was the same as the position of the upper gusset plate. Twenty specimens of out-of-plane gusset welded joints were manufactured, and 16 of these 20 bodies were provided with notches in the gusset plate. Further, of these 16 bodies, two are the same steel type as the base plate, and a steel plate (plate thickness 20 mm × width 50 mm × length 100 mm) thicker than the other 14 gusset plates is used as the gusset plate. Using. Moreover, the four test bodies which do not form a notch part in a gusset plate are the out-of-plane gusset welded joint test bodies of a prior art example, as shown to FIG. 7B.

Of the above test specimens, 16 specimens were formed by cutting out the corner portions on the base plate side at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate to form the cutout portions 4. At this time, the notch height a and the planned leg length d ₂ are determined so as to satisfy the expression <2>, and the notch angle θ (the angle formed between the surface of the base plate and the notch surface of the gusset plate) is set to 25. The notch length x was changed by changing it to ˜80 °.
Incidentally, scheduled leg d ₂ and scheduled leg d ₁ of the base plate side of the gusset plate side was set respectively based such as the welding design criteria.
All of the above test bodies were carbon dioxide semi-automatic welding (GMAW: voltage 35 V, current 350 A, speed 3 mm / sec, gas composition CO ₂ 100 using YGW-11 (JIS Z3321: wire diameter 1.4 mm) as a welding wire. %).
Further, the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side was not less than 1/4 and not more than 3/4 of the plate thickness t ₂ of the gusset plate. Further, the leg length d ₁ ′ on the base plate side was substantially the same as the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side, except for one specimen. These leg lengths d ₁ ′ and d ₂ ′ were not less than the expected leg length d ₁ on the base plate side and the expected leg length d ₂ on the gusset plate side, respectively, except for one specimen.

A UIT process was applied to the weld toe part on the base plate side of the rotating welded part of the test piece of the out-of-plane gusset welded joint manufactured in this way by an ultrasonic impact treatment device to form a hammering process trace. The radius of curvature of the axial cross section at the tip of the vibration terminal (pin) of this ultrasonic impact treatment apparatus was 1.0 to 10.0 mm. The conditions for the UIT treatment were a frequency of 27 kHz and a work rate of 1 kW. Further, an impact mark having a curvature radius r of 1.0 to 10.0 mm and a surface depth f of 1.0 mm or less was formed in the vicinity of the weld toe portion on the base plate side of the turn welded portion. For comparison, two of the 20 specimens were not subjected to UIT treatment.
A fatigue test was conducted on all the specimens of the finally produced out-of-plane gusset welded joint. In this fatigue test, the number of repetitions until breakage was measured under the conditions of a stress amplitude of 100 MPa and a stress ratio of 0.1.
Further, after the fatigue test, the center of the thickness of the gusset plate was cut along the longitudinal direction to produce a cross-sectional observation sample. This sample (test body) is corroded with nital in the vicinity of the turning welds at both ends in the longitudinal direction, and the penetration length (welding metal penetration length) x ′ and leg lengths d ₁ ′ and d ₂ ′ are throat thicknesses. t was measured. Moreover, the shape of the hit | damage process part of a weld toe part was observed.
The results are shown in Table 1.
Note that the leg lengths d ₁ ′, d ₂ ′ and throat thickness t in Table 1 are average values at the respective positions (four locations) where the turned welds are formed. That is, the leg lengths d ₁ ′, d ₂ ′ and the throat thickness t take into account the turn welds at both ends in the longitudinal direction of the gusset plate and the turn welds on both sides of the base plate. The fatigue characteristics (the number of repetitions until rupture) are the values of each specimen.

No. which performed UIT processing. The test specimens of 2 to 5 and 7 to 20 have impact treatment traces having a curvature radius r of 1.0 to 10.0 mm and a depth f from the steel surface to the thickness direction of the base plate of 1.0 mm or less. It was formed at the weld toe and the shape of the weld toe was curvilinear.
As shown in Table 1, in the case where the gusset plate is not provided with a notch, No. 1 is a conventional example in which the UIT process is not performed. The test piece No. 1 is a conventional example No. 1 subjected to UIT processing. The fatigue characteristics were inferior to the test piece 2. This comparison confirmed the improvement in fatigue properties due to the UIT treatment. No. In the test piece of 6, the gusset plate was provided with a sufficient notch, and each dimension of the welded joint (eg, leg length d ₁ ′, d ₂ ′) satisfied the <1> formula, but the UIT treatment was performed. Was not. Therefore, the number of repetitions until breakage was around 300,000 times. The number of repetitions is the same as for No. which UIT is not applied. It is the same level as 1 specimen. Thus, even when the notch portion was formed and the leg lengths d ₁ ′ and d ₂ ′ were ensured, the effect of improving the fatigue characteristics by increasing the throat thickness was not exhibited.
No. 8 and no. In the 11 specimens, notches were not provided in the gusset plate, and each dimension of the welded joint did not satisfy the <1> formula. Furthermore, the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side was not sufficient. Therefore, despite the UIT treatment, the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint could not be improved.
No. In the test bodies of 9, 10 and 12, the gusset plate was provided with a notch, but the leg length d ₂ ′ on the gusset plate side did not satisfy the above <11> formula. Therefore, the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint cannot be improved.

No. The 11 and 12 of the test body, because of the short leg d _{2 'relative} to the thickness t ₂ of the gusset plate, it was not possible to obtain a throat thickness corresponding to the thickness t ₂ of the gusset plate. Therefore, the stress in the thick throat portion increases, the weld metal breaks, and None of the specimens 11 and 12 had a very long life.
For the above test specimen, a notch having a sufficient dimension is formed on the gusset plate, and fillet welded so as to satisfy the condition of the fillet welded part dimension (for example, the above formula <1>), No. which performed UIT processing. In the specimens 3 and 4, as shown in Table 1, it can be seen that the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint are remarkably improved.
No. In No. 13 specimen, no. The notch angle θ is smaller than that of the specimen 3 and the initial notch angle θ is less than 45 °. Therefore, the welding time was extended in order to ensure sufficient penetration into the weld root. As a result, the final amount of penetration could be sufficiently secured, and the penetration length x ′ satisfied the <1> formula, and the effect of improving fatigue characteristics was observed. In addition, when notch angle (theta) is small, in order to ensure the penetration to a welding root part, a high welding skill and time are required. Therefore, it is industrially preferable to set the notch angle θ within an appropriate range.
No. The test body of No. 5 has a notch part and a fillet weld part with sufficient dimensions. Therefore, No. which does not form a notch in the gusset plate. Compared with the test body of No. 2, the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint were improved.
No. In the test specimen No. 14, no. Unlike 13 specimens, the notch angle θ exceeds 75 °. In this test body, the notch was finally sufficiently melted by welding. In this case, the penetration angle θ ′ was 75 °, and the dimensions of the fillet welded part satisfied the above <1> formula. As a result, the effect of extending the fatigue life of the welded joint was observed. No. 14 has a penetration angle θ ′ of No. 14. No. 5 because it is smaller than the test specimen of No. 5. The fatigue characteristics of the specimen No. 14 It was higher than 5 specimens.
No. In the 15 specimens, the penetration angle θ ′ was smaller than 45 °, and the fatigue life was extended. No. As with the 13 specimens, the smaller the penetration angle θ ′, the better. However, in consideration of the penetration amount by realistic welding as described above, it is preferably 30 ° or more.
No. The specimens 16 and 17 are examples in which the leg length d ₁ ′ on the base plate side is relatively small. No. In No. 16 specimen, the fillet weld size did not satisfy the formula <1>, so the stress concentration at the weld toe portion increased, and the fatigue life extension effect could not be obtained. On the other hand, no. In the test body of No. 17, the dimension of the fillet welded portion satisfied the <1> formula, and the effect of improving the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint was recognized.
No. The 18 specimens are examples in which the penetration length x ′ is relatively small. In this test body, the dimension of the fillet welded part did not satisfy the formula <1>, so that the stress concentration at the weld toe part increased, and the fatigue life extending effect could not be obtained.
No. The 19 specimens are examples in which the notch height a is larger than the planned leg length d ₂ and leg length d ₂ ′. In this test body, a notch portion that is not covered with the weld metal remains in the turning welded portion on the gusset plate side, cracks are generated from the weld toe portion 7 'on the gusset plate side, and sufficient fatigue characteristics cannot be obtained. . In addition, No. In 19 specimens, the penetration angle θ ′ (symbol * in Table 1) could not be defined. Therefore, the penetration angle θ ′ was evaluated using the position A instead of the weld toe 7 ′.
No. For the 20 specimens, no. 3 and no. This is an example in which the notch angle θ is smaller than the 13 specimens. In this test body, sufficient penetration to the tip of the notch could not be secured. However, the penetration length x ′ satisfies the <1> formula, and an effect of improving fatigue characteristics was observed. In addition, No. 3 and no. In No. 13 specimen, no. The burden of the welding work was smaller than that of the 20 specimens, and it was possible to easily ensure the penetration into the welding root portion. Therefore, it is industrially preferable to set the notch angle θ within an appropriate range.
From these results, it was confirmed that the fatigue characteristics of the welded joint can be greatly improved by producing a welded joint that satisfies the above conditions.

  According to the present invention, in the out-of-plane gusset welded joint, the penetration of the weld root portion can be efficiently deepened and the throat thickness can be increased, so that the stress concentration in the weld root portion can be reduced. Therefore, the fatigue characteristics of the entire out-of-plane gusset welded joint can be further improved by fully utilizing the effect of improving the fatigue characteristics of the weld toe by shot processing such as shot peening and UIT processing.
