準備工程は、図1の(a)に示すように、第一金属部材1及び第二金属部材2を用意する工程である。第一金属部材1は、板状の金属部材である。第一金属部材1の材料は、アルミニウム、アルミニウム合金、銅、銅合金、チタン、チタン合金、 マグネシウム、マグネシウム合金等の摩擦攪拌可能な金属から適宜選択される。準備工程では、第一金属部材1の端面が、外側端面1dと、内側端面1eと、中間面1fとで構成されるように形成する。内側端面1eは、外側端面1dに対して対向する第二金属部材2から離間する側に形成されている。中間面1fは、外側端面1dと内側端面1eとを繋ぐとともに、外側端面1d及び内側端面1eに対して直角になっている。第一金属部材1の内側端面1e及び中間面1fは、端面を切り欠いて形成してもよいし、ダイキャストで予め成形してもよい。   The preparation step is a step of preparing the first metal member 1 and the second metal member 2 as shown in FIG. The first metal member 1 is a plate-like metal member. The material of the first metal member 1 is appropriately selected from metals capable of friction stirring such as aluminum, aluminum alloy, copper, copper alloy, titanium, titanium alloy, magnesium, magnesium alloy and the like. In the preparation step, the end surface of the first metal member 1 is formed by an outer end surface 1d, an inner end surface 1e, and an intermediate surface 1f. The inner end face 1e is formed on the side away from the second metal member 2 facing the outer end face 1d. The intermediate surface 1f connects the outer end surface 1d and the inner end surface 1e, and is perpendicular to the outer end surface 1d and the inner end surface 1e. The inner end face 1e and the intermediate face 1f of the first metal member 1 may be formed by notching the end face, or may be formed in advance by die casting.

第二金属部材2は、板状の金属部材である。第二金属部材2の材料は、前記した摩擦攪拌可能な金属から適宜選択すればよいが、第一金属部材1と同等の材料であることが好ましい。第二金属部材2は、第一金属部材1と同等の形状で形成されている。つまり、準備工程では、第二金属部材2の端面が、外側端面2dと、内側端面2eと、中間面2fとで構成されるように形成する。内側端面2eは、外側端面2dに対して対向する第一金属部材1から離間する側に形成されている。中間面2fは、外側端面2dと内側端面2eとを繋ぐとともに、外側端面2d及び内側端面2eに対して直角になっている。   The second metal member 2 is a plate-like metal member. The material of the second metal member 2 may be appropriately selected from the metals that can be frictionally stirred, but is preferably the same material as that of the first metal member 1. The second metal member 2 is formed in the same shape as the first metal member 1. That is, in the preparation step, the end surface of the second metal member 2 is formed to be constituted by the outer end surface 2d, the inner end surface 2e, and the intermediate surface 2f. The inner end face 2e is formed on the side away from the first metal member 1 facing the outer end face 2d. The intermediate surface 2f connects the outer end surface 2d and the inner end surface 2e, and is perpendicular to the outer end surface 2d and the inner end surface 2e.

突合せ工程は、図1の(b)に示すように、第一金属部材1の端面と第二金属部材2の端面とを突き合わせて突合せ部Jを形成する工程である。突合せ工程では、第一金属部材1の外側端面1dと第二金属部材2の外側端面2dとを突き合わせる。これにより、突合せ部Jが形成される。また、対向する内側端面1e,2eと、連続する中間面1f,2fとで凹溝10が形成される。凹溝10は、断面矩形を呈する。凹溝10は、底面10a(中間面1f,2f)と、側壁10b,10b(内側端面1e,2e)とで構成されている。   The butting step is a step of forming a butting portion J by butting the end surface of the first metal member 1 and the end surface of the second metal member 2 as shown in FIG. In the butting step, the outer end surface 1d of the first metal member 1 and the outer end surface 2d of the second metal member 2 are butted. Thereby, the butt | matching part J is formed. A concave groove 10 is formed by the opposed inner end faces 1e, 2e and the continuous intermediate faces 1f, 2f. The concave groove 10 has a rectangular cross section. The concave groove 10 includes a bottom surface 10a (intermediate surfaces 1f, 2f) and side walls 10b, 10b (inner end surfaces 1e, 2e).

タブ材配置工程は、図2の(a)に示すように、突合せ部Jの両端に、一対のタブ材Tを配置する工程である。タブ材Tは、直方体を呈し、第一金属部材1及び第二金属部材2と同等の材料で形成されている。タブ材Tの板厚寸法は、外側端面1d,2dの高さ寸法と同等に形成されている。タブ材配置工程では、タブ材Tの側面を第一金属部材1及び第二金属部材2の側面に当接させて、第一金属部材1とタブ材Tとの内隅及び第二金属部材2とタブ材Tとの内隅を溶接により仮接合する。タブ材Tの表面Tbと凹溝10の底面10aとを面一にするとともに、タブ材Tの裏面Tcと第一金属部材1の裏面1c及び第二金属部材2の裏面2cとを面一にする。   The tab material arranging step is a step of arranging a pair of tab materials T at both ends of the abutting portion J as shown in FIG. The tab material T has a rectangular parallelepiped shape and is formed of the same material as the first metal member 1 and the second metal member 2. The thickness of the tab material T is formed to be equal to the height of the outer end faces 1d and 2d. In the tab material arranging step, the side surfaces of the tab material T are brought into contact with the side surfaces of the first metal member 1 and the second metal member 2, and the inner corner of the first metal member 1 and the tab material T and the second metal member 2. The inner corner of the tab material T is temporarily joined by welding. The surface Tb of the tab material T and the bottom surface 10a of the groove 10 are flush with each other, and the back surface Tc of the tab material T, the back surface 1c of the first metal member 1 and the back surface 2c of the second metal member 2 are flush with each other. To do.

摩擦攪拌工程は、図2の(a)及び(b)に示すように、回転ツールGのショルダ部G1を凹溝10内に挿入して突合せ部Jを摩擦攪拌接合する工程である。回転ツールGは、円柱状のショルダ部G1と、ショルダ部G1の下端面G1aから垂下する攪拌ピンG2とで構成されている。ショルダ部G1の直径は、凹溝10の幅よりも若干小さく形成されている。ショルダ部G1の直径は、ショルダ部G1の外周面と凹溝10の側壁10b,10bとが接触するように設定してもよいが、摩擦攪拌工程を行う際に、ショルダ部G1の外周面と凹溝10の側壁10b,10bとがわずかな隙間をあけて相対移動可能な寸法であることが好ましい。   As shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the friction stirring step is a step of inserting the shoulder portion G1 of the rotary tool G into the concave groove 10 and friction stir welding the butt portion J. The rotary tool G includes a cylindrical shoulder portion G1 and a stirring pin G2 that hangs down from the lower end surface G1a of the shoulder portion G1. The diameter of the shoulder portion G1 is slightly smaller than the width of the concave groove 10. The diameter of the shoulder portion G1 may be set so that the outer peripheral surface of the shoulder portion G1 and the side walls 10b, 10b of the concave groove 10 are in contact with each other. It is preferable that the side wall 10b, 10b of the concave groove 10 has a dimension capable of relative movement with a slight gap.

攪拌ピンG2は、先細りになっている。攪拌ピンG2の外周面には螺旋溝が形成されている。本実施形態では、回転ツールGを右回転させるため、攪拌ピンG2の螺旋溝は、基端から先端に向かうにつれて左回りに形成されている。言い換えると、螺旋溝は、螺旋溝を基端から先端に向けてなぞると上から見て左回りに形成されている。   The stirring pin G2 is tapered. A spiral groove is formed on the outer peripheral surface of the stirring pin G2. In this embodiment, in order to rotate the rotary tool G to the right, the spiral groove of the stirring pin G2 is formed counterclockwise as it goes from the proximal end to the distal end. In other words, the spiral groove is formed counterclockwise as viewed from above when the spiral groove is traced from the proximal end to the distal end.

なお、回転ツールGを左回転させる場合は、螺旋溝を基端から先端に向かうにつれて右回りに形成することが好ましい。言い換えると、この場合の螺旋溝は、螺旋溝を基端から先端に向けてなぞると上から見て右回りに形成されている。螺旋溝をこのように設定することで、摩擦攪拌工程の際に塑性流動化した金属が螺旋溝によって攪拌ピンG2の先端側に導かれる。これにより、凹溝10の底面10aから溢れ出る金属の量を少なくすることができる。   In addition, when rotating the rotation tool G counterclockwise, it is preferable to form the spiral groove clockwise as it goes from the proximal end to the distal end. In other words, the spiral groove in this case is formed clockwise when viewed from above when the spiral groove is traced from the proximal end to the distal end. By setting the spiral groove in this manner, the plastic fluidized metal in the friction stirring step is guided to the tip side of the stirring pin G2 by the spiral groove. Thereby, the quantity of the metal which overflows from the bottom face 10a of the ditch | groove 10 can be decreased.

摩擦攪拌工程では、図2の(b)に示すように、まず、一方のタブ材Tの表面Tbに設定された開始位置Spに回転ツールGの攪拌ピンG2を挿入し、下端面G1aを表面Tbに押し込みつつ突合せ部Jに向けて相対移動させる。回転ツールGが突合せ部Jに突入したら、図3に示すように、下端面G1aを凹溝10の底面10aから離間させつつ、突合せ部J(凹溝10)に沿って回転ツールGを相対移動させる。回転ツールGの移動軌跡には塑性化領域Wが形成される。   In the friction stirring step, as shown in FIG. 2 (b), first, the stirring pin G2 of the rotary tool G is inserted into the start position Sp set on the surface Tb of one of the tab members T, and the lower end surface G1a is placed on the surface. Relative movement is made toward the butt J while being pushed into Tb. When the rotary tool G enters the butting portion J, as shown in FIG. 3, the rotary tool G is relatively moved along the butting portion J (concave groove 10) while the lower end surface G1a is separated from the bottom surface 10a of the concave groove 10. Let A plasticized region W is formed in the movement locus of the rotary tool G.

The intermediate surface 1h connects the outer end surface 1d and the inner end surface 1g, and is perpendicular to the outer end surface 1d and the inner end surface 1g. That is, the inner end surface 1e and the intermediate surface 1f are formed on the surface 1b side of the first metal member 1A, and the inner end surface 1g and the intermediate surface 1h are formed on the back surface 1c side of the first metal member 1A.

突合せ工程は、図4の(a)及び(b)に示すように、第一金属部材1Aの端面と第二金属部材2Aの端面とを突き合わせて突合せ部Jを形成する工程である。突合せ工程では、第一金属部材1Aの外側端面1dと第二金属部材2Aの外側端面2dとを突き合わせる。これにより、突合せ部Jが形成される。また、対向する内側端面1e,2eと、連続する中間面1f,2fとで凹溝10が形成される。また、対向する内側端面1g,2gと、連続する中間面1h,2hとで凹溝11が形成される。凹溝11は、断面矩形を呈する。凹溝11は、底面11a(中間面1h,2h)と、側壁11b,11b(内側端面1g,2g)とで構成されている。   As shown in FIGS. 4A and 4B, the butting step is a step of forming a butting portion J by butting the end surface of the first metal member 1A and the end surface of the second metal member 2A. In the butting step, the outer end surface 1d of the first metal member 1A and the outer end surface 2d of the second metal member 2A are butted. Thereby, the butt | matching part J is formed. A concave groove 10 is formed by the opposed inner end faces 1e, 2e and the continuous intermediate faces 1f, 2f. A concave groove 11 is formed by the opposed inner end faces 1g, 2g and the continuous intermediate faces 1h, 2h. The concave groove 11 has a rectangular cross section. The concave groove 11 includes a bottom surface 11a (intermediate surfaces 1h, 2h) and side walls 11b, 11b (inner end surfaces 1g, 2g).

タブ材配置工程は、図5の(a)に示すように、突合せ部Jの両端に、一対のタブ材Tを配置する工程である。タブ材Tは、直方体を呈し、第一金属部材1A及び第二金属部材2Aと同等の材料で形成されている。タブ材Tの板厚寸法は、外側端面1d,2dの高さ寸法と同等に形成されている。タブ材配置工程では、タブ材Tの側面を第一金属部材1A及び第二金属部材2Aの側面に当接させて、第一金属部材1とタブ材Tとの内隅及び第二金属部材2とタブ材Tとの内隅を溶接により仮接合する。タブ材Tの表面Tbと凹溝10の底面10aとを面一にするとともに、タブ材Tの裏面Tcと凹溝11の底面11aとを面一にする。   The tab material arranging step is a step of arranging a pair of tab materials T at both ends of the abutting portion J as shown in FIG. The tab material T has a rectangular parallelepiped shape and is formed of the same material as the first metal member 1A and the second metal member 2A. The thickness of the tab material T is formed to be equal to the height of the outer end faces 1d and 2d. In the tab material arranging step, the side surfaces of the tab material T are brought into contact with the side surfaces of the first metal member 1A and the second metal member 2A, the inner corners of the first metal member 1 and the tab material T, and the second metal member 2 The inner corner of the tab material T is temporarily joined by welding. The surface Tb of the tab material T and the bottom surface 10a of the groove 10 are flush with each other, and the back surface Tc of the tab material T and the bottom surface 11a of the groove 11 are flush.

第一の摩擦攪拌工程は、図5の(a)及び(b)に示すように、第一実施形態の摩擦攪拌工程と同じ要領で回転ツールGを凹溝10に挿入して突合せ部Jを摩擦攪拌接合する。回転ツールGの移動軌跡には塑性化領域W1が形成される。第二の摩擦攪拌工程は、図6に示すように、第一金属部材1A及び第二金属部材2Aをひっくり返し、凹溝11に回転ツールGを挿入して突合せ部Jに対して摩擦攪拌接合を行う。   In the first friction stirring step, as shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, the rotating tool G is inserted into the concave groove 10 in the same manner as the friction stirring step of the first embodiment, and the butt portion J is inserted. Friction stir welding. A plasticized region W1 is formed in the movement locus of the rotary tool G. In the second friction stirring step, as shown in FIG. 6, the first metal member 1 </ b> A and the second metal member 2 </ b> A are turned over, the rotating tool G is inserted into the concave groove 11, and the friction stir welding is performed on the butt portion J. I do.

第二の摩擦攪拌工程では、一方のタブ材Tの裏面Tcに設定された開始位置に回転ツールGを挿入し、第一金属部材1A及び第二金属部材2Aに向けて回転ツールGを相対移動させる。そして、回転ツールGが突合せ部Jに突入したら、図6に示すように、下端面G1aを凹溝11の底面11aから離間させつつ、突合せ部J(凹溝11)に沿って回転ツールGを相対移動させる。回転ツールGの移動軌跡には、塑性化領域W2が形成される。   In the second friction stirring step, the rotary tool G is inserted at the start position set on the back surface Tc of one tab member T, and the rotary tool G is relatively moved toward the first metal member 1A and the second metal member 2A. Let When the rotary tool G enters the abutting portion J, the rotary tool G is moved along the abutting portion J (concave groove 11) while the lower end surface G1a is separated from the bottom surface 11a of the concave groove 11 as shown in FIG. Move relative. A plasticized region W2 is formed in the movement locus of the rotary tool G.

第二の摩擦攪拌工程では、ショルダ部G1の下端面G1aを、凹溝11の底面11aから離間させ、かつ、第一金属部材1Aの裏面1cよりも低い位置に設定している。つまり、第二の摩擦攪拌工程では、摩擦攪拌によって発生するバリVをショルダ部G1の下端面G1aで押さえ込みつつ摩擦攪拌接合を行う。また、第二の摩擦攪拌工程では、回転ツールGの攪拌ピンG2が、塑性化領域W1に達するように挿入深さを調整することを除いては、第一の摩擦攪拌工程と同等である。   In the second friction stirring step, the lower end surface G1a of the shoulder portion G1 is set apart from the bottom surface 11a of the groove 11 and lower than the back surface 1c of the first metal member 1A. That is, in the second friction stirring step, friction stir welding is performed while pressing the burr V generated by the friction stirring with the lower end surface G1a of the shoulder portion G1. Further, the second friction stirring step is the same as the first friction stirring step except that the insertion depth is adjusted so that the stirring pin G2 of the rotary tool G reaches the plasticizing region W1.

以上説明した本実施形態に係る接合方法によれば、第一の摩擦攪拌工程を行う際に、凹溝10の底面10a、凹溝10の側壁10b,10b及びショルダ部G1の下端面G1aで狭い空間が形成されるため、バリVが散飛するのを防ぐとともに凹溝10の底面10aにバリVを堆積させることができる。これにより、第一金属部材1Aの表面1b及び第二金属部材2Aの表面2bにバリVが発生するのを防ぐことができる。   According to the joining method according to the present embodiment described above, when the first friction stirring step is performed, the bottom surface 10a of the recessed groove 10, the side walls 10b and 10b of the recessed groove 10, and the lower end surface G1a of the shoulder portion G1 are narrow. Since the space is formed, it is possible to prevent the burrs V from being scattered and to deposit the burrs V on the bottom surface 10 a of the concave groove 10. Thereby, it can prevent that the burr | flash V generate | occur | produces on the surface 1b of 1 A of 1st metal members, and the surface 2b of 2 A of 2nd metal members.

また、第二の摩擦攪拌工程を行う際に、凹溝11の底面11a、凹溝11の側壁11b,11b及びショルダ部G1の下端面G1aで狭い空間が形成されるため、バリVが散飛するのを防ぐとともに凹溝11の底面11aにバリVを堆積させることができる。これにより、第一金属部材1Aの裏面1c及び第二金属部材2Aの裏面2cにバリVが発生するのを防ぐことができる。よって、第一金属部材1A及び第二金属部材2Aのバリ除去工程等の表面処理を省略化することができる。   Further, when the second friction stirring step is performed, a narrow space is formed by the bottom surface 11a of the groove 11, the side walls 11b and 11b of the groove 11 and the lower end surface G1a of the shoulder portion G1, so that the burrs V are scattered. In addition, the burrs V can be deposited on the bottom surface 11a of the groove 11. Thereby, it can prevent that the burr | flash V generate | occur | produces in the back surface 1c of 1 A of 1st metal members, and the back surface 2c of 2 A of 2nd metal members. Therefore, surface treatments such as a deburring process for the first metal member 1A and the second metal member 2A can be omitted.

また、本実施形態に係る接合方法によれば、凹溝10の底面10a及び凹溝11の底面11aにショルダ部G1を押し込まないため、摩擦攪拌装置にかかる負荷を小さくすることができる。また、第一の摩擦攪拌工程で形成された塑性化領域W1と第二の摩擦攪拌工程で形成された塑性化領域W2とを重複させることで、突合せ部Jの深さ方向の全長が摩擦攪拌されるため、接合強度を高めることができるとともに、水密性及び気密性を高めることができる。また、タブ材Tの高さ寸法を、外側端面1d,2dの板厚寸法と同等にしているため、タブ材Tで第一の摩擦攪拌工程及び第二の摩擦攪拌工程の両方に対応することができる。   Moreover, according to the joining method which concerns on this embodiment, since the shoulder part G1 is not pushed in into the bottom face 10a of the ditch | groove 10, and the bottom face 11a of the ditch | groove 11, the load concerning a friction stirring apparatus can be made small. Further, by overlapping the plasticizing region W1 formed in the first friction stirring step and the plasticizing region W2 formed in the second friction stirring step, the total length in the depth direction of the butt J is friction stir. Therefore, joint strength can be increased, and water tightness and air tightness can be enhanced. Moreover, since the height dimension of the tab material T is made equal to the plate thickness dimension of the outer end faces 1d, 2d, the tab material T can handle both the first friction agitation process and the second friction agitation process. Can do.
