Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent the roughness of a contact layer and improve contact reliability by providing a base metal for a multilayer contact at a position sealing a through hole of a contact spring, and welding the multilayer contact to the contact spring with laser beam radiated from the through hole side. CONSTITUTION:In the case of welding a multilayer contact point 3 to a base material 1, the base 1 is supported by members X and Y, and thereafter, the base metal 3a of the multilayer contact point 3 is made to abut on the base material 1 by the pressurizing force F of a member Z so as to correspond to a position of a through hole 2 of the base material 1, and thereafter, the laser beam is radiated from the through hole 2 side to melt both the base material 1 and the base metal 3a to be welded for junction. Consequently, the roughness of a contact layer is eliminated, and since a welding part of the multilayer contact point 3 is enclosed in the base metal 3a, the influence of the welding heat on the contact layer can be restricted as low as possible.

However, compared to the load current of about several A that normally opens and closes with contacts, a current several hundred times or more flows during welding, so various welding conditions such as the welding current value and the pressure applied between the contact and the base material by the electrodes are required. If it is not set properly, scattering (of the base material, etc.) may occur, and the base material may adhere to the contact surface of the contact, or the base material itself may adhere to the electrode.
There was a problem in that the contact surfaces of the contacts became rough, resulting in poor contact reliability.

In addition, in resistance welding, in order to obtain stable welding between parts, it is necessary to continuously flow a high current of more than a certain level (for example, about 50 m5ec), but the heat generated during welding causes the contact surface to This discoloration also causes problems such as increased contact resistance and poor contact reliability.
