An electric heating element formed by spirally winding a strip-shaped or linear elongated material is used. A method for forming this electric heating element is shown in FIG. In the figure, 1 is iron as a material of the electric heating element.
It is a strip material having a rectangular cross section formed from a chromium-aluminum alloy. This electric heating material 1 is formed into a spiral shape by winding the material 1 with a mandrel 3 while feeding it with a feed roller 2 of a molding machine, and winding it with a forming roller 7 while holding the outer circumference. It is performed by cutting with a cutter 4 when the reeling process is finished.

Is shown in. In general, this electric heating body 10 is heated in the air in an electric furnace after molding, so that an oxide film is formed on the surface thereof. The oxide film is formed in order to prevent the spirally wound portions from coming into contact with each other and short-circuiting when the electric heating element 10 is energized, thereby preventing uniform heating of the electric heating element 10. In addition, the electric heating element 10 is set by appropriately setting the heating temperature and the heating time in the electric furnace,
The oxide film is usually formed to a film thickness of about 0.5 to 2 μm and then cooled in the atmosphere.

First, it takes a relatively long time to form an oxide film, and secondly, there is a need for a step of partially removing the oxide film after it has been formed, which is a waste of the manufacturing process. Thirdly, polishing is required to remove the coating, automation of the whole process is difficult, and productivity is not excellent. Such a problem may occur not only when the material is formed into a spiral shape, but also when the material is formed into another shape such as a coil shape or a wavy shape, and an oxide film is formed on the surface thereof.

That is, it has a step of forming a strip-shaped or linear elongated electric heating material into a predetermined shape such as a spiral shape or a coil, and a step of forming an oxide film on the surface of the electric heating material during the forming step. It is characterized in that the oxide film forming step is performed by irradiating a region of the electric heating element material where a film is to be formed with laser light to heat the surface of the electric heating element material.

ことができる。In the above structure, the oxide film is formed at the same time by irradiating the region where the film is to be formed with laser light when the electric heating element material is formed into a spiral shape, a coil shape, or a wavy shape. It The irradiation of the laser light is performed, for example, by the laser light irradiation device that is fixed at a fixed position when the material is wound around the mandrel to form a spiral while being fed, or while the laser light irradiation device itself is being moved. be able to. By irradiating the laser beam in this manner, when the electrothermal material is formed into a spiral shape or a coil shape, the oxide film is already formed except for the end portion where the film is unnecessary. Therefore, the terminals and the like for energization can be joined to the ends and the like immediately after the electric heating body is molded.

で、従来よりも生産性が向上する。According to the above construction, since the oxide film is formed by irradiating the laser beam, the heating time can be shortened as compared with the case where an electric furnace is used, and therefore the film formation time can be shortened. Further, since the coating film is formed only in a necessary portion, it is possible to omit an unnecessary process of removing the coating film.
Furthermore, it is possible to easily determine the film formation region and the film non-formation region by adjusting the irradiation timing of the laser light when the electric heating material is being fed, and the polishing for removing the film is unnecessary. Therefore, automation of the whole process is easy and productivity is improved as compared with the conventional method.

In this embodiment, the condensing lens 5 that sets the focus position of the laser light 6 to a position slightly past the electric heating material 1 is used. Further, in this embodiment, the laser light 6 is emitted only from one side of the material 1. For the purpose of forming an oxide film to prevent a short circuit, it is sufficient to form an oxide film on one side in this way, but the laser beam 6 is irradiated from two directions, up and down, to form a film on both sides of the electric heating element material 1. You may form. In order to speed up the cooling, air, nitrogen gas, or the like may be blown onto the material 1 immediately after the irradiation of the laser light 6.
