2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, with the progress of aluminization of automobile parts, for example, attempts have been made to manufacture a bonnet from an aluminum alloy. In this case, it is necessary to weld the outer panel and the inner panel at the peripheral hemming portion, but if general-purpose spot welding such as for steel plates is used, the welding portion is greatly deformed by the applied pressure and its use is abandoned. You will be forced to do so. On the other hand, MIG welding or TIG welding may be used as an alternative to spot welding. In this case, solidification is caused by the characteristics of aluminum-based materials, which have extremely high thermal conductivity and coefficient of thermal expansion compared to iron-based materials. Increasing the amount of shrinkage and expanding the heat-affected zone are unavoidable, large tensile stress is generated around the welded portion, and large surface strain appears.

Therefore, recently, the application of laser welding to aluminum-based materials has attracted attention, and some attempts have been made to produce the bonnet by laser welding (for example, "NIKKEL MECHANICAL" 1993.5.3 P 16-20, Nikkei BP).
See company). This laser welding method uses YAG as a laser.
Using a laser, this is guided by an optical fiber to a laser torch (not shown) at the tip of the robot, and as shown in FIG. 10, the overlapping portion (in this case, the outer panel 1a and the inner panel 1b constituting the bonnet (workpiece) 1) The laser torch is moved along the welding planned line L set on the hemming portion 2 and the laser is intermittently irradiated to continuously weld the welding portion 3 having a predetermined length (about 10 to 20 mm) at a predetermined pitch. It is formed intermittently. It should be noted that the YAG laser is used as the laser because it has a higher absorptance with respect to an aluminum-based material having a higher reflectance and a smaller oscillation wavelength of 1.06 μm than quartz (SiO 2 ) as compared with the CO 2 laser.
This is because it is hardly absorbed by the optical fiber, flexible transmission by optical fiber is possible, and a large peak output is obtained by pulse oscillation output.
