Definitions
- the present invention relates to a joint formed by superposing and spot welding a plurality of steel plates.
- Tensile strength is an important property in joints formed by superposing multiple steel sheets and spot welding (hereinafter also referred to as “spot weld joints”). Such tensile strength includes a tensile shear force (TSS) measured by applying a tensile load in the shear direction and a cross tensile force (CTS) measured by applying a tensile load in the peeling direction. Note that the methods for measuring the tensile shear force and the cross tensile force are defined in JIS Z 3136 and JIS Z 3137.
- CTS of a spot welded joint formed by a plurality of steel plates having a tensile strength of 270 MPa to 600 MPa increases as the strength of the steel plate increases. Therefore, in a spot welded joint formed of a steel plate having a tensile strength of 270 MPa to 600 MPa, a problem related to the joint strength hardly occurs.
- CTS in a spot welded joint formed by a plurality of steel plates including at least one steel plate having a tensile strength of 750 MPa or more does not increase or decreases even if the tensile strength of the steel plate increases.
- CTS is likely to be lowered.
- the reason is that the stress concentration on the welded portion is increased due to the lowering of the deformability, and the toughness of the welded portion is lowered due to quenching in the welded portion.
- the improvement of CTS in the spot-welded joint formed of a plurality of steel plates including at least one steel plate having a tensile strength of 750 MPa or more is required.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a method of reducing the hardness by annealing a spot welded joint (nugget portion and heat affected zone) by performing temper energization after a certain period of time has elapsed after the main energization is completed. Are listed.
- Patent Document 2 describes a method of heating and tempering the welded portion after welding.
- this method requires a separate process after welding and complicates the work procedure.
- this method requires a special device for using high frequency.
- the nugget is softened and the shearing force is reduced.
- Patent Document 3 describes a method in which post-energization is performed at a current equal to or higher than the main welding current after the nugget is formed by main welding.
- this method when the post-energization time is lengthened, the nugget diameter is only enlarged, and the structure becomes the same as that of normal welding.
- Patent Document 4 describes a method of spot welding a steel plate having a tensile strength of 440 MPa or more.
- the component composition of the steel sheet is restricted to C ⁇ P ⁇ 0.0025, P: 0.015% or less, and S: 0.01% or less.
- heat treatment is performed on the welded portion at about 300 ° C. for about 20 minutes.
- this method applicable steel plates are limited. Furthermore, this method requires a long time for welding and has low productivity.
- Patent Document 5 discloses a high-strength steel sheet (tensile strength: 750 to 1850 MPa, carbon equivalent Ceq: 0.22 to ”) that defines the microstructure of the nugget outer layer region and the average particle size and number density of carbides in the microstructure. 0.55% by weight) spot welded joints are described. However, in the case of fracture on the outside of the nugget, the structure of the nugget makes no contribution, so the provisions relating to the microstructure are meaningless.
- Patent Document 6 describes a method of spot welding a steel plate having a tensile strength of 900 to 1850 MPa and a plate thickness of 1.8 to 2.8 mm. In this method, after welding, post-energization is continuously performed at a current 0.5 to 0.9 times the welding current for a time 0.3 to 0.5 times the welding time. However, this method does not sufficiently study the time between the main welding and the post-energization, and does not contribute to the improvement of joint strength.

- the inventors of the present invention have a cross tensile force (CTS) of a spot welded joint formed by a plurality of steel plates including at least one steel plate having a tensile strength of 750 MPa to 2500 MPa.
- CTS cross tensile force
- the reason why it was not possible to sufficiently improve the quality of the metal was investigated from a metallurgical viewpoint and a mechanical viewpoint.
- a steel plate having a tensile strength of 750 MPa to 2500 MPa is referred to as a “high strength steel plate” as necessary.
- the heat-affected zone around the nugget ( It has been found that the low load break caused by HAZ) cannot be sufficiently suppressed.
- the nugget is a portion of the steel sheet that is melted by energization between the welding electrodes and then solidified.
- a heat-affected zone is a portion of a steel sheet heated to a temperature higher than Ac1 and lower than the melting temperature.
- the present inventors need to improve not only the inside of the nugget but also the breaking load at the periphery of the nugget. I found it. Therefore, in this embodiment, after a solidification zone is formed on the inner periphery of the melting portion, the solidification zone and the heat-affected zone surrounding the solidification zone are held at a high temperature for a long time.
- the steel type is not particularly limited.
- a two-phase structure type for example, a structure containing martensite in ferrite, a structure containing bainite in ferrite), a processing-induced transformation type (structure containing residual austenite in ferrite), a quenching type (martensite structure), Any type of steel such as a fine crystal type (ferrite main structure) may be used.
- the steel type of the steel sheet to be superposed on the high-strength steel sheet is not particularly limited.
- a steel plate of a steel type different from that of the high-strength steel plate may be used.
- a steel plate that is superposed on a high-strength steel plate may be a mild steel plate.
- the steel plate overlapped with the high-strength steel plate may be a steel plate of the same steel type as that of the high-strength steel plate.
- the tensile strength of at least one steel plate (high-strength steel plate) out of a plurality of stacked steel plates is 750 MPa to 2500 MPa.
- the cross tensile force (CTS) of the spot welded joint increases in proportion to the strength of the steel plate in the 590 MPa to 780 MPa class steel plate, but decreases in the steel plate having a strength of 780 MPa or more.
- the tensile strength of the high-strength steel sheet is less than 750 MPa, the cross tensile force is originally high and the load on the spot welded joint is small. Therefore, it is hard to produce the problem regarding the deterioration of the fracture form in a welding part, or joint strength. Therefore, the tensile strength of the high-strength steel plate is set to 750 MPa or more.
- the tensile strength of the high-strength steel sheet exceeds 2500 MPa, it becomes difficult to suppress “decrease and variation” in joint strength. Further, along with this, it becomes difficult to suppress the deterioration of the fracture form in the weld and the occurrence of defects and cracks inside the nugget. Therefore, the tensile strength of the high-strength steel plate is set to 2500 MPa or less.
- the tensile strength of the steel sheet to be overlapped with the high-strength steel sheet is not particularly limited.
- the steel plate to be overlapped with the high-strength steel plate may be a high-strength steel plate having a tensile strength of 750 MPa to 2500 MPa, or a steel plate having a tensile strength of less than 750 MPa.
- the tensile strength may be selected according to the steel member used.
- the plate thickness of the high-strength steel plate is not particularly limited. For example, it may be about the thickness (0.5 mm to 3.2 mm) of a high-strength steel plate generally used for the body of an automobile. However, since the stress concentration around the nugget increases as the plate thickness of the high strength steel plate increases, the plate thickness of the high strength steel plate is preferably 2.6 mm or less.
- the thickness of the steel sheet to be overlaid with the high-strength steel sheet is not particularly limited.
- the plate thicknesses of the plurality of steel plates to be stacked may be different from each other. For example, when three or more steel plates are overlapped, the thickness of each of the three or more steel plates may be different. Of the three or more steel plates, at least one may be a high-strength steel plate, and the other may be a mild steel plate. When three or more steel plates are overlapped, the thickness of at least two steel plates may be the same. In general, the thickness of the steel plate is 6 mm or less.
- the carbon equivalent Ceq represented by the following formula (1) of the high-strength steel plate is preferably in the range of 0.20 mass% to 0.55 mass%.

- the C content of the high-strength steel plate is preferably 0.07% by mass to 0.45% by mass.
- Si ((Si: 0.001% to 2.50% by mass)) Si is an element that increases the strength of steel by solid solution strengthening and structure strengthening. However, if the Si content in the steel exceeds 2.50 mass%, the workability of the steel is lowered. On the other hand, it is technically difficult to industrially reduce the Si content in steel to less than 0.001% by mass. Therefore, the Si content of the high-strength steel plate is preferably 0.001% by mass to 2.50% by mass.
- Mn is an element that increases the strength of steel. However, if the Mn content in the steel exceeds 5.0 mass%, the workability of the steel deteriorates. On the other hand, if the Mn content in the steel is less than 0.8% by mass, it is difficult to obtain a tensile strength of 750 MPa or more. Accordingly, the Mn content of the high-strength steel plate is preferably 0.8% by mass to 5.0% by mass.
- the P content in the high-strength steel plate is preferably 0.03% by mass or less.
- the content of P in the high-strength steel plate is preferably 0.001% by mass or more.

- S is an element that embrittles the nugget.
- S is an element that binds to Mn to form coarse MnS and inhibits the workability of steel. If the S content in the steel exceeds 0.01% by mass, cracks in the nugget are likely to occur, and it becomes difficult to obtain sufficiently high joint strength. Furthermore, the workability of steel is reduced. Therefore, the content of S in the high-strength steel plate is preferably 0.01% by mass or less. In addition, it is not preferable in terms of cost to reduce the S content in the steel to less than 0.0001% by mass. Therefore, the content of S in the high-strength steel plate is preferably 0.0001% by mass or more. However, the S content of the high-strength steel plate may be less than 0.0001% by mass.
- N is an element that forms coarse nitrides and degrades the workability of steel.

- Al also functions as a deoxidizer.
- Al is easy to oxidize. If the Al content exceeds 1.00% by mass, inclusions increase, and the workability of the steel tends to deteriorate. Therefore, the Al content of the high-strength steel plate is preferably 1.00% by mass or less.
- the high-strength steel sheet may selectively contain the following elements as necessary in addition to the above main elements.
- Ti, Nb, and V contribute to an increase in steel strength by at least one of precipitation strengthening, fine grain strengthening by suppressing the growth of ferrite crystal grains, and dislocation strengthening by suppressing recrystallization.
- Element if any element has a content in steel of less than 0.005% by mass, the effect of addition hardly appears. On the other hand, if the content in the steel exceeds 0.20% by mass, the workability of the steel is impaired. Accordingly, the content of these elements in the high-strength steel plate is preferably 0.005% by mass to 0.20% by mass.
- B ((B: 0.0001 mass% to 0.01 mass%)) B is an element that strengthens steel by controlling the steel structure. However, if the content of B in the steel is less than 0.0001% by mass, the effect of addition is hardly exhibited. On the other hand, when the content of B in the steel exceeds 0.01% by mass, the addition effect is saturated. Therefore, the content of B in the high-strength steel plate is preferably 0.0001% by mass to 0.01% by mass.
- Cr, Ni, Cu, and Mo are elements that contribute to improving the strength of steel. These elements can be used in place of a part of Mn (strength improving element), for example. However, any element does not contribute to the improvement of strength when the content in steel is less than 0.01% by mass.

- Ca, Ce, Mg, and REM are elements that contribute to improving the workability of steel by reducing the size of the oxide after deoxidation and the size of the sulfide present in the hot-rolled steel sheet.
- the content of these elements in the steel is less than 0.0001% by mass in total, the effect of addition is hardly exhibited.
- the content of these elements in the steel exceeds 1.0% by mass in total, the workability of the steel decreases. Accordingly, the total content of these elements in the high-strength steel plate is preferably 0.0001% by mass to 1.0% by mass.

Abstract
Description
特許文献1には、本通電が終了してから一定時間が経過した後に、テンパー通電を行うことにより、スポット溶接継手(ナゲット部及び熱影響部)を焼鈍して、硬さを低下させる方法が記載されている。
しかし、この方法では、後通電時間を長くすると、ナゲット径が拡大するだけで、組織が通常の溶接と同じになる。
しかし、この方法では、適用可能な鋼板が限定される。さらに、この方法では、溶接に長時間を要して生産性が低い。
しかし、ナゲットの外側で破断する場合には、ナゲットの組織は何の寄与もしないので、ミクロ組織に係る規定は意味がない。
しかし、この方法では、本溶接と後通電との間の時間についての検討が十分になされておらず、継手強度の向上に寄与するものではない。
そこで、本発明は、750MPa~2500MPaの鋼板を少なくとも1枚含む複数枚の鋼板により形成されるスポット溶接継手の十字引張力を向上させることを目的とする。

ここで、ナゲットとは、溶接電極間の通電で溶融し、その後、凝固した鋼板の部位のことである。熱影響部とは、Ac1点以上、溶融温度未満に加熱された鋼板の部位のことである。
まず、スポット溶接に使用する鋼板について説明する。
(鋼種)
鋼種は特に限定されない。例えば、2相組織型(例えば、フェライト中にマルテンサイトを含む組織、フェライト中にベイナイトを含む組織)、加工誘起変態型(フェライト中に残留オーステナイトを含む組織)、焼入れ型(マルテンサイト組織)、微細結晶型(フェライト主体組織)等、何れの型の鋼種でもよい。
複数枚重ね合せた鋼板のうち少なくとも1枚の鋼板(高強度鋼板)の引張強度は、750MPa~2500MPaとする。通常、高強度鋼板の引張強度が増加するほど、高い継手強度が必要である。スポット溶接継手の十字引張力(CTS)は、590MPa~780MPa級鋼板では、鋼板の強度に比例して増加するが、780MPa以上の強度の鋼板では、減少する。
高強度鋼板の板厚は特に限定されない。例えば、自動車の車体等に一般に用いられている高強度鋼板の板厚(0.5mm~3.2mm)程度であればよい。ただし、高強度鋼板の板厚の増加に伴ってナゲットの周囲での応力集中が増加するので、高強度鋼板の板厚は2.6mm以下が好ましい。
高強度鋼板の、以下の(1)式で表される炭素当量Ceqは、0.20質量%~0.55質量%の範囲であるのが好ましい。炭素当量Ceqが0.20質量%未満では、引張強度が、前述した高強度鋼板の引張強度の下限値である750MPa以上の引張強度が得られない。一方、炭素当量Ceqが0.55質量%超では、引張強度が、前述した高強度鋼板の引張強度の上限値である2500MPaを超えるので、好ましくない。高強度鋼板と重ね合せる鋼板のCeqは、どのような値でもよい。
Ceq=[C]+[Si]/30+[Mn]/20+2[P]+4[S] ・・・(1)
[C]、[Si]、[Mn]、[P]、及び[S]は、それぞれC、Si、Mn、P、及びSの各含有量(質量%)である。
前述した高強度鋼板の引張強度(750MPa~2500MPa)を確保できる成分組成を選択すればよい。スポット溶接後の鋼部材が、主として、自動車分野等で使用されることを考慮すれば、高強度鋼板の成分組成は、以下の成分組成が好ましい。なお、以下において、%は質量%を意味する。
Cは、鋼の引張強度を高める元素である。鋼中のCの含有量が多いほど、ナゲットの強度を高めることができる。しかし、鋼中のCの含有量が0.07質量%未満であると、750MPa以上の引張強度を得ることが難しい。一方、鋼中のCの含有量が0.45質量%を超えると、高強度鋼板の加工性が低下する。したがって、高強度鋼板のCの含有量は、0.07質量%~0.45質量%が好ましい。
Siは、固溶強化及び組織強化により、鋼の強度を高める元素である。しかし、鋼中のSiの含有量が2.50質量%を超えると、鋼の加工性が低下する。一方、鋼中のSiの含有量を工業的に0.001質量%未満に低減することは技術的に難しい。したがって、高強度鋼板のSiの含有量は、0.001質量%~2.50質量%が好ましい。
Mnは、鋼の強度を高める元素である。しかし、鋼中のMnの含有量が5.0質量%を超えると、鋼の加工性が劣化する。一方、鋼中のMnの含有量が0.8質量%未満であると、750MPa以上の引張強度を得るのが難しい。したがって、高強度鋼板のMnの含有量は、0.8質量%~5.0質量%が好ましい。
Pは、ナゲットを脆化する元素である。鋼中のPの含有量が0.03質量%を超えると、ナゲット内の割れが生じ易くなり、十分に高い継手強度を得ることが難しい。したがって、高強度鋼板のPの含有量は、0.03質量%以下が好ましい。なお、鋼中のPの含有量を0.001質量%未満に低減することは、コストの点で、好ましくない。したがって、高強度鋼板のPの含有量は、0.001質量%以上が好ましい。ただし、高強度鋼板のPの含有量を、0.001質量%未満にしてもよい。
Sは、ナゲットを脆化する元素である。また、Sは、Mnと結合して粗大なMnSを形成し、鋼の加工性を阻害する元素である。鋼中のSの含有量が0.01質量%を超えると、ナゲット内の割れが生じ易くなることにより、十分に高い継手強度を得ることが難しくなる。さらに、鋼の加工性が低下する。したがって、高強度鋼板のSの含有量は、0.01質量%以下が好ましい。なお、鋼中のSの含有量を0.0001質量%未満に低減することは、コストの点で、好ましくない。したがって、高強度鋼板のSの含有量は、0.0001質量%以上が好ましい。ただし、高強度鋼板のSの含有量を、0.0001質量%未満にしてもよい。
Nは、粗大な窒化物を形成し、鋼の加工性を劣化させる元素である。また、Nは、溶接時のブローホールの発生原因になる元素である。鋼中のNの含有量が0.01質量%を超えると、鋼の加工性の劣化やブローホールの発生が顕著となる。したがって、高強度鋼板のNの含有量は、0.01質量%以下が好ましい。なお、鋼中のNの含有量を0.0005質量%未満に低減することは、コストの点で、好ましくない。したがって、高強度鋼板のNの含有量は、0.0005質量%以上が好ましい。ただし、高強度鋼板のNの含有量を、0.0005質量%未満にしてもよい。
Oは、酸化物を形成し、鋼の加工性を劣化させる元素である。鋼中のOの含有量が0.01質量%を超えると、鋼の加工性の劣化が顕著となる。したがって、高強度鋼板のOの含有量は0.01質量%以下が好ましい。なお、高強度鋼板のOの含有量を0.0005質量%未満に低減することは、コストの点で、好ましくない。したがって、高強度鋼板のOの含有量は、0.0005質量%以上が好ましい。ただし、高強度鋼板のOの含有量を、0.0005質量%未満にしてもよい。
Alは、フェライト安定化元素であり、ベイナイト変態時のセメンタイト析出抑制等の効果がある。このため、鋼組織の制御のために含有されている。また、Alは脱酸材としても機能する。その一方で、Alは酸化しやすい。Alの含有量が1.00質量%を超えていると、介在物が増加することにより、鋼の加工性が劣化しやすくなる。したがって、高強度鋼板のAlの含有量は、1.00質量%以下であることが好ましい。
((Nb:0.005質量%~0.20質量%))
((V :0.005質量%~0.20質量%))
Bは、鋼組織を制御して鋼を強化する元素である。しかし、鋼中のBの含有量が0.0001質量%未満であると、添加効果が発現し難い。一方、鋼中のBの含有量が0.01質量%を超えると、添加効果が飽和する。したがって、高強度鋼板のBの含有量は、0.0001質量%~0.01質量%が好ましい。
((Ni:0.01質量%~2.0質量%))
((Cu:0.01質量%~2.0質量%))
((Mo:0.01質量%~0.8質量%))
高強度鋼板の表面にめっき層が形成されていてもよい。さらに、高強度鋼板と重ね合わせる鋼板の表面にめっき層が形成されていてもよい。めっき層の種類は、例えば、Zn系、Zn-Fe系、Zn-Ni系、Zn-Al系、Zn-Mg系、Pb-Sn系、Sn-Zn系、Al-Si系等が挙げられる。
まず、スポット溶接方法の第1の例を説明する。
[スポット溶接]
図1は、スポット溶接を開始する際の、少なくとも1枚の高強度鋼板を含む2枚の鋼板と溶接電極の配置の一例を示す図である。図1に示すように、鋼板1A、1Bを、板面が互いに向き合うように重ね合わせる。重ね合わせられた鋼板1A、1Bを、上下から溶接電極2A、2Bで挟み、所要の加圧力を加えて、溶接電極2A、2Bを通電する。
まず、電流値が本溶接電流IW(kA)になるまで、電流値を0(ゼロ)から漸増(アップスロープ)させる。そして、電流値を本溶接電流IW(kA)にして本溶接を行う。本溶接が終了すると、電流値を0(ゼロ)にし、電流値が0(ゼロ)の状態を本溶接後冷却時間(凝固時間)tS(msec)保持する。本溶接後冷却時間tS(msec)が経過すると、電流値を後通電電流IP(kA)にし、電流値が後通電電流IP(kA)の状態を後通電時間tP(msec)保持し、後通電を行う。後通電時間tP(msec)が経過すると、電流値を0(ゼロ)にする。
なお、図3に示す保持時間tH(msec)は、後述するように、後通電を終了した後、加圧力FE(N)を保持する時間である。
また、電流値が本溶接電流IW(kA)になるまで、電流値を0(ゼロ)から漸増(アップスロープ)させずに、電流値を直ちに本溶接電流IW(kA)にしてもよい。
重ね合わせた複数枚の鋼板を、溶接電極2A及び2Bにより、以下の(2)式を満たす加圧力FEで加圧しながら、本溶接電流IWを通電する。
1960×h≦FE≦3920×h ・・・(2)
h:鋼板の板厚(mm)
以上の加圧力FEで鋼板1A、1Bを加圧しながら、溶接電極2A、2Bに、本溶接電流IWを通電し、本溶接を行う。本溶接電流IW及び本溶接時間(本溶接電流IWを流している時間)は特に限定されない。従来、所要の大きさのナゲットを安定して得るのに採用している溶接電流、通電時間と同程度の溶接電流、通電時間を、本溶接電流IW及び本溶接時間として採用すればよい。
本溶接電流IWを、所定の時間、溶接電極2A、2Bに通電し、当該通電が終了した直後、本溶接のとき(本溶接電流IWを通電しているとき)の加圧力FEをそのまま保持しながら、通電を止める。そして、以下の式(3)を満たす本溶接後冷却時間tS(msec)、その状態を保持する。これにより、溶融部を、当該溶融部の外周(すなわち溶融部の他の領域との境界)から凝固させて、内側に未凝固域が残る殻状の凝固域を形成する。なお、以下の説明では、溶融部の他の領域との境界を、必要に応じて溶融境界と称する。
7×h+5≦tS≦300 ・・・(3)
h:鋼板の板厚(mm)
鋼板1A、1Bに加圧力FEで加圧しながら溶接電極2A、2Bに本溶接電流IWを通電すると、凝固してナゲットとなる溶融部が形成される。その後、通電が終了すると、溶融境界3aから凝固が始まり、本溶接後冷却時間tSが経過すると、凝固域5が形成される。この時点で、凝固域5の内部には、未凝固域6が残る。凝固域5の周囲には、熱影響部4が形成される。
図5は、本溶接後冷却時間tSと鋼板の板厚hとの関係の一例を示す図である。
図5において、第1の非通常溶接の溶接継手におけるCTSが、第1の通常溶接の溶接継手におけるCTSに比べ、20%以上向上した場合の、本溶接後冷却時間tS及び鋼板の板厚hに基づくプロットを○で示す。また、第1の非通常溶接の溶接継手におけるCTSが、第1の通常溶接の溶接継手におけるCTSに比べ、向上するが向上代が20%未満の場合、又は向上しなかった場合の、本溶接後冷却時間tS及び鋼板の板厚hに基づくプロットを▲で示す。図5に示すように、横軸h(mm)はであり、縦軸はtS(msec)である。
図5において、○と▲の境界線を回帰曲線として求めた。その結果から、前記(3)式の下限値を定める線形式を得た。
ただし、スポット溶接継手の生産性の低下を避けるため、本溶接後冷却時間tSを、「7×h+5」(msec)以上250(msec)以下にするのがより好ましい。また、凝固域5の形成を促すには、本溶接後冷却時間tSの間、無通電とすることが好ましい。ただし、凝固域5の形成速度と温度を調整するため、本溶接後冷却時間tS、本溶接電流IWの0.5倍以下の電流を、溶接電極2A、2Bに通電してもよい。
なお、(3)式の鋼板の板厚hとして、例えば、前記(2)式の鋼板の板厚hと同じ値を採用する。また、本溶接後冷却時間tS、本溶接のときの加圧力FEをそのまま保持すれば、作業効率上、好ましい。しかしながら、本溶接後冷却時間tSにおける加圧力FEを、前記(2)式を満たす範囲で、本溶接のときの加圧力FEと異ならせてもよい。
本溶接後冷却時間tSが経過して、所要の幅の凝固域5が形成された直後、本溶接のときの加圧力FE(N)を保持して、以下の(4)式を満たす後通電電流IP(kA)を、以下の(5)式を満たす後通電時間tP(msec)、溶接電極2A、2Bに通電し、後通電を行う。
IW:本溶接電流(kA)
48/(α2-0.44)≦tP ・・・(5)
α=IP/IW
したがって、(5)式を、以下のように書き換えることができる。
48/(IP/IW)2-0.44)≦tP ・・・(5)
後通電電流IPが「0.66×IW」(kA)未満であると、凝固域5及び熱影響部4は入熱が十分でなく、組織や偏析を改善する効果(組織改善・偏析改善の効果)が得られない。
よって、本実施形態では、後通電電流IPを、「0.66×IW」(kA)以上「IW」(kA)未満とする。ただし、組織や偏析を改善する効果をより確実に得るために、後通電電流IPを、「0.70×IW」(kA)以上「0.98×IW」(kA)以下にするのが好ましい。なお、本溶接電流IWとして実効値を採用する場合には、後通電電流IPも実効値を採用するのが好ましい。また、本溶接電流IWとして最大値を採用する場合には、後通電電流IPも最大値を採用するのが好ましい。
図6は、後通電時間tPと、後通電電流IPを本溶接電流IWで除した値の自乗した値((IP/IW)2)との関係の第1の例を示す図である。
図6において、第1の非通常溶接の溶接継手におけるCTSが、第1の通常溶接の溶接継手におけるCTSに比べ、20%以上向上した場合の、後通電時間tP、後通電電流IP、及び本溶接電流IWに基づくプロットを○で示す。また、第1の非通常溶接の溶接継手におけるCTSが、第1の通常溶接の溶接継手におけるCTSに比べ、向上するが向上代が20%未満の場合、又は向上しなかった場合の、後通電時間tP、後通電電流IP、及び本溶接電流IWに基づくプロットを▲で示す。図6に示すように、横軸は(IP/IW)2であり、縦軸はtP(ms)である。
Q∝(α2-β)×tP ・・・(6)
α=IP/IW
したがって、スポット溶接部の靭性を改善するための条件は、以下の(7)式を変形して(8)式となる。
A<(α2-β)×tP ・・・(7)
A/(α2-β)<tP ・・・(8)
以上の条件で後通電を行った後、相互に重ね合わせた鋼板1A、1Bを、溶接電極2A、2Bで、以下の(9)式で規定する保持時間tH(msec)、加圧保持した後、加圧を解放する。
0≦tH≦300 ・・・(9)
また、後通電のときにもナゲット3の温度が低下する。このため、保持時間tHを短くした場合でも収縮欠陥や割れが生じにくい。したがって、溶接電極2A、2Bを鋼板1A、1Bから即時に離隔させることが可能であれば、保持時間tHを0(ゼロ)にしてもよい。保持時間を0(ゼロ)にしない場合には、(9)式は、以下の(9a)式になる。
0<tH≦300 ・・・(9a)
次に、スポット溶接方法の第2の例を説明する。スポット溶接方法の第1の例では、本溶接と後通電との2回の通電を行う場合を例に挙げて説明した。これに対し、スポット溶接方法の第2の例では、前通電を行った後に、本溶接と後通電とを行う場合を例に挙げて説明する。このように、本例は、第1の例に対し、前通電が追加されたことと、前通電が追加されたことにより、前記(5)式を変更することが可能になったこととが異なる。したがって、本例の説明において、第1の例と同一の部分については、図1~図7に付した符号と同一の符号を付す等して詳細な説明を省略する。
まず、電流値を前通電電流If(kA)にし、電流値が前通電電流If(kA)の状態を前通電時間tf(msec)保持し、前通電を行う。前通電時間tf(msec)が経過すると、電流値を0(ゼロ)にし、電流値が0(ゼロ)の状態を前通電後冷却時間tC(msec)保持する。前通電後冷却時間tCが経過すると、電流値を本溶接電流IW(kA)にして本溶接を行う。本溶接が終了すると、電流値を0(ゼロ)にし、電流値が0(ゼロ)の状態を本溶接後冷却時間(凝固時間)tS(msec)保持する。本溶接後冷却時間tS(msec)が経過すると、電流値を後通電電流IP(kA)にし、電流値が後通電電流IP(kA)の状態を後通電時間tP(msec)保持し、後通電を行う。後通電時間tP(msec)が経過すると、電流値を0(ゼロ)にする。なお、図8に示す保持時間tH(msec)は、第1の例で説明したように、後通電を終了した後、加圧力FE(N)を保持する時間である。また、前通電の開始時に、電流値を直ちに前通電電流If(kA)にせず、電流値が前通電電流If(kA)になるまで、電流値を0(ゼロ)から漸増(アップスロープ)させてもよい。
重ね合わせた複数枚の鋼板を、溶接電極2A及び2Bにより、前記(2)式を満たす加圧力FEで加圧しながら、前通電電流Ifを通電する。前通電においては、隣り合う2枚の鋼板1A、1Bの隙間を抑制するために、重ね合わせた複数枚の鋼板を加圧する。本実施形態では、前通電における加圧力FEの範囲を、本溶接及び後通電における加圧力FEの範囲と同じ範囲にすることにより、作業効率を高めるようにする。
以上の加圧力FEで鋼板1A、1Bを加圧しながら、溶接電極2A、2B間に、以下の(10)式を満たす前通電電流If(kA)を、以下の(11)式を満たす前通電時間tf(msec)、通電し、前通電を行う。
IW:本溶接電流(kA)
20≦tf ・・・(11)
以上のことから、本実施形態では、前通電電流Ifを、本溶接電流IWの0.4倍以上、本溶接電流IW未満とする。ただし、散りの発生をより確実に抑制するために、前通電電流Ifを、本溶接電流IWの0.6倍以上、本溶接電流IWの0.95倍以下の範囲にするのが好ましい。
なお、本溶接電流IWとして実効値を採用する場合には、前通電電流Ifも実効値を採用するのが好ましい。また、本溶接電流IWとして最大値を採用する場合には、前通電電流Ifも最大値を採用するのが好ましい。
前記(10)式に示す範囲の本溶接電流IWであれば、前通電時間tfが長くても、前溶接の際に散りが発生することを抑制することができる。したがって、前通電時間tfの上限値は、特に定めないが、スポット溶接継手の生産性を考慮すれば、300(msec)以下が好ましい。
前通電電流Ifを、前通電時間tf、通電し、当該通電が終了した直後、前通電のとき(前通電電流Ifを通電しているとき)の加圧力FEをそのまま保持しながら、通電を止める。そして、以下の(12)式を満たす前通電後冷却時間tC(msec)、その状態を保持する。
0≦tC<200+7×h ・・・(12)
h:鋼板の板厚(mm)
図9において、前述した調査において散りが発生しなかった場合の、前通電後冷却時間tC及び鋼板の板厚hに基づくプロットを○で示す。また、前述した調査において散りが発生した場合の、前通電後冷却時間tC及び鋼板の板厚hに基づくプロットを▲で示す。図9に示すように、横軸h(mm)はであり、縦軸はtC(msec)である。
図9において、○と▲の境界線を回帰曲線として求めた。その結果から、前記(12)式の上限値を定める線形式を得た。
なお、(12)式の鋼板の板厚hとして、例えば、前記(2)式の鋼板の板厚hと同じ値を採用する。また、前通電後冷却時間tCに、前通電のときの加圧力FEをそのまま保持すれば、作業効率上、好ましい。しかしながら、前通電後冷却時間tCにおける加圧力FEを、前記(2)式を満たす範囲で、前通電のときの加圧力FEと異ならせてもよい。
また、前通電後冷却時間tCを確保する場合には、(12)式は、以下の(12a)式になる。
0<tC<200+7×h ・・・(12a)
前通電後冷却時間tCが経過した直後、前通電のときの加圧力FEをそのまま保持しながら、溶接電極2A、2B間に、本溶接電流IWを通電し、本溶接を行う。第1の例で説明したように、本溶接電流IW及び本溶接時間(本溶接電流IWを通電している時間)は特に限定されない。なお、本溶接時間に、前通電のときの加圧力FEをそのまま保持すれば、作業効率上、好ましい。しかしながら、本溶接時間における加圧力FEを、前記(2)式を満たす範囲で、前通電のときの加圧力FEと異ならせてもよい。
本溶接電流IWを、所定の時間、通電し、当該通電が終了した直後、前通電及び本溶接のときの加圧力FEをそのまま保持しながら、通電を止める。そして、前記(3)式を満たす本溶接後冷却時間tS(msec)、その状態を保持する。
本溶接後冷却時間tSを決定する方法は、第1の例と同じである。なお、第1の例で説明したように、スポット溶接継手の生産性の低下を避けるため、本溶接後冷却時間tSを、「7×h+5」(msec)以上250(msec)以下にするのがより好ましい。また、凝固域5の形成を促すには、本溶接後冷却時間tSの間、無通電とすることが好ましいが、凝固域5の形成速度と温度を調整するため、本溶接後冷却時間tSに、本溶接電流IWの0.5倍以下の電流を通電してもよい。また、本溶接後冷却時間tSに、前通電及び本溶接のときの加圧力FEをそのまま保持すれば、作業効率上、好ましい。しかしながら、本溶接後冷却時間tSにおける加圧力FEを、前記(2)式を満たす範囲で、前通電及び本溶接のときの加圧力FEと異ならせてもよい。
本溶接後冷却時間tSが経過して、所要の幅の凝固域5が形成された直後、前通電及び本溶接のときの加圧力FE(N)を保持して、以下の(13)式を満たす後通電電流IP(kA)を、以下の(14)式を満たす後通電時間tP(msec)、通電し、後通電を行う。
IW:本溶接電流(kA)
48/(α2-0.4)≦tP ・・・(14)
α=IP/IW
したがって、(14)式は、以下の式のように書き換えることができる。
48/(IP/IW)2-0.4)≦tP ・・・(14)
図10は、後通電時間tPと、後通電電流IPを本溶接電流IWで除した値を自乗した値((IP/IW)2)との関係の第2の例を示す図である。
(14)式は、前記(5)式に対応する。前記(5)式では係数βは「0.44」である。これに対し、(14)式では係数βは「0.4」である。したがって、第1の例に比べて第2の例の方が、後通電時間tPの下限値が小さくなる。前通電を行うことにより熱影響部4に対する総入熱量が大きくなるためであると考えられる。
また、本例のように、(14)式を採用すれば、後通電時間tPの下限値を小さくすることができる。ただし、例えば、前通電を行う場合と行わない場合の後通電時間tPを統一することにより、後通電時間tPの設定の間違いを防止するために、本例においても(14)式ではなく、前記(5)式を採用してもよい。
以上の条件で後通電を行った後、相互に重ね合わせた鋼板1A、1Bを、溶接電極2A、2Bで、前記(9)式で規定される保持時間tH(msec)、加圧保持した後、加圧を解放する。
0≦tH≦300 ・・・(9)
次に、本実施形態のスポット溶接継手について説明する。なお、以下の説明では、前記第1の通常溶接の溶接継手と前記第2の通常溶接の溶接継手を総称する場合、これらを必要に応じて通常溶接の溶接継手と称する。また、前記第1の非通常溶接の溶接継手と前記第2の非通常溶接の溶接継手を総称する場合、これらを必要に応じて非通常溶接の溶接継手と称する。
図12Aは、スポット溶接により鋼板1A、1Bの表面に形成された溶接痕の中心を通り、且つ、鋼板1A、1Bの板厚方向に沿って切った断面を模式的に示す図である。溶接痕の中心としては、例えば、溶接電極2A、2Bの(最先端の領域の)狙い位置(打点位置)を採用することができる。また、実際に形成された溶接痕の輪郭を円で近似し、当該円の中心を溶接痕とすることができる。
ここで、正方形の領域123の中心の位置は、前記断面において、ナゲット3の端部の位置120から、ナゲット3の端部を示す線の当該位置120における接線121に垂直な方向に100(μm)離れた位置102である。
また、鉄系炭化物の最長部の長さとしては、例えば、前記断面において、鉄系炭化物の端部を示す線の任意の2点間の距離の最大値を採用することができる。また、前記断面において、鉄系炭化物の重心の位置を通る直線の長さであって、鉄系炭化物の端部を構成する線の2点間の直線の長さの最大値を、鉄系炭化物の最長部の長さとして採用してもよい。
なお、表1に示すCeqは、(1)式で示される炭素当量である。また、表1では、表記の都合上、Cの含有量のみを示す。鋼板A~Eは、前述した成分組成を、前述した上下限の範囲内で含有する鋼板である。
前記鉄系炭化物計数領域を得るために、電極の狙い位置を溶接痕の中心とした。そして、当該溶接痕の中心を通り、且つ、2枚の鋼板の板厚方向に沿うように、当該2枚の鋼板を切断し、切断面を研磨した。この研磨後の切断面を走査型電子顕微鏡で観察し、前記鉄系炭化物計数領域を確定した。まず、前記研磨後の切断面のナゲットの端部の位置であって、スポット溶接継手の板厚方向の中心から板厚方向に、2枚の鋼板の溶接前の総板厚の1/8倍の長さだけ離れた2つの位置のうちの1つを特定した。この位置から、ナゲットの端部を示す線(ナゲットの輪郭を示す線)の当該位置における接線に垂直な方向に100(μm)離れた位置を、前記研磨後の切断面の熱影響部内の領域から特定した。そして、この位置を中心とする領域であって、2枚の鋼板の板厚方向、板面方向をそれぞれ縦方向、横方向とする一辺が10μmの正方形の領域を前記鉄系炭化物計数領域とした。また、鉄系炭化物の端部を示す線の任意の2点間の距離の最大値を最長部とした。
なお、鋼板中のPの含有量が0.03質量%を超える場合と、Sの含有量が0.01質量%を超える場合には、溶接条件に関わらず、20%以上の通常溶接継手強度比が得られなかった。また、炭素当量Ceq及びその他の成分組成については、前述した範囲でない場合に、高強度鋼板の特性(引張強度、加工性等)が低下することが確認された。
