Definitions
- the present invention relates to a laser welded joint that increases joint strength and a method for manufacturing the same, and more particularly, to a laser welded joint that increases joint strength of automobile members.
- Spot welding is widely used as a welding method for automobile parts and home appliances.
- spot welding since it is necessary to press and weld the material with the upper and lower electrodes, a space is required to enter the electrodes above and below the place to be welded. For this reason, spot welding is not suitable for one-side welding, and there is a drawback that the shape of the product to be welded is also restricted.
- spot welding becomes intermittent welding, there exists a problem that rigidity falls compared with wire welding. Further, spot welding is not suitable for welding at places where airtightness is required.
- laser welding unlike resistance spot welding in which a steel plate is sandwiched between electrodes, allows welding from one side and minimization of the flange. Moreover, since it has the characteristic that the rigidity of a member can be increased in order to weld linearly, there is an example in which laser welding is used instead of spot welding.
- the heat source for laser welding is focused laser light. Since the laser has a single wavelength and no phase difference, it can be condensed at an extremely small point with an optical lens to obtain high-density energy. In laser welding, deep penetration high-speed welding is possible by using a concentrated heat source with high energy density.
- Laser welding is a highly efficient welding method. Since the laser is used as a heat source, the heat input can be controlled reliably and easily as compared with arc welding such as TIG welding or MIG welding. For this reason, welding conditions, such as a welding speed, the irradiation output of a laser beam, and a shield gas flow rate, can be set appropriately. Furthermore, in laser welding, since the weld metal is in a very local molten state during welding, the influence of heat applied to the base material is small, and a high-quality welded joint with little distortion and deformation can be obtained.

- Patent Document 1 laser welding is performed again beside the welded portion that ensures the joint strength of the welded joint, the heat affected zone of the welded portion is tempered, and the hardness of the heat affected zone is again measured by laser.
- a technique is disclosed in which the strength of the shear joint is improved by setting the hardness of the heat-affected zone of the welded portion to 90% or less.
- Patent Document 2 since the joint strength is reduced in the region of the crater formed at the end of welding, a pre-processed weld bead is formed at a part of the planned welding site using a remote laser head, and the pre-processed weld bead
- the main weld bead is formed from the direction opposite to the forming direction of the steel plate, and the bulge of the weld bead formed by the pretreatment weld bead is forced to flow into the crater formed by the pretreatment weld bead.
- a technique for preventing the formation of a crater is disclosed.
- Patent Document 1 has a problem of increasing the welding time because it is necessary to perform welding twice in close proximity.
- Patent Document 2 since it is necessary to perform welding twice at the same location, in addition to the problem of increasing the welding time, it is necessary to use an expensive remote laser head, which increases production costs. There's a problem.

- FIG. 2 shows a case where the metal body layer 5 is formed on the entire upper surface of the lower metal plate 4.
- the metal body layer 5 only needs to be formed at least at the planned welding location a of the lower metal plate 4, and it is not necessary to form the metal body layer 5 on the entire upper surface of the lower metal plate 4.
- the metal layer 5 is also formed at the planned welding location of the lower metal plate 4 in the welding progress direction. When three or more sheets are overlapped, it is only necessary that a metal layer is formed on one overlapping surface at least.
- the thickness of the metal layer is preferably 0.06 t 1/2 -0.01 [mm] or less, where t [mm] is the total thickness of the stacked metal plates to be welded.
- t [mm] is the total thickness of the stacked metal plates to be welded.

- the thickness of the layer is preferably 1 ⁇ m or more.
- the length of the metal body layer 5 in the welding progress direction (hereinafter referred to as “the length of the metal body layer”) preferably coincides with the length of the planned welding portion in the welding progress direction. Moreover, the length (hereinafter referred to as “the width of the metal body layer”) perpendicular to the welding progress direction of the metal body layer 5 and parallel to the steel plate surface is equal to or greater than the width of the planned welding location a and 0.1 mm or greater. It is preferable to do this. If the width of the metal layer is less than the width of the planned welding location a or less than 0.1 mm, it is difficult to increase the width of the molten metal at the joint interface.
- the metal body of the metal body layer 5 is not particularly limited as long as the boiling point is higher than the melting point of the metal plate. If the metal body has a boiling point higher than the melting point of the metal plate, the same effect can be obtained in principle. For example, an amorphous oxide deviating from the stoichiometric composition may be used.

- the zinc oxide powder is dispersed as follows: the zinc oxide layer width is 0.6 mm, the zinc oxide layer length is 100 mm, and the zinc oxide layer thickness t is 1 to 100 ⁇ m. In the case of zinc oxide powder having an average primary particle size of 0.025 ⁇ m, it is exemplified that 0.34 to 13.44 mg is sprayed.
- the type and component composition of the metal plate are not particularly limited, and may be a metal plate that can obtain mechanical characteristics and the like according to the application.

- board thickness of a metal plate is not specifically limited.
- the present invention is most effective when the thickness of the metal plate is in the range of 0.5 to 3.2 mm. Even if the plate thickness is less than 0.5 mm, the effect of improving the weld joint strength of the weld can be obtained, but since the joint strength affects the plate thickness, the effect of improving the overall strength of the joint is reduced. The application range of members is limited. Moreover, even if the plate thickness is over 3.2 mm, the effect of improving the weld joint strength of the welded portion can be obtained, but the range of application of the metal plate member is limited from the viewpoint of reducing the weight of the metal plate member.
- the number of metal plates to be stacked is not particularly limited, and the manufacturing method of the present invention is not limited to the application when laser welding is performed by stacking two metal plates, but by stacking three or more metal plates. You may apply when carrying out laser welding.
- the types, component compositions, and plate thicknesses of the respective metal plates may all be the same or different from each other.
- a metal layer may be formed between the metal plates, or may be formed between some metal plates.
- the shape of the metal plate used for manufacturing the welded joint may be at least a part where the welded joint is formed, and may not be a plate as a whole.
- the metal plate is press-molded into a specific shape of a cross-sectional hat shape.
- the flange portion of the member is included.
- it is not limited to what is comprised from a separate metal plate,
- superposed the edge part may be sufficient.
- the laser welding apparatus to be used is not particularly limited, and a conventional laser welding apparatus can be employed.
- a remote laser head can also be used for the laser welding apparatus.
- the remote laser head is expensive, it is preferable to use the same as the conventional laser welding apparatus.
- a conventional laser welding apparatus includes a laser oscillator, an optical path, a condensing optical system, a drive system, a shield gas system, and the like.
- the laser oscillator for example, a laser such as a CO 2 laser, a YAG laser, a fiber laser, a DISK laser, or a semiconductor laser can be used.
- the laser oscillated by the laser oscillator is guided to the condensing optical system through the optical path.
- the condensing optical system is composed of a parabolic mirror, a condensing lens, and the like, and condenses the transmitted laser.
- the focal position of the laser is variable, but is set on the upper surface of the upper metal plate 3, for example. Then, welding is performed by irradiating the focused laser beam to the steel plate. And a drive system is moved and welding is advanced. Further, it is possible to use a semiconductor laser in which light emitted from an oscillator is guided directly to a condensing optical system without using an optical path. Shielding gas may be used as necessary.
- the laser welding method can employ conventional laser welding conditions except that the welding is performed on the workpiece 2 having the metal layer 5 between the metal plates.
- a laser output of 2 to 30 kW, a focused spot diameter of 0.1 to 1.0 mm welding is performed on a workpiece 2 having a zinc oxide layer as a metal layer 5 between steel plates.
- the welding can be performed at a speed of 0.1 to 60 m / min.
- the keyhole formed in the laser welding may be formed so as to penetrate the lower metal plate 4.
- the shape of the welded portion may be not only a straight line but also a curved line, a circular shape, a donut shape, or the like.
- the metal body is caught in the molten metal, but since the boiling point of the metal body is higher than the melting point of the metal plate, it does not immediately become a gas in the molten metal. However, since the temperature inside and around the keyhole becomes even higher, the metal body becomes vaporized particles, thereby increasing the pressure in the keyhole. As a result, the molten metal is pushed out into the gap between the metal plates, and the width of the molten metal at the joining interface is 0.6 t 1/3 +0.14 [mm, where the total thickness of the stacked metal plates is t [mm]. It is possible to make the width larger than the width of the weld metal on the front surface and the back surface of the metal plate which are preferably welded in piles. Thus, by expanding the width of the molten metal at the joining interface, a laser welded joint with improved shear joint strength can be obtained.
- the shear joint strength of a laser welded joint can be improved using an ordinary laser welding machine without using an expensive remote laser head. Further, since the heat treatment becomes unnecessary by providing the metal layer, the welding time is not increased, and further, the thermal deformation due to the heat treatment step can be suppressed, so that the accuracy of the member is improved.
- Example 1 Two steel plates having a plate thickness of 1.6 mm and 30 mm ⁇ 100 mm were prepared. Zinc oxide powder (ZnO) is sprayed on the upper surface of one steel plate so as to have a thickness of 20 ⁇ m to form a zinc oxide layer, and the other steel plate is overlapped on this zinc oxide layer. It was created. In addition, two steel plates having the same dimensions are prepared, a zinc oxide layer is not formed on the upper surface of one steel plate, a thickness adjusting member having a thickness of 20 ⁇ m is arranged at a portion that is not a welded portion, and the other steel plate is attached. The material to be welded 2 having a gap of 20 ⁇ m between the steel plates was created by superimposing them. The welded materials 1 and 2 were prepared in two pieces each for laser beam welding to perform cross-sectional observation and shear tensile test of the welded portion.
- test pieces 1 and 2 were welded at 30 mm using a YAG laser under the welding conditions of a spot diameter of 0.6 mm, a laser output of 4.5 kW, and a welding speed of 4.0 mm / min.
- the welded materials 1 and 2 that are welded are referred to as test pieces 1 and 2, respectively.
- test pieces 1 and 2 were cut in parallel to the stacking direction of the steel plates including the welded part in order to observe the cross section of the welded part.
- the width of the weld metal at the joint interface of the laser welded weld was measured.
- FIG. 3 shows the relationship between the presence or absence of the zinc oxide layer and the width of the joint interface of the weld.
- the test piece 1 has a weld interface width of about 1.5 times that of the test piece 2.
- the test piece 1 has a zinc oxide layer disposed between steel plates, and the test piece 2 has a thickness adjusting member disposed at a portion that is not a welded portion so that the distance between the steel plates in the test pieces 1 and 2 is the same. Therefore, the difference in the width of the joint interface between the welds in the test pieces 1 and 2 is derived from the action of the zinc oxide layer.
- FIG. 4 shows the relationship between the presence of the zinc oxide layer and the shear joint strength. From FIG. 4, the test piece 1 has a shear joint strength improved by about 10% with respect to the test piece 2.
- the relationship between the presence or absence of the zinc oxide layer to the width of the weld interface and the shear joint strength is the same, that is, when having a zinc oxide layer. Since the shear joint strength is increased, the shear joint strength is improved in the test piece 1 because the width of the joint interface of the welded portion is increased. The reason why the width of the joint interface of the welded portion is increased is that the molten metal is pushed out to the overlapped portion by vaporizing zinc oxide in the vicinity of the joint interface in the keyhole and increasing the internal pressure.
- Example 2 The effect of zinc oxide layer thickness on shear joint strength was investigated.
- a test piece was prepared in the same manner as the test piece 1 except that the thickness of the zinc oxide layer was 1 ⁇ m, 20 ⁇ m, 40 ⁇ m, 50 ⁇ m, and 100 ⁇ m, and was welded under the same laser welding conditions. And about these test pieces, the shear tension test was implemented based on JISZ3136.
- FIG. 5 shows the relationship between the thickness of the zinc oxide layer and the shear joint strength.
- FIG. 5 also shows the relationship between the thickness of the zinc oxide layers of the test pieces 1 and 2 and the shear joint strength. From FIG. 5, the shear strength of the test piece with a zinc oxide layer thickness of 1 ⁇ m was improved as compared with the test piece 2. However, the test piece in which the thickness of the zinc oxide layer was 100 ⁇ m produced blowholes in the weld metal at the joint interface, and the shear joint strength was lower than that of the test piece 2.
- the shear joint strength of a laser welded joint can be improved without increasing the welding time using an ordinary laser welding machine without using an expensive remote laser head. Therefore, the present invention has high industrial applicability.

Abstract
Description
重ね合わせて溶接された金属板の合計板厚をt[mm]としたとき、接合界面の溶接金属の幅が0.6t1/3+0.14[mm]以上であることを特徴とするレーザ溶接継手。
上記金属板の一方の面上の溶接予定箇所に、沸点が前記金属板の融点よりも高い金属又は金属化合物の層を形成し、
他方の金属板を上記金属又は金属化合物の層に重ね合わせ、
上記金属又は金属化合物の層を含む領域が溶融するように鋼板の重ね方向からレーザを照射してレーザ溶接することを特徴とするレーザ溶接継手の製造方法。
以下、説明を簡便とするために、金属板を2枚とし、金属板の間に金属体層を有する被溶接材について、図面を用いて説明する。後述するように、本発明における金属板の枚数は2枚に限るものではない。図2に、金属板の間に金属体層を有する被溶接材を示す。なお、以下、金属板の重ね合わせ方向において、レーザを照射する側を上側として、他方を下側とする。
下側金属板4の上面に金属体層5を形成する方法は、特に限定されるものではない。たとえば、金属体の粉末を水やアルコールに分散し、刷毛などで塗布したのち乾燥させて形成することができる。また、金属体が亜鉛めっき鋼板の場合は、加熱処理することにより、酸化亜鉛層を形成することもできる。また、金属体粉末をそのまま盛ってレーザ溶接してもよい。金属体粉末を盛った後に、レーザ溶接の前に加熱処理してもよい。加熱処理の方法としては、加熱炉に入れる、ホットプレートで加熱する、アーク、レーザ、赤外線等の熱源を直接金属体に当てる、高周波誘導加熱により加熱する等の方法が考えられる。また、金属板の製造過程で、金属板の表面に金属体を付与することもできる。
溶接継手の製造に用いられる金属板の形状は、少なくとも溶接継手を形成する部分が板状であればよく、全体が板でなくともよく、たとえば、断面ハット形の特定の形状にプレス成型された部材のフランジ部などを含むものである。また、別々の金属板から構成されるものに限定されず、1枚の金属板を管状などの所定の形状に成形して、端部を重ね合わせたものの重ね溶接継手であってもよい。
本発明では、用いるレーザ溶接装置は特に限定されるものでなく、従来のレーザ溶接装置を採用することができる。レーザ溶接装置に、リモートレーザヘッドを用いることもできる。ただし、リモートレーザヘッドは高価であるので、従来のレーザ溶接装置と同様のものを使用することが好ましい。
レーザ溶接方法は、金属板の間に金属体層5を有する被溶接材2に溶接する以外は、従来のレーザ溶接の条件を採用することができる。たとえば、従来のレーザ溶接装置を用いて、鋼板の間に金属体層5として酸化亜鉛層を有する被溶接材2に、レーザ出力2~30kW、集光スポット径0.1~1.0mm、溶接速度0.1~60m/minの溶接条件で行うことができる。
板厚1.6mm、30mm×100mmの鋼板を2枚用意した。一方の鋼板の上面に厚さ20μmとなるように、酸化亜鉛粉末(ZnO)を散布して、酸化亜鉛層を形成し、この酸化亜鉛層に、他方の鋼板を重ね合わせて、被溶接材1を作成した。また、同様の寸法の鋼板を2枚用意し、一方の鋼板の上面に、酸化亜鉛層を形成せず、溶接箇所でない部分に、厚さ20μmの厚さ調整部材を配置し、他方の鋼板を重ね合わせて、鋼板の間に20μmの隙間を有する被溶接材2を作成した。なお、被溶接材1及び2は、レーザ溶接後に、溶接部の断面観察及びせん断引張試験を行うため、それぞれ、2片ずつ作成した。
せん断継手強度に対する酸化亜鉛層の厚さの影響を調査した。試験片は、酸化亜鉛層の厚さを1μm、20μm、40μm、50μm、100μmとしたことを除いて、試験片1と同様に作成し、同様のレーザ溶接条件で溶接した。そして、これら試験片について、JISZ3136に基づき、せん断引張試験を実施した。
