Description

レーザ溶接継手の製造方法、レーザ溶接継手および自動車用骨格部品Laser welded joint manufacturing method, laser welded joint, and automotive framework parts
 本発明は、レーザ溶接継手の製造方法、レーザ溶接継手および自動車用骨格部品に関する。 The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a laser welded joint, a laser welded joint, and an automobile frame part.
 従来、自動車の構造部材の溶接には抵抗スポット溶接が用いられている。しかし、抵抗スポット溶接には、溶接に時間がかかるという問題や分流のためピッチを狭く出来ないという問題、さらには溶接機のガンによる空間的な制約があるという問題がある。そのため、近年、従来のスポット溶接に加えて、重ね合わせた鋼板の表面にレーザビームを照射して鋼板を接合するレーザ溶接の検討が行われてきている。レーザ溶接では、重ね合わせた鋼板の表面にレーザビームを照射して鋼板のレーザビーム照射部位を溶融および凝固させることによってビードが形成されると共に鋼板が接合されてレーザ溶接継手が得られる。しかし、ビードの終端側で割れが発生するという問題があり、割れが発生すると外観が悪くなる。外観が優れていることが求められている自動車の構造部材としては、該割れにより外観が悪くなったレーザ溶接継手は使い難い。また、割れが発生すると、レーザ溶接継手の剥離強度が低くなるという問題もある。 Conventionally, resistance spot welding is used for welding structural members of automobiles. However, resistance spot welding has a problem that it takes a long time to weld, a problem that the pitch cannot be narrowed due to a diversion, and a problem that there is a spatial restriction due to the gun of the welding machine. For this reason, in recent years, in addition to conventional spot welding, studies have been made on laser welding in which the steel plates are joined by irradiating the surface of the superposed steel plates with a laser beam. In laser welding, a laser beam is irradiated on the surface of the stacked steel plates to melt and solidify the laser beam irradiated portion of the steel plates, thereby forming beads and joining the steel plates to obtain a laser welded joint. However, there is a problem that cracks occur on the end side of the bead, and when the cracks occur, the appearance deteriorates. As a structural member of an automobile that is required to have an excellent appearance, it is difficult to use a laser welded joint whose appearance has deteriorated due to the crack. Moreover, when a crack generate | occur | produces, there also exists a problem that the peeling strength of a laser welded joint will become low.
 このビード終端側で割れが発生するという問題は、重ね合わせた鋼板の間に隙間がある場合に特に顕著になる。このような重ね合わせた鋼板の間に隙間がある状態でレーザ溶接する方法として、種々の技術が開示されている(例えば、特許文献1および特許文献2参照)。 The problem that cracking occurs at the end of the bead is particularly noticeable when there is a gap between the stacked steel sheets. Various techniques have been disclosed as a method of laser welding in a state where there is a gap between such stacked steel sheets (see, for example, Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2).
 特許文献1の方法は、板と板の隙間の小さいほうから大きいほうに向けて溶接を行う方法であり、特殊なクランプ治具が必要な上、あらかじめ決められた溶接経路しか溶接することができないという問題がある。また、外観に関しては検討されていない。 The method of Patent Document 1 is a method of welding from the smaller gap between the plates to the larger one. A special clamping jig is required and only a predetermined welding path can be welded. There is a problem. In addition, the appearance has not been studied.
 また、特許文献2の方法は、溶接線をラップさせて溶接始終端部を再溶融させることで、溶接外観を向上させる方法であるが、溶接に時間がかかるという問題があり用い難い。 Further, the method of Patent Document 2 is a method of improving the appearance of welding by wrapping the welding line and remelting the welding start / end portion, but there is a problem that welding takes time and is difficult to use.
 なお、このようなビード終端部に割れが生じて外観が悪くなるという問題は、自動車の構造部材に限らず、その他の用途に用いられるレーザ溶接継手においても同様に存在する。 In addition, the problem that the bead end portion is cracked and the appearance is deteriorated is not limited to the structural member of the automobile, but also exists in laser welded joints used for other purposes.

 本発明はかかる事情に鑑みてなされたものであって、ビード終端部での割れの発生が抑制され外観が優れたレーザ溶接継手の製造方法、レーザ溶接継手および自動車用骨格部品を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of such circumstances, and provides a laser welded joint manufacturing method, a laser welded joint, and an automobile skeleton component that are excellent in appearance by suppressing the occurrence of cracks at a bead end portion. Objective.
 上述したように、特に重ねた鋼板の間に隙間がある鋼板のレーザ溶接では、溶接終端部(ビード終端部)に、割れや欠陥が発生しやすい。本発明者らは上記課題を解決するために検討した。その結果、以下の知見を得た。 As described above, cracks and defects are likely to occur at the welding end portion (bead end portion) in laser welding of steel plates having a gap between the stacked steel plates. The present inventors have studied to solve the above problems. As a result, the following knowledge was obtained.
 溶接終了時は、ビード終端部での割れの発生防止のために、入熱を減らさなければならない。入熱を減らす方法としては、溶接終了時のレーザ出力を減らす方法と溶接速度を上げる方法が考えられる。しかしながら、溶接速度を上げる方法は、スパッタ発生量の増加が考えられる。そこで、溶接終了時のレーザ出力を減らす方法に着目し、ビード終端部での割れの発生防止を検討した。さらには、重ね合わせた鋼板の間に隙間がある場合は、定常時は隙間分(板隙分)のレーザ出力を増加させているので、溶接終了時には隙間分(板隙分)のレーザ出力を減少させる必要がある。 At the end of welding, heat input must be reduced to prevent cracking at the end of the bead. As a method for reducing the heat input, a method for reducing the laser output at the end of welding and a method for increasing the welding speed are conceivable. However, an increase in the amount of spatter can be considered as a method for increasing the welding speed. Therefore, paying attention to the method of reducing the laser output at the end of welding, we studied the prevention of cracks at the end of the bead. Furthermore, if there is a gap between the stacked steel plates, the laser output for the gap (plate gap) is increased during steady state, so the laser output for the gap (plate gap) is increased at the end of welding. It needs to be reduced.
 以上を考慮した結果、本発明者らは、2枚の鋼板の板厚、2枚の鋼板の間の隙間の大きさ、レーザ出力、これらの関係を制御する、すなわち、下記式(1)を満たすようにすることにより、ビード終端側での割れの発生が抑制できることを知見し、本発明を完成させた。
0.8((t+t)/(K+t+t))P<P<((t+t)/(K+t+t))P (1)
ただし、aは0.5tと0.5tのうちの小さい方以下であり、K=(t/t)a (単位:mm)である。また、上側の鋼板の板厚をt(mm)、下側の鋼板の板厚をt(mm)、上側の鋼板と下側の鋼板との隙間の大きさをa(mm)、初期溶接および本溶接でのレーザ出力をP(kW)、終期溶接でのレーザ出力をP(kW)とする。
As a result of taking the above into consideration, the present inventors control the thickness of the two steel plates, the size of the gap between the two steel plates, the laser output, and the relationship thereof, that is, the following equation (1): It was found that the occurrence of cracks on the bead end side can be suppressed by satisfying the requirements, and the present invention has been completed.
0.8 ((t 1 + t 2 ) / (K + t 1 + t 2 )) P <P f <((t 1 + t 2 ) / (K + t 1 + t 2 )) P (1)
However, a is less than the smaller of the 0.5 t 1 and 0.5t 2, K = (t 2 / t 1) a ( unit: mm) is. Further, the thickness of the upper steel plate is t 1 (mm), the thickness of the lower steel plate is t 2 (mm), the size of the gap between the upper steel plate and the lower steel plate is a (mm), initial The laser output in welding and main welding is P (kW), and the laser output in final welding is P f (kW).
 上記式(1)を満たすことで、溶接終了時は溶融部分を小さくしておき、凝固時に溶接欠陥が発生しないように溶融部を安定させる。その結果、ビード終端部での割れの発生を防止する。 By satisfying the above formula (1), the melted portion is made small at the end of welding, and the melted portion is stabilized so that no welding defect occurs during solidification. As a result, the occurrence of cracks at the end of the bead is prevented.
 さらには、溶接始端部(ビード始端部)において、ビート幅が細くなってしまう場合がある。溶接開始時は、鋼板表面を溶融させるため、入熱増としなければならない。すなわち、鋼板表面を溶かすためにエネルギーが必要なため、溶接が安定しない。その結果、ビード始端部のビート幅が細くなってしまうことがわかった。入熱を増やす方法としては、溶接開始時のレーザ出力を増やす方法と溶接速度を下げる方法が考えられる。しかしながら、レーザ出力を増やす方法は、スパッタ発生量の増加が考えられる。そこで、溶接開始時の溶接速度を下げる方法に着目し、ビード始端部のビート幅が細くなるのを防止することを検討した。さらには、重ね合わせた鋼板の間に隙間がある場合のエネルギーロスも考慮する必要がある。 Furthermore, the beat width may become narrow at the welding start end (bead start end). At the start of welding, heat input must be increased to melt the steel plate surface. That is, since energy is required to melt the steel sheet surface, welding is not stable. As a result, it was found that the beat width at the beginning of the bead became narrow. As a method of increasing the heat input, a method of increasing the laser output at the start of welding and a method of decreasing the welding speed are conceivable. However, an increase in the amount of spatter can be considered as a method for increasing the laser output. Therefore, paying attention to the method of lowering the welding speed at the start of welding, we studied to prevent the bead width at the bead start end from becoming narrow. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider energy loss when there is a gap between the stacked steel sheets.
 以上を考慮した結果、本発明者らは、2枚の鋼板の板厚、2枚の鋼板の間の隙間の大きさ、溶接速度、これらの関係を制御する、すなわち、下記式(2)を満たすようにすることにより、ビード始端部のビート幅が細くなることを抑制できることを知見した。
0.75((t+t)/(K+t+t))v<v<((t+t)/(K+t+t))v  (2)
ただし、aは0.5tと0.5tのうちの小さい方以下であり、K=(t/t)aである。また、上側の鋼板の板厚をt(mm)、下側の鋼板の板厚をt(mm)、上側の鋼板と下側の鋼板との隙間の大きさをa(mm)、本溶接および終期溶接での溶接速度をv(m/min)、初期溶接での溶接速度をv(m/min)とする。
As a result of taking the above into consideration, the present inventors control the thickness of the two steel plates, the size of the gap between the two steel plates, the welding speed, and the relationship thereof, that is, the following equation (2): It has been found that by satisfying the condition, it is possible to suppress the beat width at the bead starting end from becoming narrow.
0.75 ((t 1 + t 2 ) / (K + t 1 + t 2)) v <v i <((t 1 + t 2) / (K + t 1 + t 2)) v (2)
However, a is less than the smaller of the 0.5 t 1 and 0.5t 2, K = (t 2 / t 1) is a. Further, the thickness of the upper steel plate is t 1 (mm), the thickness of the lower steel plate is t 2 (mm), the size of the gap between the upper steel plate and the lower steel plate is a (mm), this The welding speed in welding and final welding is v (m / min), and the welding speed in initial welding is vi (m / min).
 上記式(2)を満たすことで、溶融池が溶接直後でも安定する。その結果、ビード始端部のビート幅が細くなることを抑制できる。 When the above formula (2) is satisfied, the molten pool is stabilized even immediately after welding. As a result, it is possible to suppress the beat width at the bead starting end from becoming narrow.
 本発明は上記の知見に基づき完成されたものであり、その要旨は次のとおりである。 The present invention has been completed based on the above findings, and the gist thereof is as follows.

The method of manufacturing a laser welded joint according to the present invention melts a portion irradiated with a laser beam by irradiating the surface of the upper steel plate with two steel plates stacked vertically with a gap between them. In addition, a laser weld joint in which two steel plates are joined is obtained by laser welding that solidifies and forms a bead and joins two steel plates. And the plate thickness of the upper steel plate is t 1 (mm), the plate thickness of the lower steel plate is t 2 (mm), and the size of the gap between the upper steel plate and the lower steel plate is a (mm), Initial welding is the process of forming a bead from the beginning of the bead to the vicinity of 1/5 of the total length of the bead. The initial welding is followed by the process of forming the bead to the vicinity of 4/5 of the total length of the bead. When the process of forming the bead to the end is the final welding, the laser output in the initial welding and the main welding is P (kW), and the laser output in the final welding is P f (kW), the following equation (1) It is characterized by satisfying.
0.8 ((t 1 + t 2 ) / (K + t 1 + t 2 )) P <P f <((t 1 + t 2 ) / (K + t 1 + t 2 )) P (1)
However, a is less than the smaller of the 0.5 t 1 and 0.5t 2, K = (t 2 / t 1) a ( unit: mm) is.
 このような本発明のレーザ溶接継手1の製造方法について、本発明の一例である図1~図3を用いて以下に詳細に説明する。図1(a)は、本発明のレーザ溶接継手の製造方法で製造される本発明のレーザ溶接継手の外観を示す斜視図であり、図1(b)は、図1(a)の要部拡大図である。図2は、本発明のレーザ溶接継手の製造方法で製造されるレーザ溶接継手の断面拡大図である。図3は、本発明のレーザ溶接継手の製造方法で製造されるレーザ溶接継手の上側の鋼板の表面に形成されたビードを示す上面図である。 Such a method for manufacturing the laser welded joint 1 of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3 which are examples of the present invention. Fig.1 (a) is a perspective view which shows the external appearance of the laser welded joint of this invention manufactured with the manufacturing method of the laser welded joint of this invention, FIG.1 (b) is the principal part of FIG.1 (a). It is an enlarged view. FIG. 2 is an enlarged cross-sectional view of a laser welded joint manufactured by the laser welded joint manufacturing method of the present invention. FIG. 3 is a top view showing a bead formed on the surface of the upper steel plate of the laser welded joint manufactured by the laser welded joint manufacturing method of the present invention.
 本発明のレーザ溶接継手の製造方法では、まず、2枚の鋼板として、例えば図1(a)に示すように、ハット形状の鋼板(ハット部上板)4および鋼板(ハット部下板)5を、その間に隙間を有するように上下に重ね合わせる。 In the laser welded joint manufacturing method of the present invention, first, as shown in FIG. 1A, for example, as shown in FIG. 1A, a hat-shaped steel plate (hat portion upper plate) 4 and a steel plate (hat portion lower plate) 5 are used. , And overlap each other so that there is a gap between them.
 本発明においてレーザ溶接する対象は、鋼板(鋼板4、鋼板5)である。鋼板4および鋼板5の種類は特に限定されないが、例えば引張強度が980MPa以上の高強度鋼板であることが好ましい。980MPa以上の高強度鋼板は、炭素等量が比較的高いためビード終端側に割れが発生しやすい。しかしながら、本発明のレーザ溶接継手の製造方法ではビード終端側の割れの発生が抑制でき、高強度鋼板を用いても割れの発生が抑制され優れた外観を有するレーザ溶接継手を製造することができる。このように例えば引張強度980MPa以上の高強度鋼板のレーザ溶接継手とすることにより、強度が求められる自動車用骨格部材として好適に使用することができる。 In the present invention, the object to be laser welded is a steel plate (steel plate 4, steel plate 5). Although the kind of the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 is not specifically limited, For example, it is preferable that it is a high strength steel plate with a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more. A high-strength steel sheet of 980 MPa or more is likely to crack on the bead end side because the carbon equivalent is relatively high. However, in the method for producing a laser welded joint according to the present invention, the occurrence of cracks on the bead end side can be suppressed, and even when a high-strength steel plate is used, the occurrence of cracks is suppressed and a laser welded joint having an excellent appearance can be produced. . Thus, for example, by using a laser-welded joint of a high-strength steel plate having a tensile strength of 980 MPa or more, it can be suitably used as an automobile skeleton member that requires strength.
 鋼板4および鋼板5の成分組成は特に限定されないが、例えば、質量%で、C:0.07%超え0.25%以下、P+S:0.03%未満、Mn:1.8%以上3.0%以下、Si:1.2%超え1.8%以下を含有し、下記A群および下記B群の少なくとも一方を含有し、残部Feおよび不可避的不純物からなる成分組成を有するものとすることができる。以下、各成分組成における%とは、質量%のことを指す。
A群: Ti:0.005%以上0.01%以下およびNb:0.005%以上0.050%未満の少なくとも一方
B群: Cr:1.0%以下、Mo:0.50%以下およびB:0.10%以下から選択される少なくとも一種
 (C:0.07%超え0.25%以下)
 C含有量が0.07%超えであると、析出強化の効果を得ることができなくなる場合がない。一方、C含有量が0.25%以下であると、粗大な炭化物の析出を招くことがなく、所望の高強度、加工性を確保できる。そのため、C含有量は0.07%超え0.25%以下とすることが好ましい。
Although the component composition of the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 is not specifically limited, For example, by mass%, C: more than 0.07% and 0.25% or less, P + S: less than 0.03%, Mn: 1.8% or more 3. It shall contain 0% or less, Si: more than 1.2% and 1.8% or less, at least one of the following group A and group B, and a component composition consisting of the remainder Fe and inevitable impurities Can do. Hereinafter,% in each component composition refers to mass%.
Group A: Ti: 0.005% or more and 0.01% or less and Nb: 0.005% or more and less than 0.050% Group B: Cr: 1.0% or less, Mo: 0.50% or less and B: At least one selected from 0.10% or less (C: more than 0.07% and 0.25% or less)
If the C content exceeds 0.07%, the effect of precipitation strengthening cannot be obtained. On the other hand, when the C content is 0.25% or less, it is possible to ensure desired high strength and workability without causing precipitation of coarse carbides. Therefore, the C content is preferably 0.07% to 0.25% or less.
 (P+S:0.03%未満)
 P含有量とS含有量の合計量(P+S)が0.03%未満であると、延性および靱性が低下せず、所望の高強度、加工性を確保できる。そのため、P含有量とS含有量の合計量(P+S)は0.03%未満とすることが好ましい。
(P + S: less than 0.03%)
When the total amount of P content and S content (P + S) is less than 0.03%, ductility and toughness are not lowered, and desired high strength and workability can be secured. Therefore, the total amount (P + S) of the P content and the S content is preferably less than 0.03%.
 (Mn:1.8%以上3.0%以下)
 Mn含有量が1.8%以上であると、十分な焼入れ性が確保でき、粗大な炭化物が析出しない。一方、Mn含有量が3.0%以下であると、粒界脆化感受性が増加して靱性、耐低温割れ性が劣化しない。そのため、Mn含有量は1.8%以上3.0%以下とすることが好ましい。Mn含有量は2.5%以下であることがより好ましい。
(Mn: 1.8% to 3.0%)
When the Mn content is 1.8% or more, sufficient hardenability can be secured, and coarse carbides do not precipitate. On the other hand, when the Mn content is 3.0% or less, the grain boundary embrittlement susceptibility increases and the toughness and the cold cracking resistance do not deteriorate. Therefore, the Mn content is preferably 1.8% or more and 3.0% or less. The Mn content is more preferably 2.5% or less.
 (Si:1.2%超え1.8%以下)
 Si含有量が1.2%超えであると、固溶して鋼の強度を増加させる効果が十分に得られる。一方、Si含有量が1.8%以下であると、溶接熱影響部の硬化が大きくならず、溶接熱影響部の靱性、耐低温割れ性が劣化しない。そのため、Si含有量は1.2%超え1.8%以下とすることが好ましい。Si含有量は1.5%以下であることがより好ましい。
(Si: 1.2% to 1.8% or less)
When the Si content exceeds 1.2%, the effect of increasing the strength of the steel by solid solution is sufficiently obtained. On the other hand, when the Si content is 1.8% or less, the hardening of the weld heat affected zone does not increase, and the toughness and the low temperature crack resistance of the weld heat affected zone do not deteriorate. For this reason, the Si content is preferably 1.2% to 1.8%. The Si content is more preferably 1.5% or less.
 (A群: Ti:0.005%以上0.010%以下およびNb:0.005%以上0.050%未満の少なくとも一方)
 TiやNbは炭化物または窒化物として析出し、焼鈍中のオーステナイトの粗大化を抑制する作用を有する。したがって、これらの元素の少なくとも1種を含有させることが好ましい。この効果を得るには、Tiは0.005%以上、Nbは0.005%以上含有させる。しかし、過剰に含有させても上記作用による効果が飽和して不経済となる。そればかりか、焼鈍時の再結晶温度が上昇し、焼鈍後の金属組織が不均一となり、伸びフランジ性も損なわれる。さらには、炭化物または窒化物の析出量が増し、降伏比が上昇し、形状凍結性も劣化する。したがって、Ti含有量は0.010%以下、Nb含有量は、0.050%未満とする。Ti含有量は好ましくは0.008%未満であり、Nb含有量は好ましくは0.040%未満とする。
(Group A: Ti: 0.005% or more and 0.010% or less and Nb: 0.005% or more and less than 0.050%)
Ti and Nb are precipitated as carbides or nitrides, and have an action of suppressing austenite coarsening during annealing. Therefore, it is preferable to contain at least one of these elements. In order to obtain this effect, 0.005% or more of Ti and 0.005% or more of Nb are contained. However, even if it contains excessively, the effect by the said effect | action will be saturated and it will become uneconomical. In addition, the recrystallization temperature during annealing increases, the metal structure after annealing becomes non-uniform, and stretch flangeability is also impaired. Furthermore, the precipitation amount of carbide or nitride increases, the yield ratio increases, and the shape freezing property also deteriorates. Therefore, the Ti content is 0.010% or less, and the Nb content is less than 0.050%. The Ti content is preferably less than 0.008% and the Nb content is preferably less than 0.040%.
 (B群: Cr:1.0%以下、Mo:0.50%以下およびB:0.10%以下から選択される少なくとも一種)
 Cr、MoおよびBは、鋼の焼入性を向上させる作用を有する元素である。したがってこれらの元素の1種類以上を含有させてもよい。しかしながら、これらの元素を過剰に含有させても上記の効果が飽和して不経済となる。したがって、これらの元素を含有させる場合には、Cr含有量は1.0%以下、Mo含有量は0.50%以下、B含有量は0.10%以下とする。Cr含有量は好ましくは0.50%以下であり、Mo含有量は好ましくは0.10%以下であり、B含有量は好ましくは0.030%以下である。Cr含有量は好ましくは0.01%以上であり、Mo含有量は好ましくは0.004%以上であり、B含有量は好ましくは0.0001%以上である。
(Group B: Cr: 1.0% or less, Mo: 0.50% or less and B: at least one selected from 0.10% or less)
Cr, Mo, and B are elements having an effect of improving the hardenability of steel. Therefore, you may contain 1 or more types of these elements. However, even if these elements are contained excessively, the above effects are saturated and uneconomical. Therefore, when these elements are contained, the Cr content is 1.0% or less, the Mo content is 0.50% or less, and the B content is 0.10% or less. The Cr content is preferably 0.50% or less, the Mo content is preferably 0.10% or less, and the B content is preferably 0.030% or less. The Cr content is preferably 0.01% or more, the Mo content is preferably 0.004% or more, and the B content is preferably 0.0001% or more.
 (残部Feおよび不可避的不純物)
 上記成分組成以外の残部は、Feおよび不可避的不純物である。不可避的不純物としては、Al:0.015~0.050%、N:0.002~0.005%等が挙げられる。
(Remainder Fe and inevitable impurities)
The balance other than the above component composition is Fe and inevitable impurities. Inevitable impurities include Al: 0.015 to 0.050%, N: 0.002 to 0.005%, and the like.
 本発明においてレーザ溶接する対象である2枚の鋼板の板厚は特に限定されないが、例えば1.0mm以上2.0mm以下の範囲内であることが好ましい。さらに好ましくは、1.2mm以上1.8mm以下である。板厚がこの範囲内である鋼板は、自動車用骨格部材として好適に使用することができる。具体的には上側の鋼板4の板厚tは1.0mm≦t≦2.0mmを満たし、下側の鋼板4の板厚tは1.0mm≦t≦2.0mmを満たすことが好ましい。上側の鋼板4の板厚tは1.2mm≦t≦1.8mmを満たし、下側の鋼板4の板厚tは1.2mm≦t≦1.8mmを満たすことがさらに好ましい。 In the present invention, the thickness of the two steel plates to be laser welded is not particularly limited, but is preferably in the range of, for example, 1.0 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less. More preferably, they are 1.2 mm or more and 1.8 mm or less. A steel plate having a thickness within this range can be suitably used as an automobile skeleton member. Specifically, the plate thickness t 1 of the upper steel plate 4 satisfies 1.0 mm ≦ t 1 ≦ 2.0 mm, and the plate thickness t 2 of the lower steel plate 4 satisfies 1.0 mm ≦ t 2 ≦ 2.0 mm. It is preferable. It is more preferable that the plate thickness t 1 of the upper steel plate 4 satisfies 1.2 mm ≦ t 1 ≦ 1.8 mm, and the plate thickness t 2 of the lower steel plate 4 satisfies 1.2 mm ≦ t 2 ≦ 1.8 mm. .
 なお、2枚の鋼板4および鋼板5は、同じでも異なっていてもよく、鋼板4および鋼板5が、同種および同形状の鋼板であってもよいし、異種や異形状の鋼板であってもよい。 The two steel plates 4 and 5 may be the same or different, and the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 may be the same type and the same shape, or different types and different shapes. Good.
 そして、本発明においては、図2に示すように、レーザ溶接前の鋼板4と鋼板5との間には隙間Aが存在する。 And in this invention, as shown in FIG. 2, the clearance gap A exists between the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 before laser welding.
 レーザ溶接前の鋼板4と鋼板5との隙間Aの大きさa(mm)、すなわち、鋼板4と鋼板5との隙間Aの鋼板の板厚方向の大きさは、0.5tと0.5tのうちの小さい方以下を満たす必要がある。換言すると、レーザ溶接前の鋼板4と鋼板5との隙間Aの大きさaは、上側の鋼板4の板厚tが下側の鋼板5の板厚tよりも小さい場合はa≦0.5tを満たし、下側の鋼板5の板厚tが上側の鋼板4の板厚tよりも小さい場合はa≦0.5tを満たし、t=tの場合はa≦0.5t=0.5tを満たす。隙間Aの大きさaがこの範囲外であると、割れが発生する。隙間Aの大きさaは、上記範囲内であれば特に限定されないが、例えば0.1mm以上0.9mm以下であることが好ましい。例えば自動車用骨格部品の素材として好適に用いられる板厚1.0mm以上2.0mm以下の鋼板を用いて本発明のレーザ溶接継手の製造方法によりレーザ溶接継手を製造すると、隙間Aの大きさaが0.9mmより大きいと、溶接時に融落ちが発生してしまう場合があるからである。なお、レーザ溶接前の鋼板4と鋼板5との隙間Aの大きさaは、レーザ溶接方向(上側の鋼板4の表面に照射するレーザビームを上側の鋼板4表面で移動させる方向)に亘って均一であり、隙間Aを空けて重ね合わせた鋼板4および鋼板5を拘束治具等で固定し隙間Aを保持した状態でレーザ溶接する。 The size a (mm) of the gap A between the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 before laser welding, that is, the size in the plate thickness direction of the steel plate of the gap A between the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 is 0.5 t 1 . It must satisfy the following smaller of 5t 2. In other words, the size a of the gap A between the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 before laser welding is such that a ≦ 0 when the plate thickness t 1 of the upper steel plate 4 is smaller than the plate thickness t 2 of the lower steel plate 5. When 0.5 t 1 is satisfied and the thickness t 2 of the lower steel plate 5 is smaller than the thickness t 1 of the upper steel plate 4, a ≦ 0.5 t 2 is satisfied, and when t 1 = t 2 , a ≦ 0.5t 1 = 0.5t 2 is satisfied. If the size a of the gap A is out of this range, cracking occurs. Although the magnitude | size a of the clearance gap A will not be specifically limited if it is in the said range, For example, it is preferable that they are 0.1 mm or more and 0.9 mm or less. For example, when a laser welded joint is manufactured by the method for manufacturing a laser welded joint using a steel plate having a thickness of 1.0 mm or more and 2.0 mm or less that is preferably used as a material for a framework part for an automobile, the size a of the gap A If the thickness is larger than 0.9 mm, meltdown may occur during welding. In addition, the magnitude | size a of the clearance gap A between the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 before laser welding is over the laser welding direction (the direction in which the laser beam irradiated to the surface of the upper steel plate 4 is moved on the surface of the upper steel plate 4). Laser welding is performed in a state in which the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 which are uniform and overlapped with a gap A therebetween are fixed with a restraining jig or the like and the gap A is held.
 このように上下に重ね合わせた状態でレーザ溶接するときに、2枚の鋼板4、5の間に隙間Aがあると、得られるレーザ溶接継手のビード7の終端側に割れが生じやすい。特に、隙間Aの大きさaが大きい場合、ビード終端側の割れが発生しやすい。しかしながら、本発明においては、式(1)を満たすレーザ溶接でレーザ溶接継手を製造するため、後述する実施例に示すように、割れの発生が抑制されたレーザ溶接継手を得ることができる。なお、レーザ溶接することにより得られるレーザ溶接継手の鋼板4と鋼板5との隙間の大きさ(鋼板の板厚方向の大きさ)は、レーザ溶接前の鋼板4と鋼板5との隙間Aの大きさaよりも狭くなり、本発明のレーザ溶接継手の製造方法によって得られる本発明のレーザ溶接継手の鋼板4と鋼板5との隙間は、例えば、2枚の鋼板のうち薄い方の板厚の10%~50%、具体的には、例えば0.1mm以上0.9mm以下である。 In this way, when laser welding is performed in a state where they are stacked one above the other, if there is a gap A between the two steel plates 4 and 5, cracks are likely to occur on the end side of the bead 7 of the obtained laser welded joint. In particular, when the size a of the gap A is large, cracks on the bead end side are likely to occur. However, in the present invention, since a laser welded joint is manufactured by laser welding satisfying the expression (1), a laser welded joint in which the occurrence of cracks is suppressed can be obtained as shown in Examples described later. The size of the gap between the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 of the laser welded joint obtained by laser welding (the size in the plate thickness direction of the steel plate) is the gap A between the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 before laser welding. The gap between the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 of the laser welded joint of the present invention obtained by the laser welded joint manufacturing method of the present invention is narrower than the size a, for example, the thinner one of the two steel plates 10% to 50%, specifically 0.1 mm or more and 0.9 mm or less, for example.
 このように、2枚の鋼板4および鋼板5をその間に隙間Aを有するように重ね合わせた状態で、レーザ溶接で接合する。具体的には、重ね合わせた鋼板のうち上側の鋼板4の表面にレーザビーム3を照射すると共に、レーザビーム3を重ね合わせた状態のままの鋼板4および鋼板5に対して相対的に移動させる。これにより、鋼板4および鋼板5のうちレーザビーム3で照射された部位が溶融して溶融部が形成され、その後溶融部が凝固してビード(溶接線)7が形成される。 Thus, in a state where the two steel plates 4 and 5 are overlapped with a gap A therebetween, they are joined by laser welding. Specifically, the surface of the upper steel plate 4 among the superposed steel plates is irradiated with the laser beam 3, and the laser beam 3 is moved relative to the steel plates 4 and 5 in the superposed state. . As a result, the portion irradiated with the laser beam 3 of the steel plate 4 and the steel plate 5 is melted to form a melted portion, and then the melted portion is solidified to form a bead (weld line) 7.
 本発明においては、このレーザ溶接条件が上記式(1)を満たす。具体的には、図3に示すように、ビード始端Xからビード全長の1/5近傍までビードを形成する工程を初期溶接S、初期溶接Sに続いてビード全長の4/5近傍までビードを形成する工程を本溶接S、本溶接Sに続いてビード終端Yまでビードを形成する工程を終期溶接Sとし、初期溶接Sおよび本溶接Sでのレーザ出力をP(kW)としたときに、終期溶接Sでのレーザ出力P(kW)は上記式(1)満たす。ビード全長の1/5近傍とは、ビード全長の1/5±ビード全長の3/40の範囲内、すなわち、ビード全長の5/40からビード全長の11/40までの範囲内である。また、ビード全長の4/5近傍とは、ビード全長の4/5±ビード全長の3/40の範囲内、すなわち、ビード全長29/40からビード全長の35/40までの範囲内である。図3においては、ビード全長の1/5近傍をビード全長の1/5とし、また、ビード全長の4/5近傍をビード全長の4/5とした例を示している。 In the present invention, this laser welding condition satisfies the above formula (1). Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3, the process of forming the bead from the bead starting end X to the vicinity of 1/5 of the total length of the bead is performed to the initial welding S i and the initial welding S i to the vicinity of 4/5 of the total length of the bead. this welding step of forming a bead S, forming a bead to bead end Y Following the welding S and final welding S f, the laser output at the initial weld S i and the welding S and P (kW) In this case, the laser output P f (kW) in the final welding S f satisfies the above formula (1). The vicinity of 1/5 of the total length of the bead is within a range of 1/5 of the total length of the bead ± 3/40 of the total length of the bead, that is, within a range of 5/40 of the total length of the bead to 11/40 of the total length of the bead. Further, the vicinity of 4/5 of the total length of the bead is within the range of 4/5 of the total length of the bead ± 3/40 of the total length of the bead, that is, within the range from 29/40 of the total length of the bead to 35/40 of the total length of the bead. FIG. 3 shows an example in which the vicinity of 1/5 of the total length of the bead is set to 1/5 of the total length of the bead, and the vicinity of 4/5 of the total length of the bead is set to 4/5 of the total length of the bead.
 ビード全長は、レーザビーム3が上側の鋼板4の表面を移動する方向における、ビード始端から終端までの長さである。例えば図3に示すような直線状のビード7では、ビード全長は、ビード始端Xとビード終端Yとの直線距離であり、ビード7の長手方向の長さである。また、図4に示すようにC形状のビード7aの場合や、図5に示すようにS形状のビード7bの場合は、ビード全長は、上側の鋼板4の表面における、レーザビーム3の軌跡上のビード始端からビード終端までの長さである。 The total bead length is the length from the bead start to the end in the direction in which the laser beam 3 moves on the surface of the upper steel plate 4. For example, in the linear bead 7 as shown in FIG. 3, the total bead length is a linear distance between the bead start end X and the bead end Y, and is the length of the bead 7 in the longitudinal direction. Further, in the case of the C-shaped bead 7a as shown in FIG. 4 or the S-shaped bead 7b as shown in FIG. 5, the total bead length is on the locus of the laser beam 3 on the surface of the upper steel plate 4. This is the length from the beginning of the bead to the end of the bead.
 このように、式(1)を満たす、すなわち、溶接終了付近の特定範囲の溶接(終期溶接S)におけるレーザ出力Pを、それより前の溶接(初期溶接Sおよび本溶接S)におけるレーザ出力Pに対して特定の範囲内の値にすることにより、ビード終端側での割れの発生を抑制することができる。ここで、終期溶接Sで形成される、ビード始端Xからビード全長の4/5の位置近傍~ビードの終端Yまで、すなわち、ビード終端Yからビード全長の1/5の位置であるビード終端1/5部近傍までのビード7には、隙間Aがあることにより発生する割れが集中しやすいが、この割れが生じやすい箇所を上記式(1)を満たす条件で溶接することにより、割れの発生を抑制することができる。なお、上記式(1)を満たす溶接工程が、ビード終端Yからビード全長の1/5近傍よりも短い場合は、本発明に比べて割れの発生を抑制する効果は小さくなり、また、ビード幅が広がったり、割れが生じるという不具合が生じる。一方、ビード終端Yからビード全長の1/5近傍よりも長い場合は、ビード幅が狭くなり、溶接継手強度が低くなるという不具合が生じる。 As described above, the laser output P f in the welding (final welding S f ) in a specific range near the end of the welding that satisfies the expression (1) is the same as that in the previous welding (the initial welding S i and the main welding S). By setting the value within a specific range with respect to the laser output P, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of cracks on the bead end side. Here, formed at the end welding S f, from the bead start X to the end Y position near-bead 4/5 of bead full-length, i.e., the bead end a position of 1/5 of the bead total length from the bead end Y In the bead 7 up to the vicinity of 1/5 part, cracks generated due to the presence of the gap A tend to concentrate. However, by welding a place where this crack is likely to occur under the condition satisfying the above formula (1), Occurrence can be suppressed. In addition, when the welding process which satisfy | fills said Formula (1) is shorter than 1/5 vicinity of bead full length from bead end Y, the effect which suppresses generation | occurrence | production of a crack becomes small compared with this invention, and bead width | variety This causes the problem of spreading or cracking. On the other hand, when it is longer than the vicinity of 1/5 of the total length of the bead from the bead end Y, there arises a problem that the bead width becomes narrow and the weld joint strength becomes low.
 また、式(1)を満たすと割れの発生が抑制されるため、剥離強度が高く安全性に優れたレーザ溶接継手となる。 Also, if the expression (1) is satisfied, the generation of cracks is suppressed, so that a laser welded joint having high peel strength and excellent safety is obtained.
 また、上記条件で溶接を行うことにより、ビード幅を均一にすることができる。例えば、ビード始端Xからビート全長の1/5の位置であるビード始端1/5部近傍と、ビード終端Yからビード全長の1/5の位置であるビード終端1/5部近傍との間をビード本体B、ビード本体Bのビード幅をWとし、ビード終端Yからビード全長の1/10の位置をビード終端1/10部B、ビード終端1/10部Bでのビード幅をWとしたときに、下記式(3)を満たすことができる。なお、ビード本体Bは本溶接Sで形成されるビードであり、安定した溶接が行われて形成されるため、割れは生じず且つビード幅Wは均一である。 Further, by performing welding under the above conditions, the bead width can be made uniform. For example, between the bead start end X and the vicinity of 1/5 part of the bead start position, which is 1/5 of the total beat length, and the bead end Y, between the vicinity of the bead end 1/5 part, which is 1/5 of the bead total length. The bead width of the bead main body B and the bead main body B is W, the bead end 1/10 part B f is located at 1/10 of the total length of the bead from the bead end Y, and the bead width at the bead end 1/10 part B f is W When f , the following formula (3) can be satisfied. The bead body B is a bead formed by the main welding S and is formed by performing stable welding, so that no cracks occur and the bead width W is uniform.
 また、上記と同様に、ビード始端Xからビート全長の1/5の位置であるビード始端1/5部近傍とは、ビード始端Xからビート全長の1/5の位置であるビード始端1/5部±ビード全長の3/40の範囲内、すなわち、ビード始端Xからビート全長の5/40の位置~ビード始端Xからビード全長の11/40の位置の範囲内である。また、ビード終端Yからビード全長の1/5の位置であるビード終端1/5部近傍とは、ビード終端Yからビード全長の1/5の位置であるビード終端1/5部±ビード全長の3/40の範囲内、すなわち、ビード終端Yからビート全長の5/40の位置~ビード終端Yからビード全長の11/40の位置の範囲内である。
0.80≦W/W≦1.20  (3)
 一方、式(1)を満たさない場合は、ビード終端側で、割れが生じたり、ビード幅が太くなったり細くなったりする。
Similarly to the above, the vicinity of the bead start end 1/5 portion, which is 1/5 of the beat total length from the bead start end X, is the bead start end 1/5, which is 1/5 of the beat total length from the bead start end X. Part ± 3/40 of the total bead length, that is, within the range of 5/40 of the beat total length from the bead starting end X to 11/40 of the total bead length from the bead starting end X. Further, the vicinity of the bead end 1/5 portion, which is 1/5 of the total bead length from the bead end Y, means that the bead end 1/5 portion which is 1/5 of the total bead length from the bead end Y ± the total bead length. It is within the range of 3/40, that is, within the range from 5/40 of the beat total length to the bead end Y to 11/40 of the bead full length from the bead end Y.
0.80 ≦ W f /W≦1.20 (3)
On the other hand, when the formula (1) is not satisfied, cracks occur on the bead end side, and the bead width becomes thicker or thinner.
 照射するレーザビーム3は特に限定されず、例えばファイバーレーザ、ディスクレーザ等を用いることができる。レーザビームは、例えば、ビーム径:0.2~1.0mm、焦点位置:鋼板4の表面~鋼板4の表面から30mm上方とすることができる。入熱効率を高くするために、焦点位置を鋼板4の表面とすることが好ましい。 The laser beam 3 to be irradiated is not particularly limited, and for example, a fiber laser, a disk laser, or the like can be used. The laser beam can be, for example, a beam diameter: 0.2 to 1.0 mm, and a focal position: 30 mm above the surface of the steel plate 4 to the surface of the steel plate 4. In order to increase the heat input efficiency, the focal position is preferably the surface of the steel plate 4.
 初期溶接Sおよび本溶接Sでのレーザ出力Pは、例えば2.0kW以上5.0kW以下であり、3.0kW以上4.0kW以下が好ましい。レーザ出力Pが2.0kW以上であると、レーザ出力が低すぎることがないため、貫通溶接が可能となる。一方、レーザ出力Pが5.0kW以下であると、レーザ出力が高すぎることがないため、溶融金属がスパッタとして飛散して溶接部にアンダーフィルが発生することがない。なお、初期溶接Sおよび本溶接Sでのレーザ出力Pが2.0kW以上5.0kW以下で且つPが式(1)を満たすと、他のレーザ溶接条件にも依るが、形成されるビート7が鋼板4を貫通しなかったり、ビード7が溶け落ちるという問題も全く生じない。 Initial welding S i and the laser output P in this welding S is, for example, 2.0kW or 5.0kW or less, preferably more than 3.0 kW 4.0 kW. When the laser output P is 2.0 kW or more, the laser output is not too low, and through welding is possible. On the other hand, when the laser output P is 5.0 kW or less, the laser output does not become too high, so that the molten metal is scattered as spatter and the underfill does not occur in the weld. In addition, when the laser output P in the initial welding S i and the main welding S is 2.0 kW or more and 5.0 kW or less and P f satisfies the formula (1), it is formed depending on other laser welding conditions. There is no problem that the beat 7 does not penetrate the steel plate 4 or the beads 7 melt.
 本溶接Sおよび終期溶接Sでの溶接速度vは、例えば、1.0m/min以上4.0m/min以下、好ましくは2.0m/min以上3.0m/min以下である。溶接速度vが1.0m/min以上とすると、溶接速度が遅すぎることがないため、鋼板が融け落ちて欠陥となってしまう場合がない。一方、vを4.0m/min以下とすると溶接速度が速すぎることがないため、溶融池が安定しなくなってしまう場合がない。 Welding speed v at present welded S and final welding S f is, for example, 1.0 m / min or more 4.0 m / min or less, preferably 2.0 m / min or more 3.0 m / min or less. If the welding speed v is 1.0 m / min or more, the welding speed will not be too slow, so the steel sheet will not melt and become a defect. On the other hand, if v is 4.0 m / min or less, the welding speed will not be too fast, and the molten pool will not become stable.
 初期溶接Sでの溶接速度v(m/min)は特に限定されず、例えば本溶接Sおよび終期溶接Sでの溶接速度vと同じでもよいが、初期溶接Sでの溶接速度vは下記式(2)を満たすことが好ましい。
0.75((t+t)/(K+t+t))v<v<((t+t)/(K+t+t))v  (2)
ただし、aは0.5tと0.5tのうちの小さい方以下であり、K=(t/t)aである。
The welding speed v i (m / min) in the initial welding S i is not particularly limited, and may be the same as the welding speed v in the main welding S and the final welding S f , for example, but the welding speed v in the initial welding S 1. i preferably satisfies the following formula (2).
0.75 ((t 1 + t 2 ) / (K + t 1 + t 2)) v <v i <((t 1 + t 2) / (K + t 1 + t 2)) v (2)
However, a is less than the smaller of the 0.5 t 1 and 0.5t 2, K = (t 2 / t 1) is a.
 ビード始端側(初期溶接Sで形成されるビード)のビード幅は、本溶接Sで形成されるビード本体Bのビード幅よりも細くなる傾向があり、従来はビード7全体に亘って均一なビード幅を有するものは得難かった。しかしながら、本発明においては、上記式(2)を満たす、すなわち、溶接開始付近の特定範囲の溶接(初期溶接S)における溶接速度vを、それより後の溶接(本溶接Sおよび終期溶接S)の溶接速度vに対して特定の範囲内の値にすることにより、ビード始端側でビード幅が細くなる現象を抑制することができる。ビード始端Xからビード全長の1/5近傍までのビード7には、隙間Aがあることによりビード本体Bよりもビード幅が細くなりやすいが、このビード幅が細くなりやすい箇所を上記式(2)を満たす条件で溶接することにより、ビード本体Bと同程度のビード幅にすることができ、ビード幅をビード全体に亘って均一にすることができる。なお、上記式(2)を満たす溶接工程が、ビード始端Xからビード全長の1/5の位置近傍までよりも短い場合や長い場合は、上記式(2)を満たす場合と比べてビード幅を均一にする効果は小さくなる。 Bead width of the bead start end (bead formed in the initial welding S 1) tend to be thinner than the bead width of the bead body B formed in this welding S, conventionally uniform throughout the bead 7 Those having a bead width were difficult to obtain. However, in the present invention, the above-described equation (2) is satisfied, that is, the welding speed v i in a specific range of welding (initial welding S i ) near the start of welding is set to the subsequent welding (main welding S and final welding). By making the value within a specific range with respect to the welding speed v of S f ), the phenomenon that the bead width becomes narrow at the bead start end side can be suppressed. The bead 7 from the bead starting end X to the vicinity of 1/5 of the total length of the bead tends to be narrower than the bead body B due to the gap A, but the portion where the bead width tends to be narrowed is expressed by the above formula (2 ) Can be made to have the same bead width as the bead body B, and the bead width can be made uniform over the entire bead. In addition, when the welding process which satisfy | fills said Formula (2) is shorter or longer than from the bead starting end X to the position vicinity of 1/5 of the bead full length, bead width is set compared with the case where said Formula (2) is satisfy | filled. The effect of making uniform becomes small.
 上記式(2)を満たすことにより、例えば、ビード始端Xからビート全長の1/10の位置をビード始端1/10部Bとし、ビード始端1/10部Bでのビード幅をWとしたときに、下記式(4)を満たすことができる。例えば式(3)および式(4)を同時に満たすことにより、ビード全体に亘って幅が均一なビードになり、外観に優れたレーザ溶接継手を製造することができる。
0.80≦W/W≦1.20  (4)
 一方、式(2)を満たさない場合は、ビード始端側でビードが細くなったり太くなったりする。
By satisfying the above expression (2), for example, 1/10 position of the beat full length and bead starting 1/10 parts B i from the bead starting X, the bead width at the bead beginning 1/10 parts B i W i The following formula (4) can be satisfied. For example, by satisfy | filling Formula (3) and Formula (4) simultaneously, it becomes a bead with a uniform width | variety over the whole bead, and the laser welded joint excellent in the external appearance can be manufactured.
0.80 ≦ W i /W≦1.20 (4)
On the other hand, when the formula (2) is not satisfied, the bead becomes thinner or thicker at the bead start end side.
 なお、レーザ溶接継手に複数のビードが形成される場合は、全てのビードにおいて、ビードを形成する溶接条件が式(1)や式(2)を満たすことが好ましい。また、得られたレーザ溶接継手に形成された全てのビードが式(3)や式(4)を満たすことが好ましい。 In addition, when a some bead is formed in a laser welding joint, it is preferable that the welding conditions which form a bead satisfy | fill Formula (1) and Formula (2) in all the beads. Moreover, it is preferable that all the beads formed in the obtained laser welded joint satisfy Expression (3) and Expression (4).
