- Non-Patent Document 1 "By making the weld metal (welding bead) meander, the toe portion of the toe portion of the weld metal is raised from the weld metal side to the toe portion of the toe portion of the meandering weld metal. A crack is generated from the melting boundary of the region protruding toward the material side, the crack grows along the toe of the meandering weld metal, and the toe is the weld metal at the valley (the toe of the meandering weld metal). By coalescing cracks near (the region closer to the side), the time required for crack coalescing increases and the fatigue life is improved. "

- the technique of Non-Patent Document 1 is to combine cracks generated at the melting boundary of the peak portion of the weld toe in the vicinity of the valley portion when a steel base material with a thick plate thickness is welded. It is a technology that increases the time required and improves the fatigue life. That is, the technique of Non-Patent Document 1 is a technique of improving the fatigue life when a steel base material having a large plate thickness, which has a large fatigue crack propagation life in the fatigue life, is welded.
- structures in which thin steel plates are welded are smaller in size and thinner, such as automobile members. , The generated fatigue cracks are likely to become through cracks.
- the fatigue crack propagation life occupies the fatigue life is small, and the fatigue crack generation life is dominant. Therefore, when a steel base material having a thin plate thickness is welded, the fatigue life is not improved by the same mechanism as when a steel base material having a thick plate thickness is welded.

- the term "process” is included in this term as long as the intended purpose of the process is achieved, not only in an independent process but also in cases where it cannot be clearly distinguished from other processes.
- the "combination of preferred embodiments" is a more preferred embodiment.
- the “mountain portion” indicates a region where the toe end portion (specifically, the molten boundary) protrudes from the weld metal side to the base metal side when the weld metal is viewed in a plan view.
- the “top of the mountain” indicates the pole that protrudes to the most base material side of the region. That is, the “vertex of the mountain portion” indicates the point where the shortest length from the toe portion (specifically, the melting boundary) protruding from the weld metal side to the base metal side to the weld line is the longest.

- the welded joint of the present disclosure is excellent in fatigue strength even when a pair of steel base materials having a thin plate thickness and at least one having a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more are welded.
- the welded joint of the present disclosure has been found based on the following findings.
- the weld metal may be undermatched (a state in which the weld metal strength is lower than the steel base material strength).
- a weld metal (weld bead) welded without welding such as weaving welding or wave pulse welding causes fatigue cracks from any position on the toe of the weld metal, that is, structural stress concentration. Fatigue cracks occur from the position where the fatigue strength is the lowest, which is a combination of local stress concentration or strength. Therefore, the fatigue strength of the weld metal tends to decrease.
- the number and distance between the peaks and valleys at the toes of the meandering weld metal when welding a thin steel base material, which has a large ratio of fatigue cracking life to the fatigue life, should be adjusted appropriately. Then, the starting point of the fatigue crack can be limited to the mountain portion, and the stress concentration at the starting point can be further reduced. As a result, the fatigue crack generation life of the weld metal is extended, and the fatigue strength is improved.
- the welded joint of the present disclosure is excellent in fatigue strength even when a pair of steel base materials having a thin plate thickness and at least one having a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more are welded.
- the weld metal when a steel base material having a thin plate thickness is welded by, for example, weaving welding or wave pulse welding, the weld metal may be closed and the throat thickness may be reduced.
- the "throat thickness" of the weld metal decreases, the stress generated in the weld metal tends to increase when stress is applied from the outside.
- the weld metal In a steel base material with a tensile strength of less than 780 MPa, the weld metal often has a higher strength (overmatch) than the steel base material, so it is unlikely to affect the fatigue strength.
- the weld metal Is often lower in strength (undermatch) than the steel base material, which may lead to a decrease in fatigue strength.

- the weld metal of the present disclosure has an average distance (hereinafter, also referred to as "distance between the peak and valley”) in the direction orthogonal to the welding line direction between the apex of the adjacent peak and the bottom of the valley. It is 0 mm or less.
- the average distance between the peaks and valleys in the direction orthogonal to the welding line direction exceeds 3.0 mm, the shape of the weld metal 3 is likely to be locally disturbed, resulting in a decrease in fatigue strength. Local disturbance in the shape of the weld metal 3 is particularly likely to occur when welding is performed by weaving welding. Therefore, the average distance between the peaks and valleys in the direction orthogonal to the welding line is 3.0 mm or less. From the viewpoint of improving fatigue strength, the average distance between the peaks and valleys is preferably 2.8 mm or less, more preferably 2.5 mm or less, and even more preferably 2.0 mm or less.
- the total number of peaks and valleys where the distance between the apex of the adjacent peak and the bottom of the valley in the direction orthogonal to the welding line direction is 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm (hereinafter, "the number of swells"”. (Also referred to as), but 2 to 30 pieces / 15 mm (see FIG. 4).

- the apex (or the bottom point of the valley) of the arbitrary mountain portion is not counted as the number of undulations.
- the number of swells and the distance between the peaks and valleys are measured by skipping adjacent peaks and valleys with a distance of less than 0.1 mm (see FIG. 5).
- the meaning of the reference numerals in FIG. 5 is the same as that in FIG.
- the apex of any mountain is the same as the apex of both valleys (or the apex of the mountain) of the two valleys (or two peaks) existing on both sides. If the distance in the direction orthogonal to the welding line direction is less than 0.1 mm or more than 3.0 mm, the apex (or the bottom point of the valley) of any mountain portion is not counted as the number of undulations.
- the apex (or the apex of the valley) of any mountain is the apex (or the apex of the mountain) of at least one of the two valleys (or two peaks) existing on both sides.
- the apex (or the bottom point of the valley) of the arbitrary peak portion is counted as the number of the undulations.

If the number of undulations is less than 2/15 mm, the function of localizing the origin of fatigue cracks in the mountainous area is lost. If the number of undulations exceeds 30/15 mm, the number of peaks that are the starting points of fatigue cracks is too large, and the advantage of localizing the starting points of fatigue cracks in the peaks is lost. Therefore, the number of swells is within the above range. From the viewpoint of improving fatigue strength, the number of waviness is preferably 2 to 28/15 mm, more preferably 3 to 15/15 mm.
- the number of swells is more preferably 4 to 9/15 mm, and the fatigue strength is further improved by setting the number of swells within the range.
- the reason is presumed to be as follows.
- the region where the occurrence of fatigue cracks is suppressed due to the structure of the valley portion of the weld metal can easily extend to a range close to the apex of the mountain portion. Therefore, the starting point of the fatigue crack approaches the apex of the mountain part where the toe shape is gentle. As a result, it is presumed that the fatigue crack generation life of the weld metal is further extended and the fatigue strength is further improved.
- a method of calculating "the number of swells and the distance between the peak and the valley" when the welding line of the weld metal 3 is curved will be described with reference to FIG. 7.

- the plate thickness of the pair of steel base materials is 3 mm away from the apex of the toe of the welded joint in the direction orthogonal to the welding line direction toward the base material side when the weld metal is viewed in a plan view. It is a value measured at the position.
- the plate thickness is measured using a contact type displacement meter that sandwiches the plate thickness in the thickness direction.
- the ratio of the Vickers hardness of the weld metal to the Vickers hardness of the steel base material is preferably 0.75 or more and 0.95 or less.
- the fact that the Vickers hardness ratio is within the above range indicates that the hardness of the weld metal is lower than that of the steel base material. That is, when welding is performed in the production of a welded joint in which the Vickers hardness ratio is within the above range, the weld metal is formed by a welding wire having a hardness lower than that of the steel base material. Since the cost of a welded wire having a low hardness is low, it becomes easy to obtain a welded joint while suppressing the manufacturing cost. Therefore, by setting the ratio of the Vickers hardness within the above range, the number of undulations of the weld metal, and the distance between the peak and the valley within the above range, the fatigue strength can be reduced while suppressing the manufacturing cost.
- the ratio of the Vickers hardness of the weld metal to the Vickers hardness of one of the pair of steel base materials is within the above range. It is preferable that the ratio of the Vickers hardness of the weld metal to the Vickers hardness of both steel base materials in the pair of steel base materials is within the above range.
- the measurement of the ratio of the Vickers hardness of the weld metal to the Vickers hardness of the steel base material is calculated by the following procedure.
- the Vickers hardness of the weld metal is measured on the surface of the welded joint formed by the X-axis and the Y-axis as shown in FIG. At a position 0.2 mm or more away from the weld metal surface (solid line portion of the weld metal 3 shown in FIG. 1) and from the melting boundary (dotted portion of the weld metal 3 shown in FIG. 1).
- the Vickers hardness of 5 points or more is measured at a position separated by 2 mm or more, and the arithmetic average value of the obtained measured values is defined as the Vickers hardness of the weld metal.
- the steel base material is placed in the thickness direction of the steel base material at a position 5 mm or more in the direction orthogonal to the welding line direction toward the base material side from the apex of an arbitrary mountain portion of the toe of the welded joint.
- a cross-section sample is collected by cutting.
- the Vickers hardness of the steel base material is measured at the cut surface of the cross-sectional sample.
- the Vickers hardness is measured at 5 points or more within a range of 0.1 mm or more from the surface of the steel plate of the steel base material and 40% or less of the plate thickness.
- the arithmetic mean value of the obtained measured values is taken as the Vickers hardness of the steel base material.
- the Vickers hardness of the steel base material is increased. , Calculate the Vickers hardness ratio of the weld metal.
- An example of the method for manufacturing a welded joint of the present disclosure is a method for manufacturing a welded joint by weaving arc welding that satisfies the following conditions.
- Welding speed 40 to 110 cm / min
- Weaving frequency 0.2 to 20 Hz
- Weaving amplitude 0.6 to 20 mm
- Shield gas composition (volume%): CO 2 concentration 20% or less or O 2 concentration 8% or less
- Ar Welding current: 150-250A
- the welding wire is not particularly limited as long as it is a wire that satisfies the shape of the toe of the weld metal 3.
- C 0.002 to 0.400% by mass% Si: 0.002 to 2.000% Mn: 0.1-3.0%
- P 0.1% or less
- S 0.05% or less
- Al 0.1 to 1.0%
- Ti 0-0.5%
- N 0 to 0.01%
- Cr 0-2.0%
- Mo 0-1.0%
- Cu 0-1.0%
- Residue Chemical composition consisting of Fe and impurities.
- the welding speed is preferably 40 to 110 cm / min.
- the weaving frequency By setting the weaving frequency to 0.2 to 20 Hz, the "number of swells" tends to be in the range of 2 to 30 pieces / 15 mm. In order to keep the "number of swells" within the range of 2 to 30 pieces / 15 mm, it is preferable to increase the weaving frequency when increasing the welding speed. On the other hand, when the welding speed is slowed down, it is preferable to lower the weaving frequency. Therefore, the weaving frequency is preferably 0.2 to 20 Hz.
- the weaving amplitude is preferably 0.6 to 20 mm.
- the "weaving amplitude” will be described with reference to FIG. It is a value twice the amplitude Wa of the movement M of the welding torch when the welding torch is weaved. That is, the weaving amplitude is indicated by Wb in FIG. In FIG. 8, D indicates the welding direction.
- the composition (volume%) of the shield gas is preferably a CO 2 concentration of 20% or less or an O 2 concentration of 8% or less, and the balance: Ar.
- the welding current By setting the welding current to 150 A or more, the disorder of welding is suppressed and the shape of the weld metal 3 becomes stable (weld bead shape).
- the welding current By setting the welding current to 250 A or less, it becomes easy to suppress the occurrence of problems such as melting off. Therefore, it is preferably 150 to 250 A.
- the automotive parts of the present disclosure include the welded joints of the present disclosure.
- the automobile parts of the present disclosure include the welded joints shown in FIGS. 1 and 2.
- the automobile parts of the present disclosure are exemplified by skeleton parts, panel parts, suspension parts of a vehicle body, and specifically, suspension arms, suspension frames, chassis frames and the like that require high strength are preferable. Can be mentioned.
- Example 2 As a pair of steel base materials, steel plates having the chemical composition, plate thickness and tensile strength shown in Table 1 were used, and lap fillet welding was performed under the welding conditions shown in Tables 3 and 4. However, the composition of the shield gas was Ar + 20% CO 2 . As the welding wire, a wire equivalent to YGW16 of JIS Z 3312 (2009) (see Table 2) was used.
- the toes of the weld metal of the welded test piece are 1) the number of waviness (the total number of peaks and valleys), and 2) peaks.
- the distance between the part and the valley was investigated by the method described above. Except for 5 mm each at the beginning and end, 15 mm near the center of the total length of the weld metal (welded bead) was examined.
- the Vickers hardness of the steel base material and the Vickers hardness of the weld metal in the welded test piece were measured according to the method described above, and the ratio of the Vickers hardness of the weld metal to the Vickers hardness of the steel base material was calculated.
- the fatigue limit was set to the maximum stress amplitude that was unbroken 10 million times.
- the bending stress was based on the maximum bending stress on the surface without considering the stress concentration in the minimum cross section (width 20 mm, plate thickness 2.9 mm) of the test piece.
- the results obtained are shown in Tables 3 and 4.
- the "fatigue limit improvement rate" in Tables 3 and 4 was calculated as follows.
- the fatigue limit improvement rate was defined as the value obtained by dividing the fatigue limit of the test piece welded under the condition with weaving by the fatigue limit of the test piece welded under the same welding condition except that without weaving.
- Test Examples 2 to 3, 5, 7, 10 to 12, 16 can obtain a fatigue strength of 200 MPa or more, which is a fatigue limit, as compared with Test Examples 1, 4, 6, 8, 9, 13 to 15. I understand. In particular, it can be seen that excellent fatigue strength can be obtained in Test Examples 2 to 3, 7, 10 to 12 to which a steel base material containing an Al amount in an appropriate range is applied.
