Definitions
- the present disclosure relates to a welding method and a welded structure of metal members.
- a line-shaped laser beam is used for laser annealing, especially for p-Si conversion of a-Si thin films of liquid crystal displays.
- This line-shaped laser beam is shaped by dividing an incident laser beam into a predetermined number, rearranging them into an array different from that of the incident beam, and making the intensity uniform (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- line-shaped laser beams are generally not used for welding plate metals.
- the first reason is that the amount of heat input is different.
- the melting point of Si is as high as 1430°C, but since the depth of heating is as small as several ⁇ m from the surface, even a ⁇ s-order pulse laser can heat it.
- the irradiation time is as short as ⁇ to several tens of ⁇ s.
- welding of a metal with a thickness of several 100 ⁇ m or more requires a heating time of several 10 ms or more, and cannot be welded with a pulse laser of ⁇ s order or less.
- the second reason is that if the width of the short side of the metal is too short, the width of the joint will be too small and the strength of the joint will not be obtained. Therefore, a bead width of several 100 ⁇ m or more is required. As a result, heat escapes at both ends of the line-shaped laser beam, and the welding quality differs between the central portion and both ends.

Abstract
Description
(1)積層工程
図2は、金属部材100の構造を示す断面図である。金属部材100は、第1部材110と第2部材120を含む。第1部材110と第2部材120は同一の金属であってもよく、異なった金属であってもよい。第1部材110は、反対方向を向いた第1面112と第2面114とを有する。例えば、第1面112は上側を向き、第2面114は下側を向く。第2部材120は、反対方向を向いた第3面122と第4面124とを有する。例えば、第3面122は上側を向き、第4面124は下側を向く。第1部材110の第2面114に第2部材120の第3面122を合わせるように、第1部材110と第2部材120とが重ねられる。
図3(a)-(c)は、溶接装置300の構成を示す。図3(a)に示される溶接装置300は、レーザ発振器200、光ファイバ210、コリメータ220、ビームホモジナイザ230、集光レンズ240を含む。レーザ発振器200は、固体レーザ等のレーザビームを照射する。レーザビームは、光ファイバ210を介してコリメータ220に照射される。コリメータ220は、光ファイバ210からのレーザビームを平行にする。
ライン形状のレーザビーム250の照射が終了すると、金属部材100は凝固工程となる。図5(a)-(c)は、溶接構造を示す。図5(a)は、図2と同じ方向から見た場合の構造であり、図5(b)は、図5(a)のC-C’線における断面図であり、図5(c)は、z軸の正方向側から見た場合の構造である。金属部材100における第1部材110と第2部材120は図2と同様に示されており、第1部材110の第2面114に第2部材120が重ねられる。第1面112に対してライン形状のレーザビーム250の照射がなされることによって凝固部130が形成される。凝固部130は、レーザ照射によって溶融した第1部材110と第2部材120が、レーザ照射の終了後に凝固した部分である。凝固部130は、第1部材110の第1面112から第2面114を介して第2部材120にわたって溶融した部分であるともいえる。凝固部130が第1部材110と第2部材120とを接合する。
