- the hardness of the nugget 122 is evaluated by the following procedure. (1) Identify the center C of the dent 121 of the spot-welded portion 12 .
- the dent 121 is a depression formed by the electrode being pushed into the steel plate 11 during spot welding. When viewed from the thickness direction of the lap welded joint 1, the dent 121 is usually substantially circular. If the shape of the dent 121 is not circular, the most recessed portion of the dent 121 is specified as the center C of the dent 121 .
- the shape and center of the dent 121 can be easily determined by visually observing the overlapped portion 111 of the lap welded joint 1 from the thickness direction of the lap welded joint 1 . As illustrated in FIGS. 20 and 21 to be described later, if another steel plate 11 or the like is provided so as to cover the dent 121, the dent 121 can be observed after removing it. Further, in the examples of FIGS. 20 and 21, dents 121 are visible on the lower surface of the lap weld joint 1 . In the spot welded portion 12 , dents 121 are formed above and below the nugget 122 . The centers C of these dents 121 usually coincide when the lap welded joint 1 is viewed from the thickness direction.

- the hardness curve of the spot welded portion 12 according to the present embodiment in which the arc welded portion 13 is arranged is, for example, "4 mm" in the upper right part of FIG.
- the hardness inside the nugget 122 becomes lower as it gets closer to the arc welded portion 13 . This is because the closer to the arc welded portion 13, the higher the maximum temperature reached during arc welding, the higher the tempering temperature, and the greater the degree of softening due to tempering.
- the portion where the hardness measurement value of the nugget 122 is the minimum, that is, the nugget most softened portion is the center of the nugget 122 and the arc welded portion 13 (that is, the arc welded portion 13 side of the center of the nugget 122).
- the center of the nugget 122 generally coincides with the center C of the dent 121 of the spot welded portion 12 when viewed from the thickness direction of the lap welded joint 1 .

- the nugget 122 when the nugget 122 is tempered using the arc welded portion 13 , the tempering temperature is higher at a location closer to the arc welded portion 13 . Therefore, in this case, the nugget 122 is unevenly tempered. Formation of the most softened portion of the nugget between the center of the nugget 122 and the arc welded portion 13 means that the nugget 122 is tempered by welding heat when forming the arc welded portion 13 . When the nugget 122 is tempered by heat input when forming the arc welded portion 13 , the most softened portion of the nugget 122 is often formed at the end of the nugget 122 .
- the end portion of the nugget 122 may be requenched during arc welding, resulting in the formation of the nugget's most softened portion away from the edge of the nugget 122 .
- the difference ⁇ HV between the minimum and maximum hardness measurement values of the nugget 122 is 25 HV or more. If ⁇ HV is less than 25HV, the brittleness of the nugget 122 cannot be sufficiently improved, and the joint strength of the lap welded joint 1 is not sufficiently improved.

Note that when a portion of the nugget 122 overlaps the arc weld metal in the cross section, the shape of the nugget 122 before arc welding may be estimated based on the shape of another portion of the nugget 122 .
- the distance between the spot welded portion 12 and the arc welded portion 13 is not particularly limited as long as ⁇ HV is 25HV or more. According to the results of experiments by the present inventors, for example, when the lap weld joint 1 is viewed from the thickness direction, the center C of the dent 121 of the spot welded portion 12 and the edge of the arc welded portion 13 If the shortest distance is 17 mm or less, 15 mm or less, or 13 mm or less, the nugget 122 can be sufficiently tempered to further increase ⁇ HV.

- the pressurizing mechanism of the resistance spot welder may be pressurized by a servomotor or pressurized by air.
- the shape of the gun may be any of a stationary type, a C type, and an X type.
- electrodes for resistance spot welding There are no particular restrictions on electrodes for resistance spot welding. Examples of suitable electrodes include DR-type electrodes with a tip diameter of 5-9 mm.
- the upper and lower electrodes may be the same or different.
- the electrode material may be chromium copper, zirconium copper, or alumina-dispersed copper electrodes. From the viewpoint of suppressing welding of the electrode and the steel sheet, generation of surface dust, and cracking due to liquid metal embrittlement (LME) during welding of zinc-based plated steel sheet, it is preferable to use alumina-dispersed copper as the electrode material.
- LME liquid metal embrittlement
- the applied pressure may be controlled to a constant value, or the pressure may be changed according to the welding stage.
- the applied pressure is, for example, 200 to 800 kgf.
- the energization time for resistance spot welding may be, for example, 0.15 seconds to 2.0 seconds. From the viewpoint of reducing the risk of cracking of the welded portion due to hydrogen embrittlement of the spot welded portion when there is a gap, a longer energization time is desirable.
- the current value for resistance spot welding is not particularly limited, but may be, for example, 5 kA to 13 kA. It is desirable to set the current value to a current value that does not cause flashing from the viewpoint of ensuring joint strength and preventing LME, but it may be within 2.2 kA of the flashing current. From the start to the end of resistance spot welding, the current value may be controlled to be constant, or the current value may be changed according to the welding stage.

- arc welding is performed so as to temper the nugget 122 of the spot welded portion 12 using the welding heat of the arc welding.
- This arc welding does not necessarily have to join two or more welded materials. This is because arc welding is performed to temper the spot welds 12 by arc heat input. Therefore, arc welding may be performed on only one steel plate 11 to form an arc welded portion 13 (arc weld bead) as shown in FIG. 1B. On the other hand, arc welding may be performed on two or more steel plates 11 to form an arc weld 13 as shown in FIG. 2B.
- the arc welding location and arc welding conditions are not particularly limited.
- the smaller the distance between the spot welded portion 12 and the arc welded portion 13 the higher the maximum heating temperature of the spot welded portion 12 during arc welding.
- the maximum heating temperature of the spot welded portion 12 during arc welding rises as the amount of heat input during arc welding increases. The higher the maximum heating temperature, the greater the amount of temper softening of the spot welded portion 12 .
- the maximum heating temperature is too high, requenching of the spot welded portion 12 occurs and the spot welded portion 12 hardens.
- the location for arc welding and the amount of heat input during arc welding may be appropriately selected while taking these matters into consideration. For example, the place where arc welding is performed and the heat input during arc welding are adjusted so that the difference ⁇ HV between the minimum and maximum hardness values of the nugget 122 measured by the above-described measuring method is 25 HV or more. Choose accordingly.
- a suitable example of arc welding is that the heat input of arc welding is 1000 J / cm or more, and when the lap weld joint 1 is viewed from the thickness direction, the center C of the dent 121 of the spot welded portion 12 and the arc welding The arc welding position is determined so that the shortest distance to the edge of the portion 13 is 17 mm or less.

- the arc welding position may be determined so that the dent 121 of the spot welded portion 12 and the arc welded portion 13 overlap. It is preferable to determine the arc welding position so that the distance between the edge of the dent 121 and the edge of the arc welded portion 13 is more than 0 mm.
- the heat input amount may be 1500 J/cm or more.
- the heat input is the energy of the arc per unit length of the weld bead.

- arc welding is carbon dioxide welding, CO 2 gas may be used as the shielding gas.
- Wires for arc welding may be welding wires from YGW12 to YGW17, and if high joint strength is required, high-strength wires with weld metal hardness of about 280 to 480 may be used.
- a wire compatible with the galvanized steel sheet may be used. If cracking due to hydrogen embrittlement occurs around the welded portion, a wire made of austenitic stainless steel such as SUS309 or a wire made of duplex stainless steel may be used. Cracking due to hydrogen embrittlement is suppressed by forming an austenitic structure with high diffusible hydrogen absorption capacity in the weld.
- Arc welding may be pulse welding, short arc welding, or CMT welding. CMT welding is the preferred welding method because it produces less spatter in the weld. Synchro feed welding and super active wire welding may be used. Although these welding methods have different names depending on the manufacturer, they are essentially the same welding methods as CMT.
- arc welding is MIG brazing
- Ar gas or Ar gas containing a small amount of oxidizing gas can be used as the shielding gas.
- Wires used in MIG brazing can be, for example, Cu--Al-based wires, Cu--Si-based wires, and the like. If it is necessary to further improve the joint strength by the arc welded portion 13, arc welding is preferably performed using a Cu—Al based wire.
- positional relationship between arc welding and spot welding conforms to the positional relationship between the arc welded portion 13 and the spot welded portion 12 in the lap welded joint 1 described above. That is, the positional relationship between arc welding and spot welding may be appropriately set so as to realize various forms illustrated in FIG. 1A and the like.

- the arc welding may be lap arc welding to obtain a lap weld joint 1 as illustrated in FIG. 18 or to obtain a composite structure of lap joints and T-joints as illustrated in FIG. for butt arc welding.
- the steel plate 11 to be arc-welded may be overlapped with or butted against the spot-welded steel plate 11.
- a step S4 of adding the steel plate 11 may be provided before the spot welding step S2 depending on the shape of the member and the structure of the production line. However, even in this case, the arc welding process S3 must be performed after the spot welding process S2.
- a press forming process is performed in advance so that a small gap (0.1 mm to 1.5 mm) is formed between the overlapping surfaces of the steel plates, and at least one steel plate near the arc welded portion has a minute protrusion. You can set up a department.

(1)スポット溶接部12の打痕121の中心Cを特定する。打痕121は、スポット溶接の際に、電極が鋼板11に押し込まれることによって形成されるくぼみである。重ね溶接継手1の厚さ方向から平面視したとき、打痕121は通常は略円形状である。もし、打痕121の形状が円ではない場合は、打痕121のうち、最も凹んでいる部分を打痕121の中心Cと特定する。打痕121の形状及びその中心は、重ね溶接継手1の厚さ方向から重ね溶接継手1の重ね合わせ部111を目視することによって、容易に判別することができる。後述する図20及び図21に例示されるように、打痕121を覆うように別の鋼板11等が設けられている場合は、それを取り除いてから打痕121を観察すればよい。また、図20及び図21の例においては、重ね溶接継手1の下側の表面において打痕121が視認できる。スポット溶接部12においては、ナゲット122の上下に打痕121が形成される。これらの打痕121の中心Cは、重ね溶接継手1を厚さ方向から平面視したときに一致することが通常である。そのため、重ね溶接継手1の下側の表面において打痕121を観察し、その中心Cを特定してもよい。
(2)アーク溶接部13の縁における、打痕121の中心Cに最も近い点Pを特定する。アーク溶接部13の縁とは、いわゆるアーク溶接ビードの外周のことである。重ね溶接継手1の厚さ方向からアーク溶接部13を目視することによって、アーク溶接部13の縁を容易に判別することができる。アーク溶接部13を覆うように別の鋼板11等が設けられている場合は、それを取り除いてからアーク溶接部13を観察すればよい。
(3)打痕121の中心Cと、アーク溶接部13の縁における、打痕121の中心Cに最も近い点Pとを結ぶ直線をひく。例えば図1Aにおける一点鎖線IB-IB、及び図2Aにおける一点鎖線IIB-IIBが、当該直線である。当該直線は、重ね合わせ部111の表面にひかれる。当該直線を特定できれば必ずしも当該直線をひかなくてもよい。
(4)当該直線において、鋼板11の重ね合わせ部111を切断する。これにより、当該直線を含み、且つ、鋼板11の重ね合わせ部111に垂直な断面(言い換えれば、重ね溶接継手1の厚さ方向に平行な断面)を形成する。例えば図1BのIB-IB断面図、及び図2BのIIB-IIB断面図が、当該断面である。必要に応じて、硬さ測定が可能な程度に断面を研磨してもよい。
(5)当該断面に含まれるナゲット122のうち、高強度鋼板11Hに含まれる部分の硬さを測定する。具体的には、高強度鋼板11Hのスポット溶接面11HSから、高強度鋼板の板厚tの1/4の深さの位置におけるナゲット122のビッカース硬さを、スポット溶接面11HSに沿って連続的に測定する。ここで、「連続的に測定する」とは、たとえば1mm以下の測定ピッチで測定することを意味する。図1B及び図2Bに記載された破線Lが、硬さ測定位置Lである。ナゲット122の周辺部の硬さも、この際にあわせて測定することが好ましい。なお、スポット溶接面11HSとは、高強度鋼板11Hの2つの表面のうち、スポット溶接部12のナゲット122によって他の鋼板11と接合されている面のことである。スポット溶接面11HSが断面内で延びる方向は、重ね合わせ部111が断面内で延びる方向に一致する。硬さ測定条件は、測定荷重500gfもしくは1000gfとすればよい。いずれの条件であってもほぼ同じ値が得られるので、測定部の形状等に応じた測定条件を適宜採用することができる。
アーク溶接部13を形成する際の入熱によりナゲット122が焼き戻されると、ナゲット最軟化部はナゲット122の端に形成されることが多い。一方、ナゲット122とアーク溶接部13との距離が非常に小さくなるように、例えば、スポット溶接部12とアーク溶接部13が重なるようにアーク溶接部13が形成される場合、ナゲット122の端部がアーク溶接の際に再焼入れされることにより、ナゲット最軟化部がナゲット122の端から離れた場所に形成されることもある。
