Definitions
- the present invention relates to a spot welded joint, and more particularly, to a welded joint in which two thin steel plates are overlapped and spot welded.
- Resistance spot welding is most commonly used for joining thin steel plates.
- the strength has been increased in order to achieve both weight reduction and safety, and it is necessary to add various alloy elements to realize it.
- the weldability has deteriorated, and it is required to ensure the mechanical characteristics (hereinafter also simply referred to as “characteristics”) of the welded joint even in a high-strength steel sheet.
- Patent Document 1 discloses a spot welding method that enables joining of two or three metal plates, dissimilar metals, or the like by controlling the pressure applied by the electrodes and the energization pattern.
- the shape of the nugget formed on the welded joint by this method is a normal meteorite shape having a small radius of curvature at both ends in the radial direction, as shown in FIGS. I can not expect.
- Patent Document 2 discloses a spot welding method that improves the strength of a welded joint by refining the structure of the nugget end by applying vibration due to ultrasonic impact during solidification after melting. .
- this method requires special equipment and is difficult to apply in practice.
- Patent Document 3 discloses a welded joint by enlarging the corona bond portion formed around the nugget by spot welding while reducing the periphery of the contact portion between the electrode and the material to be welded using an indenter during energization.
- a joining method for improving strength is disclosed. In this method, in order to corona bond the area being reduced by the indenter arranged around the electrode, it is necessary to heat this area, so the indenter arranged around the electrode is not actively cooled. . Therefore, in the welded joint formed by this method, as shown in FIGS.
- the corona bond portion is enlarged, but the shape of the nugget has a radius of curvature at both ends in the radial direction as in the conventional case. It is a small meteorite shape. Therefore, by actively cooling the outer pressure part around the electrode, the shape of the nugget formed in the welded joint is a pill case shape whose radius of curvature at both ends in the radial direction is significantly larger than usual. This invention is completely different from the technical idea of the present invention.
- the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and it is an object of the present invention to provide a spot-welded joint that is excellent in joint strength even if it is a welded joint in which high-strength steel plates are spot-welded to each other.
- the spot welded joint of the present invention is A welded joint in which two steel plates having thicknesses t 1 and t 2 are overlapped and spot welded,
- the diameter of the nugget formed by spot welding is 3 ⁇ ⁇ (t 1 + t 2 ) / 2 ⁇ or more (the nugget diameter, and the units of t 1 and t 2 are all mm)
- the radius of curvature of both end portions in the radial direction of the nugget in the plate thickness direction cross section is 0.3 (t 1 + t 2 ) or more.
- the two steel plates are in% by mass (hereinafter the same in component composition).
- C 0.01 to 0.80%
- Si 3% or less
- Mn 0.2 to 10%
- It has a component composition consisting of the balance Fe and inevitable impurities.

- Ti 0.001 to 0.20%
- Nb 0.001 to 0.20%
- V It contains at least one selected from the group consisting of 0.001 to 0.20%.
- the shape of the nugget formed by spot welding is not a conventional meteorite shape, but a pill case shape (substantially cylindrical shape).
- the nugget diameter is 3 ⁇ ⁇ (t 1 + t 2 ) / 2 ⁇ or more (the nugget diameter, t 1 and t 2 are all in mm), and the radius of curvature at both ends of the nugget radial direction in the cross section in the thickness direction is 0.3 (t 1 + t 2 ) or more.
- FIG. 3 schematically shows the case of a conventional welded joint shear tensile test.
- FIG. 3A when a shear tensile load is applied to the welded joint, (b) and (c) As shown in FIG. 5, there is a tendency to break in the direction of 45 ° with respect to the tensile direction (that is, the direction along the joint surface) along the outer periphery of the nugget.
- the present inventor decided that the shape of the nugget and the shape of the HAZ portion in the welded joint portion is not a conventional meteorite shape but a pill case shape (substantially cylindrical shape) as shown in FIGS. 2 (a) to (c). Then, in the nugget HAZ boundary portion and the HAZ softened portion, there is no portion extending along the stress maximizing direction, so the crack propagation direction is greatly deviated from the stress maximizing direction, and the joint strength is reduced. I thought it could be improved.
- the fracture mode is not button fracture but peeling fracture, so the joint strength is determined only by the nugget diameter without depending on the nugget shape. For this reason, in order to enjoy the effect of joint strength improvement by changing the nugget shape, the nugget diameter needs to be sufficiently large.
- Spot welded joint according to the present invention is a welded joint thickness is spot welded by superposing two steel plates 1 and 2 of t 1 and t 2, the diameter D N of the nugget 3 formed by spot welding Is 3 ⁇ ⁇ (t 1 + t 2 ) / 2 ⁇ or more (the nugget diameter, and the units of t 1 and t 2 are all mm), and the radii of curvature at both radial ends of the nugget 3 in the cross section in the plate thickness direction R NE is 0.3 (t 1 + t 2 ) or more (see FIG. 1).

- the nugget diameter DN is 3 ⁇ ⁇ (t 1 + t 2 ) / 2 ⁇ or more, preferably 3.5 ⁇ ⁇ (t 1 + t 2 ) / 2 ⁇ or more, more preferably 4 ⁇ ⁇ (t 1 + t 2 ) / 2 ⁇ or more.
- the joint strength is generally managed by the nugget diameter.
- the nugget diameter is 4 ⁇ t or more. Alternatively, it is required to be 5 ⁇ t or more.
- the nugget diameter in the present invention is defined by using an equation of a ⁇ t or more (a: constant) according to this, and using an average plate thickness (t 1 + t 2 ) / 2 as the plate thickness t.
- the value of the constant a is determined so that the joint strength can be secured.
- the radius of curvature R NE is 0.3 (t 1 + t 2 ) or more, preferably 0.4 (t 1 + t 2 ) or more, more preferably 0.5 (t 1 + T 2 ) or more.
- the radius of curvature R NE is defined by an inequality including (t 1 + t 2 ) is as follows. That is, the shape of the nugget according to the present invention can be substantially specified by the curvature radius R NE and the nugget thickness. The nugget thickness is required to occupy a substantially constant ratio of about several tens of percent of the total plate thickness (t 1 + t 2 ).
- the radius of curvature R NE is considered may be defined by the ratio between the total thickness (t 1 + t 2), the provision of the radius of curvature R NE is b (t 1 + t 2 ) or more (b: constant) is adopted, and the value of the constant b is determined so that a predetermined joint strength can be secured.
- the welded joint according to the present invention is intended for joining thin steel plates, and the thicknesses t 1 and t 2 of the two steel plates may be the same or different, but both are 0.10 to 5.0 mm. It is recommended that the range be in the range of 0.2 to 3.0 mm.
- the presence or absence of surface treatment such as a cold-rolled steel plate, a galvanized steel plate, an alloyed galvanized steel plate, an aluminum-plated steel plate, etc. is not ask
- the two steel plates may be the same or different as long as the component composition is within the above-described component range, and the types may be the same or different.
- C 0.01 to 0.80% C is an important element for ensuring the strength of the base material and the welded joint.
- the C content is preferably 0.01% or more.
- the upper limit of the C content is preferably 0.80%.
- a more preferable lower limit of the C content is 0.03%, and a more preferable upper limit is 0.40%.
- Si 3% or less Si functions as a deoxidizer and is an effective element for securing the strength of the weld metal and reducing oxygen. Such an effect increases as the content thereof increases. However, if the Si content is excessive, the hot dipping property is lowered, so that it is preferably 3% or less, more preferably 2% or less.
- Mn 0.2 to 10%
- Mn is an element effective for improving the strength of the base material. Such an effect increases as the content thereof increases. However, if the Mn content is excessive, dust is easily generated during spot welding, and welding workability is deteriorated. The following is preferable.
- Fe and inevitable impurities are used.
- the above-described two steel plates may include (i) Cr: 0.01 to 1.50%, Mo: 0.01 to 1.50%, Ni: 0.01 to 1.50% as necessary.
- the characteristics of the welded joint may be Further improvement.
- each element is contained in the lower limit value or more. However, if excessively contained, the welded portion becomes brittle and joint strength deteriorates. Therefore, it is preferable that each element is contained in an amount not exceeding the upper limit.
- the nugget diameter is When performing spot welding using a conventional electrode tip (see FIG. 4 (a)) such as a DR type or a smooth tip type and sandwiching the overlapped portion of the steel plates with a pair of electrode tips as in the past, the nugget diameter is When the welding current is increased to increase the nugget, the nugget is formed while the region heated and melted by the resistance heating spreads outward along the overlapping surface of the two steel plates. In the cross section, a meteorite-like nugget having a small radius of curvature at both ends in the nugget radial direction is formed.
- the electrode tip is divided into a tip central portion and a tip outer peripheral portion, and the tip tip is made of a copper-based material similar to a conventional electrode tip, and the tip outer peripheral portion is made of a highly heat conductive material.
- an electrode chip in this specification, “outer peripheral part pressurizing type” is configured such that a non-conductive film is interposed between the central part and the outer peripheral part, and the central part and the outer peripheral part can be independently adjusted. (Referred to as “electrode tip”) (see FIG. 4B).
- the weld joint which concerns on this invention can be produced by adjusting an electric current value and the applied pressure of a center part and an outer peripheral part independently.
- the chip center is energized, and heat is generated between the contact surfaces of the two steel plates to form a nugget, while the outer periphery of the chip is insulated from the chip center by a non-conductive film, A material having high thermal conductivity is brought into contact with the steel sheet without being energized, and is sandwiched with an appropriate pressure while removing heat.
- the shape of the nugget is not a conventional meteorite shape, but a pill case shape in which the end portion in the nugget radial direction is crushed toward the central portion, and the nugget diameter and the curvature of both end portions in the nugget radial direction specified in the present invention A welded joint with a radius is obtained.
- FIG. 4 shows a schematic cross-sectional shape (a) a normal chrome-copper alloy DR electrode tip, or (b) outer periphery processing. What attached one of the pressure type electrode tips was used.
- the tip central portion is made of a chrome copper alloy, and various materials having different thermal conductivities are used for the tip outer peripheral portion. For example, an AlN film is used as the non-conductive film at the tip center.
- the chip was electrically insulated from the outer peripheral part of the chip, and the center part of the chip and the outer peripheral part of the chip were slidably fastened with a spring. By changing the spring constant of this spring, the distribution of the applied pressure between the tip central portion and the tip outer peripheral portion can be freely changed.
- the welding pressure and current value during energization were the conditions shown in Table 2, and the energization time was 10 cycles (0.2 s; constant), and spot welding was performed.
- the curvature radius in a nugget radial direction both ends it calculated
- a welded joint manufactured under the same conditions as described above was separately subjected to a shear tensile test, and the joint strength at break was measured.
- the joint strength is greatly influenced not only by the nugget diameter and the radius of curvature of the end portion of the nugget diameter but also by the steel plate strength and thickness of the base material, and therefore it is difficult to evaluate the effect of the invention by its absolute value.
- the base material steel type, plate thickness, welding conditions (total applied pressure, welding current) are equivalent, and the electrode tip is based on the joint strength when using a conventional DR type, Only the type of the electrode tip and the ratio between the central part pressure and the peripheral part pressure were changed to change the nugget shape, and the resulting joint strength was 15% or more higher than the reference.
- the case shown was judged as acceptable (O) as a welded joint having excellent joint strength was obtained, and the case of less than 15% was judged as unacceptable (x).
- a value higher by 20% or more than the above standard it is indicated by ⁇ that a welded joint having better joint strength was obtained, and a value higher by 25% or more than the above standard is indicated. In this case, it was distinguished by being marked with ⁇ because particularly excellent joint strength was obtained.
- the weld joints 1-2, 2-2, 4-2, 5-2, 5-3, 6-2, 7-2, and 8-2 are examples of the invention that satisfy all the requirements of the present invention.
- the joint strength is 15% or more higher than the standard, and it can be seen that the joint strength is greatly improved.
- test no. 1-1, 2-1, 3-1, 4-1, 5-1, 6-1, 7-1, 8-1 are welded joints, which are the standards produced using ordinary DR type electrode tips. This is a welded joint (comparative example).
- the nugget diameter may meet the requirements of the present invention, but the radius of curvature at both ends in the nugget radial direction does not meet the requirements of the present invention, and the joint strength is sufficiently high. Is not obtained.
- the weld joints 3-2 and 5-4 to 5-6 are manufactured using outer peripheral pressure type electrode tips, but are comparative examples that do not satisfy any of the requirements of the present invention. It can be seen that the joint strength of the weld joints of these comparative examples is less than 15% of the improvement effect from the joint strength of the standard weld joint, and the improvement effect is insufficient.
- the weld joint of 3-2 employs an outer periphery pressurization type electrode tip, so that the radius of curvature at both ends in the nugget radial direction meets the provisions of the present invention, but the welding current is too low, so the nugget diameter is sufficiently large. In other words, a sufficient effect of improving the joint strength is not obtained.
- the welded joints of 5-4 to 5-6 employ an outer periphery pressurization type electrode tip and are joined with a sufficiently high welding current, so that the nugget diameter meets the provisions of the present invention.
- the cooling action is insufficient, so that the radius of curvature at both ends in the nugget radial direction is not sufficiently increased, and a sufficient effect of improving the joint strength is not obtained.
- FIG. 5 shows a comparison of the cross-sectional states of the welded joints of (a) the comparative example (test No. 5-1) and (b) the invention example (test No. 5-2).
- the nugget of the welded joint produced with a conventional electrode tip has a sufficiently large nugget diameter, but has a small radius of curvature at both ends in the nugget radial direction and is a meteorite shape.
- the nugget of the welded joint produced with the outer peripheral pressure type electrode tip has almost the same nugget diameter as the conventional one, but the radius of curvature at both ends in the nugget radial direction is extremely large, and the pill case It is clear that the shape is substantially cylindrical.

Abstract
Description
例えば、特許文献1には、電極による加圧力と通電パターンを制御することで、2枚、3枚重ねの金属板や、異種金属等の接合を可能にするスポット溶接方法が開示されている。しかしながら、この方法により溶接継手に形成されたナゲットの形状は、同文献の図8、図9に示すとおり、その径方向両端部の曲率半径が小さい通常の碁石状であり、十分な特性向上効果が期待できない。
一方、特許文献2には、溶融後の凝固時に超音波衝撃による振動を加えることで、ナゲット端部の組織を微細化することにより、溶接継手の強度を向上させるスポット溶接方法が開示されている。しかしながら、この方法は、特殊な設備が必要であり、実際の適用が難しい。
また、特許文献3には、通電時に電極と被溶接材料の接触部分周囲を圧子を用いて圧下しつつスポット溶接することで、ナゲット周りに形成されるコロナボンド部を拡大することにより溶接継手の強度を向上させる接合方法が開示されている。この方法では、電極周囲に配した圧子で圧下している領域をコロナボンド化するために、この領域を加熱する必要があるため、電極周囲に配した圧子については積極的な冷却を行っていない。そのため、この方法で形成された溶接継手では、同文献の図1、図5に示すように、コロナボンド部は拡大するが、ナゲットの形状は従来と同様、その径方向両端部の曲率半径が小さい碁石状である。したがって、電極周囲の外加圧部を積極的に冷却することで、溶接継手に形成されるナゲットの形状が、その径方向両端部の曲率半径が通常より大幅に大きい、ピルケース状であることを特徴とする本願発明とは、技術的思想を全く異にするものである。
板厚がt1およびt2の2枚の鋼板を重ね合わせてスポット溶接した溶接継手であって、
スポット溶接で形成されたナゲットの径が3√{(t1+t2)/2}以上(ナゲットの径、t1およびt2の単位はすべてmm)であり、
板厚方向断面における、前記ナゲットの径方向両端部の曲率半径が0.3(t1+t2)以上である
ことを特徴とする。
前記2枚の鋼板は、質量%で(以下、成分組成で同じ。)、
C:0.01~0.80%、
Si:3%以下、
Mn:0.2~10%、
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である。
前記2枚の鋼板の成分組成が、さらに、
Cr:0.01~1.50%、
Mo:0.01~1.50%、
Ni:0.01~1.50%、
Cu:0.01~1.50%、
B:0.0001~0.010%よりなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種
を含むものである。
Ti:0.001~0.20%、
Nb:0.001~0.20%、
V:0.001~0.20%よりなる群から選ばれる少なくとも1種
を含むものである。
ナゲット径DNは、ナゲットの大きさを規定するパラメータである。上述したように、ナゲットが小さいと剥離破断が発生するため、継手強度が確保できないし、ナゲット形状変更の効果が得られない。
剥離破断を防止して、ナゲット形状変更の効果を得るため、ナゲット径DNは、3√{(t1+t2)/2}以上、好ましくは3.5√{(t1+t2)/2}以上、さらに好ましくは4√{(t1+t2)/2}以上とする。ここで、スポット溶接では継手強度をナゲット径で管理することが一般的に行われており、板厚t(単位:mm)の薄鋼板同士の重ね合わせスポット溶接では、ナゲット径を4√t以上あるいは5√t以上とすることが要求されている。本発明における上記ナゲット径の規定は、これに倣ってa√t以上(a:定数)の形の式を採用し、板厚tとして平均板厚(t1+t2)/2を用い、所定の継手強度が確保できるように定数aの値を定めたものである。
板厚方向断面における、ナゲットの径方向両端部の曲率半径RNEは、ナゲット形状を規定するパラメータである。曲率半径RNEを大きくすることで(すなわち、ナゲットの断面形状を、その径方向両端部が尖っている碁石状から、その径方向両端部が中心部方向にひしゃげているピルケース状に変更することで)、ボタン破断時における亀裂の伝播方向を応力が最大化する45°方向からずらすことにより、破壊の進行を抑制し、継手強度を向上させることができる。
上記作用を有効に発揮させるためには、曲率半径RNEは、0.3(t1+t2)以上、好ましくは0.4(t1+t2)以上、さらに好ましくは0.5(t1+t2)以上とする。
ここで、曲率半径RNEを(t1+t2)を含む不等式で規定することとしたのは、以下の理由による。すなわち、本発明に係るナゲットの形状は、上記曲率半径RNEとナゲット厚みとでほぼ特定できる。また、ナゲット厚みは、合計板厚(t1+t2)の数10%程度のほぼ一定の比率を占めることが求められる。したがって、ナゲット形状特定のためには、上記曲率半径RNEは、合計板厚(t1+t2)との比率で規定すればよいと考え、上記曲率半径RNEの規定には、b(t1+t2)以上(b:定数)の形の式を採用し、所定の継手強度が確保できるように定数bの値を定めたものである。
本発明に係る溶接継手は、薄鋼板の接合を対象としており、2枚の鋼板の板厚t1,t2は、同じでも、異なっていてもよいが、ともに0.10~5.0mmの範囲、さらには、ともに0.2~3.0mmの範囲とするのが推奨される。
本発明の作用効果は、低強度の鋼板のスポット溶接継手に対しても発現するが、上述したように、継手強度劣化の問題は高強度鋼板のスポット溶接で顕著に現れることから、本発明は、特に高強度の鋼板に適用するのが推奨される。
すなわち、上記2枚の鋼板としては、質量%で(以下、成分組成で同じ。)、C:0.01~0.80%、Si:3%以下、Mn:0.2~10%、残部Feおよび不可避的不純物からなる成分組成を有し、引張強度が590MPa以上の高強度のものが推奨される。また、鋼板の種類としては、冷延鋼板、亜鉛めっき鋼板、合金化亜鉛めっき鋼板、アルミめっき鋼板等、表面処理の有無、相違を問わない。なお、2枚の鋼板は、その成分組成については上記成分範囲内であれば、同一でも異なっていてもかまわないし、その種類についても同じでも異なっていてもかまわない。
Cは、母材および溶接継手の強度を確保するために重要な元素である。これらの強度を確保するためには、C含有量は0.01%以上とすることが好ましい。しかしながら、C含有量が過剰になると、溶融部(すなわち、ナゲット部)にブローホールやクラックが発生しやすくなって、強度(特に接合強度)を却って低下させることになる。このため、C含有量の上限は0.80%とするのが好ましい。なお、C含有量のより好ましい下限は0.03%であり、より好ましい上限は0.40%である。
Siは、脱酸剤として機能し、溶接金属の強度確保と酸素低減に有効な元素である。こうした効果は、その含有量が増加するにつれて増大するが、Si含有量が過剰になると溶融めっき性が低下するので3%以下、さらには2%以下とするのが好ましい。
Mnは、母材の強度を向上させるのに有効な元素である。こうした効果は、その含有量が増加するにつれて増大するが、Mn含有量が過剰になると、スポット溶接時にチリが発生しやすくなって、溶接作業性が劣化するので、10%以下、さらには5%以下とするのが好ましい。
これらの元素は、溶接部の焼入れ性を高め、継手強度の向上に寄与する有用な元素である。
上記作用を有効に発揮させるためには、各元素とも下限値以上含有させるのが好ましい。ただし、過剰に含有させると、溶接部が脆化して継手強度が劣化するので、各元素とも上限値以下の含有とするのが好ましい。
これらの元素は、溶接部を析出強化することで、継手強度の向上に寄与する有用な元素である。
上記作用を有効に発揮させるためには、各元素とも下限値以上含有させるのが好ましい。ただし、過剰に含有させると、溶接部が脆化して継手強度が劣化するので、各元素とも上限値以下の含有とするのが好ましい。
従来のように、DR型や先端平滑型などの通常の電極チップ(図4(a)参照)を用い、鋼板の重ね合わせ部を一対の電極チップで挟み込んでスポット溶接を行う場合、ナゲット径を大きくするために溶接電流を高めていくと、抵抗発熱により加熱されて溶融した領域が2枚の鋼板の重ね合わせ面に沿って外方向に向かって広がりながらナゲットが形成されるため、板厚方向断面における、ナゲット径方向両端部の曲率半径が小さな、碁石状のナゲットが形成される。また、上記溶融領域を鋼板の重ね合わせ面から外方向に広がらせないようにしようとして、電極チップによる加圧力を高めると、電極チップの周りの2枚の鋼板の間が開いてしまい、その開いた隙間を通じて溶融物が外方向にはみ出すため、却って中チリの発生につながり、接手強度が劣化してしまう問題がある。したがって、従来の電極チップを用い、溶接電流や加圧力を制御する方法では、本発明で規定するナゲット径とナゲット径方向両端部の曲率半径の要件をともに満たす溶接継手を作製することは困難である。
