- the welding current I increases while the arc 19 is generated, the arc reaction force applied to the droplet also increases, making it difficult for a short circuit between the welding wire 18 and the workpiece 17 to occur. For this reason, there was a problem in that the droplets grew excessively and spatter etc. were likely to occur.
- the welding speed can be improved compared to TIG welding as shown in Patent Document 1.
- the process time in the welding process for magnesium-based materials can be shortened, and productivity can be improved.
- the current just before short circuit I C is set too low, other problems may occur. For example, if the setting range of the current just before short circuit I C is set too low than the above-mentioned range, the temperature of the molten pool (not shown) formed in the workpiece 17 will become low.

- the forward feed speed SF is set too high, the above-mentioned problems may occur. In other words, there is a possibility that blowholes are likely to occur inside the workpiece 17. Alternatively, the weld bead may rise higher than desired.
- the forward feed speed S F is preferably in the range of 30 m/min to 70 m/min.
- the reverse feeding speed S R when the forward feeding speed S F is set high as shown in this embodiment, the reverse feeding speed S R must also be made high. If only the forward feed speed S F is set to a high value and the reverse feed speed S R is set to a low value, the weld bead tends to swell excessively. For this reason, in the case of a magnesium-based material than in the case of an aluminum-based material, as the forward feed rate S F is set higher, the reverse feed rate S R is also set higher.
- both the forward feed amount and reverse feed amount of the welding wire 18 during short circuit welding are The amount increases in this embodiment, that is, in the case of a magnesium-based material, than in the case of a magnesium-based material.

- the low current continuation period T1 after the short circuit is opened is set to decrease as the average current IS increases. This is the same whether the material of the workpiece 17 is an aluminum-based material or a magnesium-based material.
- the low current continuation period T1 after the short circuit is opened is set to be longer when the workpiece 17 is made of a magnesium-based material than when it is made of an aluminum-based material.
- the low current continuation period T1 (first period T1) after the short circuit is opened is in the range of 4000 ⁇ sec to 1000 ⁇ sec.

- the current value of the welding current I is set to a low value (fourth value I D ), and the low value is maintained for a certain period (first period T1).
- the output control unit 10 controls the welding current I so that. By doing so, first, the arc reaction force generated between the welding wire 18 and the workpiece 17 can be reduced. Further, in the middle or at the end of the first period T1, the operation of the welding wire 18 is switched from reverse feeding to forward feeding, and the distance L between the welding wire 18 and the workpiece 17 is changed after the first period T1 has elapsed. , almost the maximum value.
- the process moves to the first step, and the current value of the welding current I increases to the first value IA . That is, since the welding current I is increased while the distance L is sufficiently secured, a droplet of an appropriate size can be formed at the tip of the welding wire 18. Furthermore, the increase in the arc reaction force applied to the droplets is suppressed, and the scattering of the droplets and the occurrence of spatter can be suppressed.
- the maximum value is about 4 mm, but it can be changed as appropriate depending on the wire diameter of the welding wire 18, the reverse feed speed SR , the inertia of the robot holding the torch, etc. Further, the distance L does not necessarily have to reach the maximum value after the first period T1 has elapsed. Even if the welding current I is increased to the first value IA , it is sufficient to ensure a distance that does not cause droplets to scatter.
- the fourth value ID is such that the tip of the welding wire 18, which is attached to the molten pool formed on the workpiece 17, becomes thinner immediately before the short circuit between the welding wire 18 and the workpiece 17 is released. , corresponds to the current value when the so-called constriction phenomenon occurs.
- the output control unit 10 sets the fourth value ID .
- the welding current I is controlled so that (fifth step).
- the amount of heat applied to the welding wire 18 corresponds to a power integrated value obtained by integrating the power supplied to the welding wire 18 within a predetermined period after the welding wire 18 and the workpiece 17 are short-circuited.
- the electric power supplied to the welding wire 18 is calculated based on the product of the welding voltage V applied between the welding wire 18 and the workpiece 17 and the welding current I.

- the power integration threshold PTH is set to be lower when the material of the workpiece 17 is a magnesium-based material than when it is an aluminum-based material.
- the power integration threshold P TH is in the range of 4 kW to 8 kW. That is, when the average current IS is 50 A or more and 200 A, the power integration threshold P TH is 4 kW or more and 8 kW or less.
- the electrical resistivity of magnesium (about 4.3 ⁇ cm at room temperature) is lower than that of iron (about 10.4 ⁇ cm at room temperature in the case of pure iron), and that of aluminum (about 2.8 ⁇ cm at room temperature). ) close to.
- the welding current I is changed to the fourth value ID. Control so that In this way, by lowering the welding current I before opening the short circuit and reducing the amount of heat input to the welding wire 18, it is possible to suppress the occurrence of spatter when the short circuit is opened. Further, since the welding current I is reduced before the short circuit is opened without detecting the occurrence of a constriction, it is possible to avoid problems caused by erroneously determining the presence or absence of a constriction.
- the integrated power value can be calculated excluding the period when the short circuit is not stable.
- the calculation of the integrated power value may be started after the welding current I starts to rise after the welding wire 18 is short-circuited. By doing so, even if there is a change in the welding voltage V, an appropriate amount of heat can be applied to the welding wire 18.

[アーク溶接装置の構成]
図1は、本実施形態に係るアーク溶接装置の概略構成図である。アーク溶接装置16は、消耗電極である溶接ワイヤ18と被溶接物であるワーク17との間で、アーク状態と短絡状態とを繰り返して溶接を行う。なお、溶接ワイヤ18は、図示しないトーチに保持されており、トーチが所定の速度で移動することで、溶接ワイヤ18の先端も同様に、同じ速度で所定の溶接区間に沿って移動する。
図2は、短絡溶接時の溶接電流及び溶接電圧の出力波形とワイヤ送給速度の変化とを示す図である。図3は、短絡溶接時の溶接電流及び溶接電圧の出力波形と溶接ワイヤの先端とワークとの間の距離の時間変化とを示す図である。図4は、短絡溶接時の溶接電流の波形の拡大図である。
以上説明したように、本実施形態に係るアーク溶接方法は、ワーク17に対して溶接ワイヤ18の正送と逆送とを交互に繰り返す短絡溶接である。ワーク17及び溶接ワイヤ18の材質は、それぞれ、マグネシウム系材料、つまり、マグネシウムまたはマグネシウム合金である。
短絡溶接期間(溶接期間Tのk倍の期間(kは1以上の整数))の前後の少なくとも一方にパルス溶接期間を設けてもよい。パルス溶接期間では、溶接ワイヤ18をワーク17に向けて所定のワイヤ送給速度Sで送給するとともに、溶接ワイヤ18にピーク電流とベース電流とを交互に流すことで、ワーク17と溶接ワイヤ18との間でアーク19を発生させて、溶接を行う。
