Abstract:
A welding structural part 1 is manufactured by overlapping the surfaces of steel sheets 2, and forming a weld zone by spot welding. The weld zone 3 includes: a weld nugget 4; and a heat affected zone 5 surrounding the weld nugget 4, wherein the hardness in the weld zone increases along an exterior region 6 of the heat affected zone 5 toward the heat affected zone 5, and then decreases along the heat affected zone 5 toward the central region of the weld nugget 4. In the boundary region between the weld nugget 4 and the heat affected zone 5, the weld nugget 4 may have a convex portion 4A bulging into the heat affected zone 5 along the overlapped portion. The steel sheets 2 contain carbon in 0.15 mass% or more.

Abstract:
A welding station (1) for vehicles metal sheet body components (2) is provided with a base (3) and a plurality of supporting members (4), which are mounted on the base (3) for supporting, in use, the components (2) to be welded and are each provided with fixing devices (5) of a magnetic type designed to hold said components (2) in position with respect to the base (3).
Abstract:
An arc welding apparatus 1 welds a bracket 2 held by a welding head 6 to a pipe 3 by arc welding. A hollow tubular member 5 is provided in the bracket 2, which tubular member 5 is formed in a hollow conical shape, so that the diameter thereof increases from the bracket 2 to an open tip 10 therein. The open tip 10 of the tubular member 5 of the bracket 2 held by the welding head 6 is pulled up from a condition of being in contact with the pipe 3, an electric arc is generated between the tip of the tubular member 5 and the pipe 3 to effect melting, and the open tip 10 is pressed against the pipe 3, whereupon the bracket 2 is welded to the pipe 3.
