PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide welding method capable of obtaining at high speed a welding bead structure that is high in welding strength as well as airtightness in a weld zone. SOLUTION: In a welding method in which edge welding or butt welding is performed using a laser beam, a weld zone 6 is irradiated with a YAG laser beam 11 along the extended direction of the weld zone and then with a semiconductor laser beam 13 in a manner following the YAG laser beam after a lapse of a specific interval L1. The width W2 of the semiconductor laser beam is set larger than the radius W1 of the YAG laser beam. Then, the weld bead structure 33 in which a heat conductive type wide bead 32 that is wider than the deep penetration bead is superposed on a keyhole-shaped deep penetration bead 31, is continuously formed along the extending direction of the weld zone 6.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a laser welding method for surface treated steel sheets, a method that enables dry fine solid particles to be used directly as spacers and that thereby eliminates special post treatment such as a drying process to help improving productivity as well as reducing manufacturing cost. SOLUTION: On one 1 of the two plated steel sheets to be welded, there are deposited fine solid particles 3 such as steel beads for shot peening by means of a cladding laser torch having a fine particle passage. Then, on this surface treated steel sheet 1, the other one 2 is superposed through the fine solid particles 3, and subsequently the superposed parts are laser-welded. Between the two plated steel sheets 1, 2, a minute gap is maintained by the fine solid particles 3; therefore, in the laser welding, gasses generated by the evaporation of the metallic components in the plated layers 1a, 2a are discharged outside through the gap, enabling a quality weld metal 5 free from blowholes to be obtained.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To suppress meandering of wire in a wire supply path between a wire supply means and a contact tip and accordingly stably supply the wire to a laser irradiation point. SOLUTION: A laser brazing device continuously delivers the wire 12 supplied from a wire supply machine through a guide tube to the irradiation point of a laser beam on a workpiece through the contact tip and fuses the delivery end of the wire 12 by the laser beam. A chuck unit 20 as a meandering suppressing means, which constrains the wire 12 in a radial direction and suppresses the meandering of the wire 12 in the guide tube, is provided at the front step of the contact tip. The chuck unit 20 is configured to have a taper collet 27 which is always urged by a spring 29 and generates fastening force to the wire 12. When the wire 12 is supplied, the taper collet 27 is slightly retreated from a fastening position corresponding to the movement of the wire 12 to allow the free movement of the wire 12.

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a method and an apparatus for lap laser welding, by which method and apparatus, the generation of large weld cracks can be suppressed by suppressing the propagation of minute weld cracks, which are caused in a bead, in welding directions. SOLUTION: A welding torch irradiates a two-plate overlapped workpiece W with a laser beam B. A welding operation is carried out while swinging the welding torch toward right and left with respect to welding direction F making the irradiation point of the workpiece W as a center. The bead 6 is varied so as to continuously change its tilting angle from a rightward tilting state 6A to a leftward tilting state 6C via a vertical state 6B in a plane perpendicular to the welding direction F, and further so as to change its tilting angle in the reversed order. Therefore, the bead 6 continues in the welding direction F while waving with a required cycle. As a result, even if minute weld cracks have been generated in the bead 6, the propagation of the weld cracks is suppressed halfway, and the minute weld cracks do not grow to large weld cracks.
