Abstract:
The present invention provides a method for welding and heat-treating seam-welded constructions of hardenable steel and ferrous alloys with reduced weld-zone hardness and improved weld-zone ductility and toughness. This method consists of controlling the cooling rate of the seam weld with a secondary heat source, applied after the weld cools below the materials upper critical temperature (AC3), but prior to the weld cooling to ambient temperature. This invention is particularly suited to the production of high strength hardenable alloy seam-welded pipe and tubing.
Abstract:
A resistance welding method preventing a bonded part raised once to a high temperature from being cooled to a martensite phase in texture when bonding carbon steel having a carbon content of at least that of medium carbon steel by resistance welding and as a result preventing a drop in toughness and embrittlement of the bonded part, cracking of the bonded part, and aging cracks, comprising running a current through a common rail unit and holder formed by carbon steel having a carbon content of 0.35 wt % to bond the clamped parts and controlling the current run through the common rail unit and holder and current carrying time to slowly cool the bonded part raised to a high temperature for annealing treatment, whereby the Vicker's hardness can be lowered to less than 600 HV and the majority of the texture of the bonded part can be made the medium stage phase.
Abstract:
After measuring the bulk resistance the surface of high strength low alloy steel material is treated to form a high resistance coating on its surface. When resistance welding the material the coating permits weld formation without significant expulsion or excessive electrode force over a wide range of operating conditions.

Abstract:
To enable welding in a state in which aluminum plating in a desired welding region is removed at a desired high accuracy, a plating layer (103) in a welding region (151) and a plating layer (104) in a welding region (152) are removed using an alkaline solution to form a preprocessed aluminum plated steel sheet (101a), and a plating layer (123) in a welding region (153) and a plating layer (124) in a welding region (154) are removed using an alkaline solution to form a preprocessed aluminum plated steel sheet (121a).
Abstract:
In a spot welded joint according to an aspect of the present invention, with respect to a rectangular planar region of 100 μm×100 μm which is perpendicular to a sheet surface of the plurality of the steel sheets and which centers around an inner point spaced away by 100 μm in a direction parallel with the sheet surface from an edge of a nugget, in a case of measuring a P concentration at a pitch of 1 μm to obtain measured values of the P concentration at 100×100 of measurement points, and in a case of repetitively calculating an average value of the measured values of the P concentration at 20 of the measurement points which are adjacent to each other and which are arranged in a row in the direction parallel with the sheet surface among the 100×100 of the measurement points while shifting each one point to obtain 81×100 of the average values, the number of the average values which are more than two times an average P concentration is 0 to 100.
Abstract:
The base member 3 can be attached to and detached from a base-holding member 5 without using tools and the like. The base-holding member 5 has a positioning mechanism that decides the position of the base member 3 on the base-holding member 5. Here, a reference part that decides the position of the base member 3 on the base-holding member 5 in a direction parallel to an optical fiber installation surface 2, which is an upper surface of the base member 3, is called a horizontal positioning reference part. Also, a reference part that decides the position of the base member 3 on the base-holding member in a direction vertical to the optical fiber installation surface 2 (the direction vertical to the horizontal positioning reference part), which is the upper surface of the base member 3, is called a vertical positioning reference part 6. That is, the horizontal positioning reference part and the vertical positioning reference part 6 are provided on the base-holding member 5.
