    摘要: A friction stir welding apparatus that includes a rotary tool and a heating device. The heating device is placed in front of the rotary tool to heat steel sheets that are used as a workpiece. The rotary tool is moved in the welding direction so that steel sheet is softened by frictional heat. Additionally, the surface temperature, the area, and the position of the heated region during the heating process are strictly controlled. The heating of the steel sheets by the welding apparatus provides sufficient strength and good welding workability by advantageously eliminating plastic flow defects generated due to insufficient heating of workpieces.

    摘要: An arc welded joint and an arc welding method. The arc welded joint has a weld formed by arc welding of an overlap of at least two steel sheets. The throat in the weld and the sheet that is uppermost among the steel sheets satisfy a specified relationship. In a region extending 2.0 mm from a bead toe of the weld in a weld metal direction and also extending 2.0 mm from the bead toe in a base material direction, a slag-covered area ratio is 50% or less.

    摘要: A resistance spot welding method in which a high strength zinc-based coated steel sheet used in a sheet set has an equivalent carbon content of 0.20% or more and a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more. The method includes performing a first energization step such that a current value at the end of the energization, a current value Is at the start of the energization, and a thickness of the thinnest steel sheet among steel sheets overlapping each other satisfy specified relationships. The method includes performing a second energization step in which a cooling step of holding a non-energization state for 10 ms or longer and shorter than 160 ms and performing energization at a current value equal to or more than the current value at the end of the first energization step for 20 ms or longer and shorter than 200 ms are repeated.

    摘要: A resistance spot welding method for joining two or more steel sheets including at least one zinc-coated steel sheet. The method includes a first current applying step and a second current applying step. The first current applying step involves forming a nugget having a nugget diameter of 3√t or more and 4.5√t or less by setting a current value I1 (kA) and a weld time, where t is a thickness of the thinnest steel sheet among the overlapping steel sheets. The second current applying step involves growing the nugget by repeating a cooling step for maintaining a zero-current state for 10 ms or more and less than 160 ms and a current applying step for applying a current for 20 ms or more and less than 200 ms at a current value I2 (kA) greater than or equal to the current value I1 (kA).

    摘要: Main current passage and subsequent current passage are performed, with a cooling time of 0.01 s or more being provided between the main current passage and the subsequent current passage. Ip/I which is a ratio of a current value of the subsequent current passage to a current value of the main current passage is controlled to satisfy a predetermined relationship depending on a constant A defined by Mn content and P content of a steel sheet as a part to be welded, in relation to a welding time Tp of the subsequent current passage, a cooling time T, and the constant A.
