A plurality of projections 6c are formed on a support plate, each of the projections being allowed to be inserted into a corresponding one of the through holes. An adhesive is applied to a portion of the steel plate frame on which the thin plate is placed. The thin plate is placed on the steel plate frame, and the steel plate frame and the thin plate are bonded together by the adhesive. The support plate is placed on the thin plate to insert the projections into the through holes. The projections and the steel plate frame are welded to form a plurality of welded spots.

Abstract: An arc welding apparatus includes a lifting motor. A speed adjustment circuit controls the lifting motor such that the rising speed of the welder decreases if a current of the welding power source is smaller than a set value, or increases if the value of the current is larger than the set value. A voltage adjustment circuit controls the welding power source such that the voltage increases if the number of times that the voltage falls below a determination voltage is larger than a set number of times or if periods for which the voltage remains below the determination voltage are longer than a set time, or decreases if the number of times that the voltage falls below a determination voltage is smaller than a set number of times or if periods for which the voltage remains below the determination voltage is shorter than a set time.

Abstract: A solid wire is for gas-shielded arc welding, using a shielding gas, and for galvanized steel sheet welding. The solid wire comprises, to the mass of the whole of the solid wire, predetermined amount of C, Si, Mn, P, S, O, and Cr, with the balance consisting Fe and inevitable impurities. The solid wire satisfies “1.0≦(percentage by mass of Si+that by mass of Mn)/{100(that by mass of S+that by mass of O}≦4.0” and “0.50≦percentage by mass of Mn/that by mass of Si≦2.00”. The shielding gas is an Ar gas comprising 25 to 40% of CO2 gas. It is achieved to improve spatter-decreasing performance and pore-resisting performance (performance of restraining the generation of porosity defects, such as pits and blowholes).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for joining a plated steel sheet, in which at least one of a first steel sheet and a second steel sheet is a plated steel sheet, and the first and second steel sheets overlapped with each other are subjected to an arc spot welding. The method includes press-working the first steel sheet into a desired shape and at the same time forming a linear groove on an overlapping surface with the second steel sheet of the first steel sheet, overlapping the first and second steel sheets, and setting a welding torch with the groove as a target position, and performing the arc spot welding so as to overlap the groove when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the overlapping surface.
