- Resistance spot welding can join steel plates cheaply and quickly. Therefore, resistance spot welding is used in various applications, such as joining high-strength steel plates that are materials for automobile body parts.
- high-strength steel plates such as steel plates with a tensile strength of 1300 MPa class, 1500 MPa class, and 1800 MPa class, have problems with a decrease in joint strength and hydrogen embrittlement at the joint part of spot welded joints.
- One of the causes is a decrease in the toughness of the nugget (molten zone) as the C content of the nugget increases.
- heat treatment under various conditions is applied to optimize the metal structure. This ensures the toughness of the high-strength steel plate.
- the metal structure changes in the nugget and the HAZ (Heat Affected Zone) around it. As a result, nugget embrittlement occurs. From the viewpoint of ensuring the joint strength of spot welded joints, there is a need for a joining method that suppresses nugget embrittlement.

- the present inventors discovered a unique method when spot-welding a set of steel plates 11 each including one or more high-strength steel plates, and in which the steel plates 11 have different tensile strengths and/or thicknesses. It was found that morphological cracks C occurred. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, in the HAZ 123 near the outer peripheral end 122E of the pressure welding part 122, a crack C was observed that progressed in the thickness direction of the steel plate 11. Note that when the spot welding portion 12 is viewed from above, the pressure contact portion 122 is formed in a ring shape around the nugget 121. Therefore, the outer circumferential end 122E of the pressure contact portion 122 can be visually recognized as the end on the opposite side of the nugget 121 in the cross section of the nugget 121.
- the inventors of the present invention first identified the conditions under which stress is likely to occur at the outer peripheral end 122E of the pressure contact part 122, and then decided to prevent cracking near the outer peripheral end 122E of the pressure contact part 122. As a result, the present inventors found that the conditions under which stress is likely to occur at the outer circumferential end 122E of the pressure contact portion 122 are as follows. - The greater the strength difference and thickness difference between the first steel plate 111 and the second steel plate 112, the greater the amount of deformation of the second steel plate 112. - The greater the tensile strength of the second steel plate 112, the greater the second steel plate 112. The stress that the steel plate 112 of An index HC of the breakability of the HAZ 123 of the first steel plate 111 in the vicinity of the portion 122E was defined.
- index HC is the strength/plate of the first steel plate 111 and the second steel plate 112. This is an index value of thickness balance. The larger this index value is, the larger the amount of deformation of the second steel plate 112 during spot welding becomes. The smaller the tensile strength TS 2 of the second steel plate 112 is with respect to the tensile strength TS 1 of the first steel plate 111, the larger the index value becomes. Moreover, the smaller the thickness t 2 of the second steel plate 112 is with respect to the thickness t 1 of the first steel plate 111, the larger the index value becomes.

図1に示されるように、本開示の第一実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1は、第1の鋼板111と、第2の鋼板112と、第1の鋼板111及び第2の鋼板112を接合するスポット溶接部12と、を備え、第1の鋼板111及び第2の鋼板112は直接重ねあわされ、第1の鋼板111の引張強さは1500MPa以上、第2の鋼板112の引張強さは第1の鋼板111の引張強さ以下、第1の鋼板111の表面から深さ20μmまでのビッカース硬さは第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さの95%以下、第1の鋼板111の母材部の式1によって定義される炭素等量Ceqは0.22%以上、式2によって定義される指標HCは170以上、スポット溶接部12は、ナゲット121と、ナゲットの周囲の第1の鋼板111及び第2の鋼板112を接合する圧接部122とを備え、圧接部122の外周側端部122Eの第1の鋼板111側20μmのビッカース硬さは第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さよりHv50以上低い。
Ceq=C+Si/90+(Mn+Cr)/100 (式1)
HC=Ceq×TS2×(1-(TS2×t2 3)/(TS1×t1 3))/√t2 (式2)
ここで、式1に記載の元素記号は、第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4部における、当該元素記号に対応する元素の単位質量%での含有量であり、式2に記載の記号TS1は、第1の鋼板111の単位MPaでの引張強さであり、t1は、第1の鋼板111の単位mmでの板厚であり、TS2は、第2の鋼板112の単位MPaでの引張強さであり、t2は、第2の鋼板112の単位mmでの板厚である。
第一実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1の溶接母材は、2枚以上の鋼板11である。以下、鋼板11の枚数が2枚である場合について最初に説明し、次いで鋼板11の枚数が3枚以上である場合について説明する。
第一実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1では、2枚の鋼板11の一方又は両方が、高強度鋼板とされる。本明細書において高強度鋼板とは、引張強さが1300MPa以上、又は1500MPa以上の鋼板と定義される。
また、便宜上、2枚の鋼板11のうち引張強さが高い方の鋼板11を第1の鋼板111と定義し、もう一方の鋼板11を第2の鋼板112と定義する。図1に記載のスポット溶接継手1においては、下から1枚目のハッチングされた鋼板11のみが高強度鋼板であり、その他の鋼板11は軟鋼板である。そのため、ハッチングされた鋼板11を第1の鋼板111とみなし、ハッチングされていない鋼板11を第2の鋼板112とみなす。もし、2枚の鋼板11が同一の引張強さを有する場合は、厚い方の鋼板11を第1の鋼板111と定義し、薄い方の鋼板11を第2の鋼板112と定義する。なお、2枚の鋼板の板厚及び引張強さが同一である場合は、後述する指標HCが0となるので、第一実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1では考慮されない。
また、第一実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1では、好ましくは、第1の鋼板111の表面から深さ20μmまでのビッカース硬さが第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さの95%以下である。このことは、第1の鋼板111の脱炭層深さが少なくとも20μmであることを意味する。脱炭層深さ、及びその作用効果については後述される。なお、板厚1/4位置とは、第1の鋼板111の板厚をt1と表したときに、第1の鋼板111の表面から1/4t1の深さの位置である。板厚1/4位置は、後述する板厚1/4部とは異なる概念である。
Ceq=C+Si/90+(Mn+Cr)/100 (式1)
ここで、式1に記載の元素記号は、第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4部における、当該元素記号に対応する元素の単位質量%での含有量である。第1の鋼板111の母材部とは、第1の鋼板111において溶接時の熱影響を受けていない領域のことである。板厚1/4部とは、第1の鋼板111の板厚をt1と表したときに、第1の鋼板111の表面から1/8t1以上1/4t1以下の深さの領域である。なお、板厚内部とは、第1の鋼板111の板厚をt1と表したときに、第1の鋼板111の表面から深さt1/4分を除いた範囲、すなわち1/4t1~3/4t1の範囲である。第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4部又は板厚内部の化学成分を、燃焼法(赤外線吸収法)や分光分析法等を用いて測定することにより、第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4部又は板厚内部の炭素等量Ceqを得ることができる。板厚1/4部のCeq及び板厚内部のCeqはおおむね一致する。
第一実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1において、高強度鋼板を含む2枚の鋼板11は、スポット溶接部12によって接合されている。図1及び図2に示されるように、スポット溶接部12は、溶融凝固部であるナゲット121と、圧接部122を有する。圧接部122は、ナゲット121の周囲に形成されている。圧接部122は、ナゲット121の周囲の第1の鋼板111及び第2の鋼板112を接合する。圧接部122とは、溶融凝固は生じていないが、2枚の鋼板11を固相接合する領域であり、圧接面、又はコロナボンドとも称される。また、ナゲット121の周囲にはHAZ123が形成される。HAZ123とは、溶融凝固は生じていないが、溶接熱の影響で金属組織、冶金的性質、及び機械的性質などが変化した領域である。
第一実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1においては、下記式2によって定義される指標HCが170以上とされる。
HC=Ceq×TS2×(1-(TS2×t2 3)/(TS1×t1 3))/√t2 (式2)
ここで、式2に記載の記号の意味は以下の通りである。
・TS1:第1の鋼板111の単位MPaでの引張強さ
・t1:第1の鋼板111の単位mmでの板厚
・TS2:第2の鋼板112の単位MPaでの引張強さ
・t2:第2の鋼板112の単位mmでの板厚
・Ceq:上記式1によって算出される第1の鋼板111の炭素等量
HCは、圧接部の外周側端部122Eの近傍における、第1の鋼板のHAZ割れの生じやすさの指標である。指標HCに関し、以下に説明する。
(1)同強度同板厚の2枚の鋼板11をスポット溶接した後には、2枚の鋼板11の合わせ面においてナゲット121を剥離させるような応力が発生する。
(2)強度や厚さが相違する2枚の鋼板11をスポット溶接した後には、2枚の鋼板11のうち変形しづらい方の鋼板11の圧接部122の外周側端部122Eにも高い応力が発生する。
・第1の鋼板111及び第2の鋼板112の強度差、及び厚さ差が大きいほど、第2の鋼板112の変形量が大きい
・第2の鋼板112の引張強さが大きいほど、第2の鋼板112が第1の鋼板111に加える応力が大きい
・ナゲット径が小さいほど、単位面積あたりの応力が大きい
そこで本発明者らは、これらの条件を考慮しながら、圧接部122の外周側端部122Eの近傍における第1の鋼板111のHAZ123の割れやすさの指標HCを定義した。
指標HCが170以上である場合、図5に示されるように、圧接部122の外周側端部122Eの近傍における第1の鋼板111のHAZ123が、最も割れやすい領域となる。そこで第一実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1では、圧接部122の外周側端部122Eの第1の鋼板111側20μmのビッカース硬さを、第1の鋼板111の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さよりもHv50以上低くする。圧接部122の外周側端部122Eの第1の鋼板111側20μmのビッカース硬さ(即ち、圧接部122の外周側端部122Eにおける第1の鋼板111の表層部のビッカース硬さ)とは、図2に示されるように、第1の鋼板111における圧接部122の外周側端部122Eから深さ20μmの部位Dにおいて測定されるビッカース硬さである。
次に、鋼板11の枚数が3枚以上であるスポット溶接継手1について説明する。
第1の鋼板111の表面から深さ50μmまでのビッカース硬さが、第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さの95%以下であることが好ましい。換言すると、第1の鋼板111の脱炭層深さが50μm以上であることが好ましい。この場合、圧接部の外周側端部の第1の鋼板側50μmのビッカース硬さを、第1の鋼板の母材部の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さよりHv50以上低くすることができる。また、第1の鋼板111の表面から深さ100μmまでのビッカース硬さが、第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さの95%以下であることが好ましい。換言すると、第1の鋼板111の脱炭層深さが100μm以上であることが好ましい。この場合、圧接部の外周側端部の第1の鋼板側100μmのビッカース硬さを、第1の鋼板の母材部の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さよりHv50以上低くすることができる。また、第1の鋼板111の表面から深さ200μmまでのビッカース硬さが、第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さの95%以下であることが好ましい。換言すると、第1の鋼板111の脱炭層深さが200μm以上であることが好ましい。この場合、圧接部の外周側端部の第1の鋼板側200μmのビッカース硬さを、第1の鋼板の母材部の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さよりHv50以上低くすることができる。これにより、第1の鋼板111のHAZ割れを、一層効果的に防止することができる。
本開示の第二実施形態に係る自動車用部品は、第一実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1を有する。自動車用部品は、厚い高強度鋼板と薄い軟鋼とを接合して製造されることが多いが、第二実施形態に係る自動車用部品によれば、圧接部122の外周側端部122Eの近傍のHAZ割れを解消することができる。
本開示の第三実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1の製造方法は、2枚以上の鋼板11を有するスポット溶接継手1の製造方法である。具体的には、第三実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1の製造方法は、第1の鋼板111と第2の鋼板112とを重ね合わせること、及び第1の鋼板111と第2の鋼板112とをスポット溶接すること、を備え、第1の鋼板111の引張強さは1500MPa以上、第2の鋼板112の引張強さは第1の鋼板111の引張強さ以下、第1の鋼板111の表面から深さ20μmまでのビッカース硬さは、第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4位置のビッカース硬さの95%以下、第1の鋼板111の母材部の式1によって定義される炭素等量Ceqは0.22%以上、式2によって定義される指標HCは170以上である。
Ceq=C+Si/90+(Mn+Cr)/100(式1)
HC=Ceq×TS2×(1-(TS2×t2 3)/(TS1×t1 3))/√t2(式2)
ここで、式1に記載の元素記号は、第1の鋼板111の母材部の板厚1/4部における、当該元素記号に対応する元素の単位質量%での含有量であり、式2に記載の記号TS1は、第1の鋼板111の単位MPaでの引張強さであり、t1は、第1の鋼板111の単位mmでの板厚であり、TS2は、第2の鋼板112の単位MPaでの引張強さであり、t2は、第2の鋼板112の単位mmでの板厚である。これにより、圧接部122の外周側端部122Eの近傍のHAZ割れが解消されたスポット溶接継手1を容易に得ることができる。炭素等量等の数値の好ましい上下限値は、第一実施形態に係るスポット溶接継手1に準じる。
