0.9mm or less.
In this way, in the state for being overlapped two steel plates 4 and steel plate 5 in a manner of there is gap A between two steel plates
Under, it is engaged using laser welding.Specifically, laser beam is irradiated on the surface of the steel plate 4 of the upside into the steel plate of overlapping
3, and make laser beam 3 relative in the state of overlapping steel plate 4 and steel plate 5 relatively move.As a result, in steel plate 4 and steel plate 5
The position irradiated by laser beam 3 melts and forms fusing department, and then fusing department solidifies and forms welding bead (sealing wire) 7.
In the present invention, which meets above-mentioned formula (1).Specifically, as shown in figure 3, will begin from welding bead
The process that end X is formed about welding bead to the 1/5 of welding bead overall length is set as initial stage welding Si, will then initial stage weld SiAnd until welding bead
The process that the 4/5 of overall length is formed about welding bead is set as formally welding S, then will formally weld S and until welding bead terminal Y shape is at weldering
The process in road is set as final welding Sf, S will be welded at initial stageiAnd the laser output in formal welding S is set as P (kW), at this point, final
Weld SfIn laser export Pf(kW) meet above-mentioned formula (1).The 1/5 of welding bead overall length is nearby that 1/5 ± welding bead of welding bead overall length is complete
In the range of long 3/40, that is, in the range of from the 5/40 of welding bead overall length to the 11/40 of welding bead overall length.Moreover, welding bead overall length
4/5 nearby be welding bead overall length 4/5 ± welding bead overall length 3/40 in the range of, that is, from welding bead overall length 29/40 to welding bead overall length
In the range of 35/40.In figure 3 it is shown that nearby the 1/5 of welding bead overall length is set as the 1/5 of welding bead overall length, moreover, welding bead is complete
Long 4/5 is nearby set as 4/5 example of welding bead overall length.
Welding bead overall length is slave welding bead beginning on the direction that laser beam 3 moves on the surface of the steel plate 4 of upside to terminal
Length.In linear welding bead 7 for example as shown in Figure 3, welding bead overall length is between welding bead beginning X and welding bead terminal Y
Linear distance, be the length of the length direction of welding bead 7.Moreover, the case where welding bead 7a of C-shape shown in Fig. 4, Fig. 5 institute
In the case where the welding bead 7b of the S-shaped shape shown, welding bead overall length is on the track of the laser beam 3 on the surface of the steel plate 4 of upside from weldering
Road beginning to welding bead terminal length.
In this way, by meeting formula (1), that is, welding is made to terminate welding (the final period welding S of neighbouring particular rangef) swash
Light output PfRelative to welding before this, (initial stage welds SiAnd formally weld S) laser output P be specific range in
Value, is able to suppress the generation of the rupture of welding bead terminal side.Here, utilizing final welding SfIt is being formed, from away from welding bead beginning X be
4/5 position of welding bead overall length is nearby to the terminal Y of welding bead, that is, as 1/5 position from welding bead terminal Y to welding bead overall length
1/5 near sites of welding bead terminal welding bead 7 on be easy to be concentrated with the rupture due to generating there are gap A, but due to right
It is welded using the condition for meeting above-mentioned formula (1) at the position that the rupture is easy to produce, it is thus possible to inhibit the generation of rupture.It needs
It is noted that in the case that the welding sequence for meeting above-mentioned formula (1) is short near away from 1/5 of welding bead terminal Y than welding bead overall length,
The effect of the generation of rupture is inhibited to reduce compared with the present invention, moreover, can generate weld width broadens or generate rupture in this way
Unfavorable condition.On the other hand, in the case where long near away from 1/5 of welding bead terminal Y than welding bead overall length, weld width can be generated
Constriction and strength of welded joint reduce such unfavorable condition.
In addition, when meeting formula (1), the generation of rupture can be inhibited, therefore become that peel strength is high and safety is excellent
Laser weld joint.
In addition, weld width can be made uniform by being welded with above-mentioned condition.For example, will be from welding bead beginning X to weldering
The position of the 1/5 of road overall length, that is, 1/5 near sites of welding bead beginning are welded with from welding bead terminal Y to 1/5 position of welding bead overall length
Be set as welding bead main body B between 1/5 near sites of road terminal, the weld width of welding bead main body B be set as W, will from welding bead terminal Y to
1/10 position of welding bead overall length is set as 1/10 position B of welding bead terminalf, by 1/10 position B of welding bead terminalfThe weld width at place is set
For Wf, at this point, can satisfy following formula (3).It should be noted that welding bead main body B is the welding bead formed using formal welding S,
It carries out stable welding and is formed, therefore rupture will not be generated and weld width W is uniform.
In addition, as described above, from welding bead beginning X to the 1/5 of welding bead overall length position, that is, 1/5 near sites of welding bead beginning
In the range of being 1/5 position i.e. the 3/40 of 1/5 position of welding bead beginning ± welding bead overall length from welding bead beginning X to welding bead overall length,
That is, from welding bead beginning X to 5/40 position of welding bead overall length~from welding bead beginning X to the model of 11/40 position of welding bead overall length
In enclosing.Moreover, position, that is, 1/5 near sites of welding bead terminal from welding bead terminal Y to the 1/5 of welding bead overall length are from welding bead terminal Y
To 1/5 position of welding bead overall length, that is, 1/5 position of welding bead terminal ± welding bead overall length 3/40, that is, from welding bead terminal Y
To 5/40 position of welding bead overall length~in the range of from welding bead terminal Y to 11/40 position of welding bead overall length.
0.80≤Wf/W≤1.20 (3)
