- a laser welding method characterized in that (Gap/DEPO) is 0.3 to 0.8.” is disclosed.
- the present invention has been developed in view of the above-mentioned current situation, and suppresses the occurrence of breakage of the coil joint in the production line due to deterioration of the mechanical properties and shape of the coil joint under high construction efficiency. It is an object of the present invention to provide a friction stir welding method for electromagnetic steel strips. Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing an electromagnetic steel strip using the friction stir welding method for an electromagnetic steel strip. A further object of the present invention is to provide a friction stir welding apparatus that can be suitably used in the above friction stir welding method for electromagnetic steel strips. In addition, it is an object of the present invention to provide an electrical steel sheet manufacturing apparatus having the friction stir welding apparatus described above.
- the inventors have made extensive studies to achieve the above objectives. First, the inventors investigated and examined the reasons why the mechanical properties and shape of the coil joint deteriorate when laser welding is applied to the coil joint of the electromagnetic steel strip, and obtained the following findings. rice field.
- the chemical composition of the electrical steel sheet contains a large amount of Si, for example, about 2.0 to 5.0% by mass.
- Si is a ferrite stabilizing element. Therefore, when general laser welding is applied to coil joining of electromagnetic steel strips, the ferrite crystal grains of the coil joint portion, which is the fusion zone, and further the ferrite crystal grains of the heat affected zone are coarsened. As a result, the mechanical properties of the coil joints, particularly the toughness and bending strength, are significantly degraded, leading to breakage of the coil joints in the production line.
- the martensite phase which is a hard and brittle structure, is formed at the coil joint. This significantly degrades the mechanical properties of the coil joint, especially the toughness. Further, in the heat affected zone, the coarsening of ferrite crystal grains significantly deteriorates the mechanical properties of the coil joint. For these reasons, breakage of coil joints occurs in the production line.
- the variation in the butt gap between the preceding steel strip and the following steel strip affects the height of the weld reinforcement.
- the welding portion has an excessively convex shape due to the height of the weld reinforcement, stress is concentrated on the weld toe when a load is applied to the welding portion. Therefore, the variation in the abutment gap between the leading steel strip and the trailing steel strip described above also causes breakage of the coil joints in the production line.
- the surplus of the welded portion can be removed by grinding or the like. However, such an increase in the number of steps causes a drastic decrease in productivity.
- the friction stir welding is solid phase welding utilizing frictional heat between a rotary tool and the material to be welded and plastic flow of the material to be welded. That is, the unwelded portion (to-be-welded region) of the material to be welded is friction-stirred by a rotating tool. When the unjoined portion of the material to be joined is heated by frictional heat, plastic flow starts. Then, the interface between the plastic flow region and the base material portion is greatly elongated. As a result, clean interfaces free of oxide come into contact with each other, and a joint is formed without melting the materials to be joined.
- the welded portion is a region that is subjected to hot working due to frictional heat and plastic flow between the rotary tool and the material to be welded and becomes a recrystallized structure, and is sometimes called an agitated portion.
- the thermal processing affected zone In the region adjacent to the joint, although it is affected by hot working due to frictional heat and plastic flow, there is formed a region where the temperature and working are insufficient and the structure does not lead to recrystallization. This area is called the thermal processing affected zone.
- the materials to be joined also have areas that are not affected by hot working due to frictional heat and plastic flow. This region is called a base material portion. Techniques related to friction stir welding are disclosed, for example, in Patent Documents 4 to 13 and Non-Patent Document 1, but none of these are applicable to coil joining of electromagnetic steel strips.
- the inventors have made various studies and obtained the following findings.
- (d) In order to advantageously solve the above problems (a) to (c), the materials to be welded are preheated and a so-called double-sided friction stir welding is applied as the welding method.
- the steel structures of the joint and the heat-affected zone formed by joining each become a structure mainly composed of ferrite phase, and the steel structures of the joint and the heat-affected zone are refined and joined. It is important to perform the joining by selecting conditions that reduce the difference in hardness between the part and the base material part. Specifically, it is important to select conditions that simultaneously satisfy the following equations (1) to (4) for joining.

が開示されている。
また、本発明は、上記の電磁鋼帯の摩擦攪拌接合方法を用いた電磁鋼帯の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
さらに、本発明は、上記の電磁鋼帯の摩擦攪拌接合方法に好適に用いることができる擦撹拌接合装置を提供することを目的とする。
加えて、本発明は、上記の摩擦攪拌接合装置を有する電磁鋼板の製造装置を提供することを目的とする。
ここで、摩擦攪拌接合とは、回転ツールと被接合材との摩擦熱、および、被接合材の塑性流動を利用した固相接合である。すなわち、回転ツールにより被接合材の未接合部(接合予定領域)を摩擦攪拌する。被接合材の未接合部が摩擦熱により加熱されると、塑性流動が開始する。そして、塑性流動域と母材部との界面が大きく伸長される。これにより、酸化物の無い清浄な界面同士が接触し、被接合材が溶融することなく接合部が形成される。ここで、接合部は、回転ツールと被接合材との摩擦熱と塑性流動による熱間加工を受け再結晶組織となる領域であり、撹拌部と呼ばれる場合もある。また、接合部に隣接する領域には、摩擦熱と塑性流動による熱間加工の影響を受けるものの、温度や加工が不十分で再結晶に至らない組織となる領域が形成される。この領域を熱加工影響部という。さらに、被接合材には、摩擦熱と塑性流動による熱間加工の影響を受けない領域も存在する。この領域を母材部という。なお、摩擦攪拌接合に関する技術が、例えば、特許文献4~13および非特許文献1に開示されているが、これらはいずれも、電磁鋼帯のコイル接合に適用するものではない。
(d)上記(a)~(c)の問題を有利に解決するには、被接合材に予熱処理を行うとともに、接合方式としていわゆる両面摩擦攪拌接合を適用する。そのうえで、接合工程では、接合により形成される接合部および熱加工影響部の鋼組織がそれぞれ、フェライト相主体の組織となり、かつ、当該接合部および熱加工影響部の鋼組織が微細化され、接合部と母材部との硬度差が低減される条件を選択して接合を行う、ことが重要である。具体的には、次式(1)~(4)の関係を同時に満足する条件を選択して接合を行う、ことが重要である。
これにより、被接合材として電磁鋼帯を用いる場合であっても、コイル接合部の形状の劣化を招くことなくコイル接合部の機械的特性が高まり、製造ラインでのコイル接合部の破断発生が有効に抑止される。また、欠陥発生を抑制しつつ接合速度を高速度化することができるので、施工能率に優れ、生産性の点でも極めて有利である。なお、以下、被接合材への予熱処理を行う両面摩擦攪拌接合を、予熱式両面摩擦攪拌接合ともいう。

突合せ接合とは、第1の電磁鋼帯と第2の電磁鋼帯の端面同士を対向させた状態で、第1の電磁鋼帯と第2の電磁鋼帯の端面(突合せ面)を含む突合せ部に回転ツールを回転させながら押圧する。そして、その状態で、回転ツールを接合方向に移動させることにより、第1の電磁鋼帯と第2の電磁鋼帯を接合するものである。
重ね接合とは、第1の電磁鋼帯と第2の電磁鋼帯の端部の少なくとも一部を重ね合せ、重ね合せ部に回転ツールを回転させながら押圧する。そして、その状態で、回転ツールを接合方向に移動させることにより、第1の電磁鋼帯と第2の電磁鋼帯を接合するものである。
被接合材を把持する、把持装置(図示せず)と、
互いに対向する一対の回転ツールと、
前記回転ツールの駆動装置と、
前記被接合材の少なくとも一方の面において前記回転ツールの接合方向の前方に配置される、加熱装置と、
前記把持装置、前記回転ツールの駆動装置および前記加熱装置の動作制御装置と、をそなえる摩擦撹拌接合装置を用いる。
動作制御装置では、例えば、回転ツールの傾斜角度α、回転ツールの先端部の位置および先端部(プローブ)同士の間の距離g(以下、プローブ間の隙間gともいう)、回転ツールの肩部間の隙間G、接合速度(および回転ツールに連動して移動する加熱装置の接合方向への移動速度)、押込み荷重、回転ツールの回転数、回転トルク、ならびに、加熱装置の出力等を制御する。
予熱工程では、加熱装置を、被接合材の少なくとも一方の面において回転ツールの接合進行方向の前方に配置し、被接合材の未接合部を加熱装置により予熱する。なお、加熱装置を回転ツールに連動させて接合方向に移動させることにより、予熱工程と後述する接合工程とを連続して行うことができる。また、被接合材を予熱することで未接合部の軟化が容易になり、回転ツールでの撹拌が促進される。その結果、製造ラインでのコイル接合部の破断発生および欠陥発生を有効に抑止しつつ接合速度を高速度化することができ、高い施工能率を実現することが可能となる。
100 ≦ TPW=0.2D ≦ 1000 ・・・(12)
50 ≦ TPW=0.5D ≦ 800 ・・・(13)
予熱式両面摩擦攪拌接合では、予熱による被接合材への入熱と、被接合材と回転ツールの摩擦熱とにより、被接合材を軟化させ、回転ツールでの撹拌を促進することが重要である。そのためには、図1Cに示す予熱領域I(被接合材の表面における0 ≦ W ≦ 0.1×Dの領域)および予熱領域H(被接合材の表面における0.1×D < W ≦ 0.5×D)の予熱温度、特にこれらの加熱領域の代表位置であるW=0、0.2×Dおよび0.5×Dの位置における被接合材の予熱温度を適切に制御することが効果的である。このような観点から、被接合材の予熱温度を上掲式(11)~(13)の関係を満足するように制御することが好適である。ここで、Wは被溶接材の接合中央線から接合垂直方向に離間する距離(mm)であり、TPW=0、TPW=0.2DおよびTPW=0.5Dはそれぞれ、W=0、0.2×Dおよび0.5×Dの位置における被接合材の表面での予熱温度(℃)である。また、Dは、回転ツールの肩部の直径D(mm)である。なお、予熱領域は、加熱装置により予熱される被接合材の表面領域である。
TPW=0.5D/TPW=0 ≦ 0.45 ・・・(15)
また、予熱工程では、被接合材の予熱温度について、上掲式(11)~(13)の関係を満足させたうえで、さらに、上掲式(14)および(15)の関係を満足させることがより好ましい。すなわち、予熱による塑性流動促進効果を得るためには、被接合材の予熱温度を高めることが有効である。しかし、被接合材の予熱温度を過度に高めると、予熱領域の周辺においてミクロ組織の変質が生じる場合がある。そのため、接合中央線近傍の予熱領域Iでは予熱温度を高める一方、接合中央線から離れた予熱領域Hでは予熱温度を抑制することがより有効である。特に、予熱領域Iおよび予熱領域Hの代表位置であるW=0、0.2×Dおよび0.5×Dの位置における被接合材の予熱温度について、TPW=0に対するTPW=0.2Dの比であるTPW=0.2D/TPW=0を0.70~1.00の範囲とし、かつ、TPW=0に対するTPW=0.5Dの比であるTPW=0.5D/TPW=0を0.45以下に制御することが効果的である。そのため、予熱工程では、被接合材の予熱温度について上掲式(14)および(15)の関係を満足させることがより好ましい。
上記の予熱工程において、被接合材の未接合部を予熱したのち、被接合材の未接合部に、回転ツールを両面から互いに逆方向に回転させながら押圧する。そして、その状態で回転ツールを接合方向に移動させることにより、被接合材である第1の電磁鋼帯と第2の電磁鋼帯とを接合する。

・前述した予熱工程を行う。

0°< α ≦ 2° ・・・(9)
ここで、αは、接合方向と板厚方向(被接合材の表面に対して垂直な方向)とを含む面における、回転ツールの回転軸(以下、ツールの回転軸ともいう)の板厚方向(被接合材の表面に対して垂直な方向)からの傾斜角度である。なお、回転ツールの先端部が接合方向に対して先行する向き(の角度)を+とする。
0.5×TJ-0.1×D×sinα ≦ G ≦ 0.9×TJ-0.1×D×sinα ・・・(10)
例えば、回転ツールの回転数は、好ましくは200~6000r/min(回/分)である。回転ツールの回転数を当該範囲内とすることにより、表面形状を良好に保ちつつ課題な熱量の投入による機械特性の低下を抑制できるので、有利である。回転ツールの回転数は、より好ましくは300r/min以上である。また、回転ツールの回転数は、より好ましくは5000r/min以下である。
接合速度は、好ましくは1000~10000mm/min(mm/分)である。接合速度は、より好ましくは2000mm/min以上、さらに好ましくは3500mm/min以上、よりさらに好ましくは4000mm/min以上、よりさらに好ましくは5000mm/min以上である。
回転ツールの先端部の位置や押込み荷重、回転トルク、プローブ間の隙間などは、常法に従い、適宜、設定すればよい。
例えば、回転ツールの先端部は、接合時に被接合材である第1の電磁鋼帯および第2の電磁鋼帯と接触する。そのため、回転ツールの先端部は、接合時に晒される高温状態において、第1の電磁鋼帯および第2の電磁鋼帯よりも硬い材質で形成される。これにより、接合時に回転ツールは、先端部の形状を保持したまま、第1の電磁鋼帯および第2の電磁鋼帯に変形を加えることができる。その結果、高い撹拌能を持続的に実現することができ、適正な接合が可能となる。なお、回転ツールの先端部、第1の電磁鋼帯および第2の電磁鋼帯の硬さは、高温ビッカース硬さ試験方法により測定して、比較すればよい。なお、回転ツールの先端部のみを、第1の電磁鋼帯および第2の電磁鋼帯よりも硬い材質で形成してもよい。また、回転ツール全体を、第1の電磁鋼帯および第2の電磁鋼帯よりも硬い材質で形成してもよい。
図2Aに示す回転ツールの例では、回転ツールの形状は、肩径D:13mm、ピン径:4mm、ピン長さ:0.6mm、凹面深さ(図示せず):0.3mmである。
図2Bに示す回転ツールの例では、回転ツールの形状は、肩径D:20mm、ピン径:6.7mm、ピン長さ:0.9mm、凹面深さ(図示せず):0.3mmである。
次に、電磁鋼帯の接合継手を、図3を用いて説明する。図中、符号1が第1の電磁鋼帯(被接合材)、2が第2の電磁鋼帯(被接合材)、4が接合部、4-1が熱加工影響部(第1の電磁鋼帯側)、4-2が熱加工影響部(第2の電磁鋼帯側)である。なお、図3は、電磁鋼帯の接合継手の板厚方向の断面図である。図中、鉛直方向が板厚方向である。水平方向が、接合垂直方向である。紙面手前側の方向が、接合方向である。すなわち、図3に示す面(ここでいう板厚方向の断面)内には、接合垂直方向と板厚方向とが含まれる。

また、上記の電磁鋼帯の接合継手は、例えば、上述した本発明の一実施形態に従う電磁鋼帯の摩擦撹拌接合方法により得る(製造する)ことができる。
第1の電磁鋼帯および第2の電磁鋼帯は、被接合材である電磁鋼帯である。第1の電磁鋼帯および第2の電磁鋼帯の成分組成は、冷間圧延段階の電磁鋼帯(電磁鋼板)として一般的なものであれば特に限定されない。
