Fillet welded joint and method of production of same
View Patent ↗The present invention provides a fillet welded joint and a method of production of a fillet welded joint which can raise the productivity of the method of production of a fillet welded joint and a fillet welded joint without sacrificing the strength against fatigue fracture of the welded structural member. The fillet welded joint of the present invention is a fillet welded joint formed by fillet welding at least two metal members, wherein, on the surface of at least one of the metal members, the fillet welded joint comprises a press bead of a rib-shaped projection provided by press-forming so as to project upward to the side having a weld bead formed by the fillet welding, and part of the press bead contacts or overlaps the weld bead.
1. A fillet welded joint formed by fillet welding at least two metal members, wherein
on the surface of at least one of the metal members, the fillet welded joint comprises a press bead of a rib-shaped projection provided by press-forming so as to project upward to a side having a weld bead formed by the fillet welding, wherein
part of the press bead contacts or overlaps the weld bead, and wherein
a longitudinal direction of the press bead is 45° to 135° with respect to a direction of a weld toe line of the weld bead.
2. The fillet welded joint according to claim 1 , wherein the press bead has a toe radius Ra (mm) which is equal to or longer than a thickness “t” (mm) of the metal member having the press bead.
3. The fillet welded joint according to claim 1 , wherein the press bead satisfies
La≥ 2 W,
Ha≥t , and
Wa≥W
where “La” expresses a length in a longitudinal direction of the press bead, “Ha” expresses a height of the press bead, “Wa” expresses a width of the press bead, “W” expresses a width of the weld bead, and “t” expresses a thickness of the metal member having the press bead.
4. The fillet welded joint according to claim 1 , wherein the press bead crosses the weld bead.
5. The fillet welded joint according to claim 1 , wherein the press bead overlaps the weld bead at a part where a previously established maximum main stress is caused.
6. The fillet welded joint according to claim 1 , wherein the metal member welded with the metal member at which the press bead is formed comprises a notched part fitting in the press bead at the location where the press bead is welded.
7. The fillet welded joint according to claim 1 , wherein
at least one of the metal members has a cross-sectional shape comprising a folded corner part which is fillet welded to the other metal member, and wherein
the press bead is superposed at the corner part of the weld bead.
8. A method for producing a fillet welded joint by fillet welding at least two metal members,
the method comprising press forming on the surface of at least one of the metal members a press bead of a rib-shaped projection so as to project upward to a side having a weld bead formed by the fillet welding and
fillet welding the metal members so that a part of the press bead contacts or is superposed with the weld bead.
9. The method for producing a fillet welded joint according to claim 8 , further comprising forming a longitudinal direction of the press bead to be 45° to 135° with respect to a direction of a weld toe line of the weld bead.
10. The method for producing a fillet welded joint according to claim 8 , further comprising forming the press bead having a toe radius Ra (mm) which is equal to or more than a thickness “t” (mm) of the metal member having the press bead.
11. The method for producing a fillet welded joint according to claim 8 , wherein the press bead satisfies
La≥ 2 W,
Ha≥t , and
Wa≥W
where “La” expresses a length in a longitudinal direction of the press bead, “Ha” expresses a height of the press bead, “Wa” expresses a width of the press bead, “W” expresses a width of the weld bead, and “t” expresses a thickness of the metal member having the press bead.
12. The method for producing a fillet welded joint according to claim 8 , further comprising forming the press bead to cross the weld bead.
13. The method for producing a fillet welded joint according to claim 8 , further comprising forming the press bead to contact or overlap the weld bead at a part where a previously established maximum main stress is caused.
14. The method for producing a fillet welded joint according to claim 8 , further comprising forming a notched part, the notched part being fit into in the press bead at the location welded with the press bead in the metal member welded with the metal member at which the press bead is formed.
15. The method for producing a fillet welded joint according to claim 8 , wherein
at least one of the metal members has a cross-sectional shape comprising a folded corner part, and wherein
the method comprises fillet welding the folded corner part to the other metal member and forming the press bead in advance at the other metal member so that the press bead is superposed at the corner part of the weld bead.
