Abstract

The present invention provides a consumable electrode type gas shield arc welding method for performing arc welding of two steel sheets using a welding torch having a consumable electrode. The consumable electrode type gas shield arc welding method includes performing arc welding while a shielding gas having an oxygen potential α which is indicated by the following Expression (1) and ranges from 1.5% to 5% is supplied from the welding torch toward the consumable electrode, and blowing an oxidation promotion gas having an oxygen potential β which is indicated by the following Expression (2) and ranges from 15% to 50% at a flow velocity ranging from 1 to 3 m/sec over a weld bead and a weld toe portion which are formed by arc welding and are in a state of 700° C. or higher, α=100×([ V 1 (O 2 )]+[ V 1 (CO 2 )]/5)/([ V 1 ( X )]+[ V 1 (O 2 )]+[ V 1 (CO 2 )])  Expression (1) β=100×[ V 2 (O 2 )]/([ V 2 ( X )]+[ V 2 (O 2 )]+[ V 2 (CO 2 )])  Expression (2) here, [V 1 (X)] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of an inert gas included in the shielding gas, [V 1 (O 2 )] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of oxygen included in the shielding gas, [V 1 (CO 2 )] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of carbon dioxide included in the shielding gas, [V 2 (X)] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of an inert gas included in the oxidation promotion gas, [V 2 (O 2 )] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of oxygen included in the oxidation promotion gas, and [V 2 (CO 2 )] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of carbon dioxide included in the oxidation promotion gas.

Claims (18)

1. A consumable electrode type gas shield arc welding method for performing arc welding of two steel sheets using a welding torch having a consumable electrode, the method comprising:

performing arc welding while a shielding gas having an oxygen potential α which is indicated by the following Expression (1) and ranges from 1.5% to 5% is supplied from the welding torch toward the consumable electrode; and

blowing an oxidation promotion gas having an oxygen potential β which is indicated by the following Expression (2) and ranges from 15% to 50% at a flow velocity ranging from 1 to 3 m/sec over a weld bead and a weld toe portion which are formed by arc welding and are in a state of 700° C. or higher,

α=100×([ V 1 (O 2 )]+[ V 1 (CO 2 )]/5)/([ V 1 ( X )]+[ V 1 (O 2 )]+[ V 1 (CO 2 )])  Expression (A)

β=100×[ V 2 (O 2 )]/([ V 2 ( X )]+[ V 2 (O 2 )]+[ V 2 (CO 2 )])  Expression (B)

where, [V 1 (X)] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of an inert gas included in the shielding gas, [V l (O 2 )] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of oxygen included in the shielding gas, [V 1 (CO 2 )] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of carbon dioxide included in the shielding gas, [V 2 (X)] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of an inert gas included in the oxidation promotion gas, [V 2 (O 2 )] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of oxygen included in the oxidation promotion gas, and [V 2 (CO 2 )] is a mixing ratio (volume %) of carbon dioxide included in the oxidation promotion gas.

2. The consumable electrode type gas shield arc welding method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the oxidation promotion gas is blown via a space formed between the welding torch and an outer circumferential wall which is provided to be separated outward from an outer circumferential surface of the welding torch.

3. The consumable electrode type gas shield arc welding method according to claim 1 ,

wherein in a state where at least an upper region of a part of the weld bead or the weld toe portion in a state of 700° C. or higher is surrounded, the oxidation promotion gas is blown within the upper region.

4. The consumable electrode type gas shield arc welding method according to claim 1 ,

wherein a shortest separation distance in a horizontal direction between a portion over which the oxidation promotion gas is blown and a tip position of the consumable electrode in the weld bead and the weld toe portion is 35 mm or shorter.

5. The consumable electrode type gas shield arc welding method according to claim 2 ,

wherein in a state where at least an upper region of a part of the weld bead or the weld toe portion in a state of 700° C. or higher is surrounded, the oxidation promotion gas is blown within the upper region.

6. The consumable electrode type gas shield arc welding method according to claim 2 ,

wherein a shortest separation distance in a horizontal direction between a portion over which the oxidation promotion gas is blown and a tip position of the consumable electrode in the weld bead and the weld toe portion is 35 mm or shorter.

7. The consumable electrode type gas shield arc welding method according to claim 3 ,

wherein a shortest separation distance in a horizontal direction between a portion over which the oxidation promotion gas is blown and a tip position of the consumable electrode in the weld bead and the weld toe portion is 35 mm or shorter.
