Abstract

The present invention provides a lap fillet arc welding joint including a first metal sheet, a second metal sheet, and a weld bead. A region of the first metal sheet on one end side is bent. In a first direction, a position of a tip end of the bent region of the first metal sheet overlaps a region of the second metal sheet on one end side. In a second direction, an amount of deviation between a central axis of a region connected to the bent region of the first metal sheet and a central axis of the region of the second metal sheet on one end side is ½ times or less of average sheet thicknesses of the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet. A joint portion length is two times or more of the sheet thickness of the second metal sheet.

Claims (32)

1. A lap fillet arc welding joint comprising:

a first metal sheet;

a second metal sheet; and

a weld bead that becomes a joint portion of the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet,

wherein a region of the first metal sheet on one end side is bent,

wherein the weld bead is located in a region including a region between the second metal sheet and the bent region of the first metal sheet, and

wherein in a cross-sectional view in a cross section perpendicular to a weld line of the weld bead,

in a first direction, a position of a tip end of the bent region of the first metal sheet overlaps a region of the second metal sheet on one end side,

in a second direction, an amount of deviation between a central axis of a region connected to the bent region of the first metal sheet and a central axis of the region of the second metal sheet on one end side is ½ times or less of the average value of sheet thicknesses of the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet,

the first direction is a direction perpendicular to a direction along the weld line of the weld bead and a sheet thickness direction of the second metal sheet, and the second direction is the sheet thickness direction of the second metal sheet,

a joint portion length, which is a length from a root portion of the second metal sheet to a weld toe portion of the first metal sheet, is two times or more of the sheet thickness of the second metal sheet,

a position of the weld toe portion of the first metal sheet in the second direction is in a range from a first position to a second position,

the first position is a position on a sheet surface of the region connected to the bent region of the first metal sheet and is a position on a sheet surface on a side where the weld bead is formed, and

the second position is a position of the central axis in the second direction in the region connected to the bent region of the first metal sheet, and

wherein in the cross-sectional view in the cross section perpendicular to the weld line of the weld bead,

a bent angle, which is an angle formed by the bent region of the first metal sheet and a sheet surface of the second metal sheet, is within a range of 10° to 35°,

the joint portion length is within a range of two to four times the sheet thickness of the second metal sheet, and

a distance between a root portion of the first metal sheet and the root portion of the second metal sheet in the second direction is equal to or smaller than the sheet thickness of the second metal sheet.

2. The lap fillet arc welding joint according to claim 1 ,

wherein a representative value of the joint portion length is two times or more of the sheet thickness of the second metal sheet.

3. The lap fillet arc welding joint according to claim 1 ,

wherein the sheet thicknesses of the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet are within a range of 1.6 mm to 3.4 mm.

4. The lap fillet arc welding joint according to claim 2 ,

wherein the sheet thicknesses of the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet are within a range of 1.6 mm to 3.4 mm.

5. The lap fillet arc welding joint according to claim 1 ,

wherein the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet is a zinc-coated steel sheet.

6. The lap fillet arc welding joint according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet is a zinc-coated steel sheet.

7. The lap fillet arc welding joint according to claim 3 ,

wherein the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet is a zinc-coated steel sheet.

8. The lap fillet arc welding joint according to claim 4 ,

wherein the first metal sheet and the second metal sheet is a zinc-coated steel sheet.
