Abstract

Disclosed is a welded member for plated steel plate having excellent weld zone porosity resistance and fatigue properties and a method of manufacturing the same. The welded member for plated steel plate having excellent weld zone porosity resistance and fatigue properties according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises a weld metal portion formed by arc welding and overlapping a first member and a laminated second member so as to partially overlap the first member, wherein the toe angle (θ) of the weld metal portion is 45° or less, and the first member and the second member are plated steel plates.

Claims (29)

1. A weld joint between plated steel plates having weld zone porosity resistance and fatigue properties comprising:

a weld joint bead formed by arc welding and overlapping a first member and a laminated second member so as to partially overlap the first member,

wherein a toe angle (θ) of the weld joint bead is 45° or less, and the first member and the second member are plated steel plates,

wherein a pore area ratio of the weld joint bead is less than 0.5%,

wherein the fatigue strength of the weld joint bead is 250 MPa or more, and the fatigue life is 2,000,000 cycles or more with a cyclic fatigue load of 10 kN (minimum/maximum load ratio, R=0.1),

wherein penetration depth of the weld joint bead is 40% or more compared to the thickness of the second member,

the weld joint bead formed by an arc welding process in which a welding current is a pulse current repeated with a first peak and a second peak as one pulse period, wherein:

a welding molten metal stirring wave frequency defined by the formula 1/(T H +T L ) is 20 to 30 Hz,

wherein T H is a period of the first peak, and T L is a period of the second peak,

wherein a welding current is in the range of 200 to 300 A, and

wherein a welding speed is: 0.6 to 1.0 m/min.

2. The weld joint between plated steel plates according to claim 1 , wherein the plated steel plates are Zn—Mg—Al alloy plated or galvanized hot-rolled steel plates.

3. The weld joint between plated steel plates according to claim 2 , wherein the hot-rolled steel plates have a tensile strength of 590 MPa or more and a thickness of 6 mm or less.

4. The weld joint between plated steel plates according to claim 3 , wherein the hot-rolled steel plates are 590FB steel.

5. The weld joint between plated steel plates according to claim 1 , wherein the weld joint bead is formed by an arc welding process in which solid wire is fed into a shielding gas which is Ar gas containing 10 to 30% of CO 2 gas.

6. A weld joint between plated steel plates having weld zone porosity resistance and fatigue properties comprising:

a weld metal portion formed by arc welding and overlapping a first member and a laminated second member so as to partially overlap the first member,

wherein a toe angle (θ) of the weld joint bead is 45° or less, and the first member and the second member are plated steel plates,

wherein a pore area ratio of the weld joint bead is less than 0.5%,

wherein the fatigue strength of the weld joint bead is 250 MPa or more, and the fatigue life is 2,000,000 cycles or more with a cyclic fatigue load of 10 kN (minimum/maximum load ratio, R=0.1),

wherein penetration depth of the weld joint bead is 45% or more compared to the thickness of the second member, and

the weld joint bead formed by an arc welding process in which a welding current is a pulse current repeated with a first peak and a second peak as one pulse period, wherein:

a welding molten metal stirring wave frequency defined by the formula 1/(T H +T L ) is 20 to 30 Hz,

wherein T H is a period of the first peak, and T L is a period of the second peak,

wherein a welding current is in the range of 200 to 300 A, and

wherein a welding speed is: 0.6 to 1.0 m/min, and

wherein a solid wire is fed into a shielding gas which is Ar gas containing 10 to 30% of CO 2 gas in forming the weld joint bead formed by arc welding.

7. The weld joint between plated steel plates according to claim 6 , wherein the plated steel plates are Zn—Mg—Al alloy plated or galvanized hot-rolled steel plates.

8. The weld joint between plated steel plates according to claim 7 , wherein the hot-rolled steel plates have a tensile strength of 590 MPa or more and a thickness of 6 mm or less.
