2. Description of the Related Art Generally, in this type of welding, a so-called single-sided welding method is employed, in which welding is performed only from the surface side of a member to be welded, such as a panel, in order to rationalize construction and rationalize the production of a structure. You. However, in the case of such single-sided welding, the angular deformation is larger than in the case of balance welding from both the front and back sides. Therefore, when trying to obtain a structure with good dimensional accuracy by single-sided welding that is effective for streamlining construction, how can the amount of angular deformation that occurs with welding be reduced and controlled within an allowable range? Is the key technology point.

[0003] By the way, the following methods are known as conventional methods for suppressing welding angle deformation. One of them is
As shown in FIG. 16, a jig 20 such as a strong bag is used to
This is a method of restraining angular deformation and reducing it by increasing the bending stiffness of itself. In other words, this is a method of generating a bending moment in the opposite direction in the welded portion according to the angular deformation. In this jig constraint method, instead of a jig such as a strong back, as shown in FIG.
An external load is applied through a weight 22 or the like to
There is also a method in which a backing metal 23 is placed on the lower surface of the device to restrain it. The other one is called an inverse distortion method, and is shown in FIG.
As shown in (A), the amount of angular deformation predicted before welding is anticipated, the reverse strain θ corresponding thereto is given to the member 21 to be welded, and after welding, the angle is changed as shown in FIG. This is a method of offsetting the deformation amount to obtain a state, or performing a bending process in advance to reduce the final angular deformation amount (see, for example, JP-A-59-54466). As another one, there is a method called an inverse distortion constraint method in which the jig constraint method and the inverse distortion method are combined. This inverse distortion constraint method is shown in FIG.
As shown in FIG. 9, a method and a jig for restraining the member to be welded 21 with a jig 26 provided with a holding metal 24 and a receiving plate 25 for reverse distortion in a state where the member to be welded 21 is reversely strained. Instead of applying an external load.

Among the conventional welding angle deformation suppressing methods described above, the jig constraint method requires a large number of large and powerful jigs to reduce the angular deformation. In addition, there is a problem that a great deal of labor is required for disassembly and disassembly, and further, a deformation corresponding to the elastically accumulated energy due to the release of the restraint of the jig, that is, a springback, causes further angular deformation. In the case of the inverse strain method, it is difficult to predict the amount of angular deformation and is set empirically, so that the shape and material of the member to be welded,
If the dimensions such as thickness are different, the setting value must be changed by trial and error each time, but the effect of suppressing angular deformation tends to vary, and depending on the shape of the member, reverse distortion may be applied. There is a problem that it may be difficult. Furthermore, in the case of the combination of the jig constraint method and the inverse distortion method, all of the problems of the above-described methods are involved, and particularly, both the constraint force and the inverse distortion must be set empirically. The degree of variation in the effect of suppressing the angular deformation tends to be further increased.

Hereinafter, an effect confirmation test performed by the present inventors will be described. (1) Test conditions: Test number Test item Restraint test condition No. No. 1 free deformation investigation No constraint (free deformation) No.2 Investigation of angular deformation restraint load Full deformation of angular deformation (load cell) No. 3 Investigation of the effect of the load applied to the welded part. 4 Investigation of simultaneous heating effect on backside of welded part Temperature uniformization by backside heating (2) Specimen size and welding conditions: Specimen size Plate thickness: 40 mm, welding length: 1000 mm, specimen width; U groove for single-sided welding Material: Aluminum alloy A5083 Welding method MIG welding (3) Measures to prevent welding angle deformation: Contents: As shown in FIGS.
A girder-shaped outer holding jig 20 is disposed in contact with the left and right sides of the welding line L, and a welding machine 3A that travels and moves along the rail 4A is disposed at the center of the outer holding jig 20. On the other hand, as the jig for preventing angular deformation, a number of hydraulic cylinders 13A are arranged in a row along the welding line L inside the test body 1A, and these hydraulic cylinders 13A are moved as the welding point is moved by the welding machine 3A. By sequentially performing the switching operation, a load was locally applied from the back surface of the test body 1A. In addition, a test was conducted in which a rail was also arranged inside instead of the hydraulic cylinder, a MIG torch was attached to the traveling cart, and heating was performed from the back. (4) Test results: FIG. 1 shows the relationship between the number of welding passes and the amount of angular deformation when aluminum welding is performed in a free deformation state. As is clear from the figure, when the number of passes is 1, almost no deformation is observed. However, as the number of passes increases from 2 to 7, the amount of deformation increases. FIG. 10 shows the temporal change after the start of welding of the angular deformation at the start point and the end point of the 4th pass and the 6th pass in the case of FIG. 9 described above. It can be seen that there is almost no change in the amount of deformation. The amount of angular deformation (mm) shown by the vertical axis in FIGS. 9 and 10
Is the amount of deformation at a test piece width of 1000 mm as shown in FIG. FIG. 2 shows the relationship between the number of welding passes and the constraint load at positions 100 mm from the start point and the end point, respectively. It can be seen that the constraint load has increased for both points. Also, FIG.
Shows the temporal change of the angular deformation constraint load at the position of 100 mm from the start point and the end point of the 4th pass and the 7th pass after the start of welding, and the initial stage of the welding start in both the 4th pass and the 7th pass The load difference between the start point and the end point is large, and the start point side is about half the welding completion time
On the other hand, the end value finally reaches the final value when the start point reaches the final value, and reaches the final value when welding is completed. That is, it can be seen that the position where the constraint load increases moves as the welding position moves. FIG. 3 shows an example of the relationship between the number of welding passes and the amount of angular deformation when aluminum welding is performed by applying a local load with a hydraulic jack from the back surface. It can be seen that the amount can be suppressed. FIG. Indicated by 4,
The relationship between the number of welding passes and the amount of angular deformation when aluminum welding is performed while heating by TIG from the back surface is shown, and it can be seen that the amount of angular deformation can be suppressed even by heating the back surface. FIG. 15 shows the welding deformation of each of the above-mentioned tests in comparison, and also shows the case where the welding is restrained by a jig. As is clear from the figure, it was found that the amount of angular deformation can be controlled within an allowable range by applying a local load from the back surface or heating from the back surface while following the welding point.

As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, a number of hydraulic cylinders 13A are arranged in a row along the welding line L as a countermeasure for preventing welding angle deformation in the above-mentioned effect confirmation test. Even if a load control method in which the cylinder 13A is sequentially switched as the welding point is moved by the welding machine 3A is used, the same effect as that of the above embodiment can be obtained.

As described above, according to the first and second aspects of the present invention,
According to 3 and 3, paying attention to the fact that the moment causing the welding angular deformation occurs only near the welding point, locally applying the moment opposite to the angular deformation while following the welding point. Or, because it is intended to reduce the welding angular deformation by heating locally,
Compared with the conventional jig restraint method and the reverse strain method, the welding angular deformation can be reduced by a significantly smaller load or displacement load or a small amount of heating energy. In particular, when the welding length is long, such as when welding large members, a large number of jigs or large load applying means for restraining or applying reverse strain over the entire range of the welding length, and furthermore, empirical Prediction and the like are not required, and therefore, welding with small welding angle deformation and high dimensional accuracy can be satisfactorily realized in both workability and construction efficiency.
