Using such a seam welding device, a joining device of two flat workpieces (1) and (2) to be normally joined is overlapped by a length of about 1.0 to 1.5 times the thickness of the sheet and a clamping device ( 5), fixed by (6), from the non-overlapping surface of one plate-like workpiece (1) to the other plate-like workpiece (2)
An electric current is passed through the electrodes (3) and (4) that are in contact with the respective surfaces to the non-overlapping surfaces of the electrodes, and these electrodes (3) and (4) are applied in the width direction of each of the workpieces (1) and (2). Rolling while applying pressing force to each other, the joint is crushed and welded. In this case, as described in the above-mentioned publication, in the finished state, the joint may be pre-processed so that the thickness of the joint approaches the thickness of the base material as much as possible. Is usually about twice the thickness of the base material. In such lap seam welding, when the joints are crushed by the electrodes as described above, the corners of the non-overlapping surfaces of the materials to be welded are crushed, and as shown in FIG. The overlapping surface becomes oblique. In this case, a force acts on the materials to be welded (1) and (2) so as to escape in the direction in which the overlapping margin of the joints is reduced. Therefore, as described above, the clamp device (5),
(6) is provided so as to minimize the change in the overlap margin due to the materials to be welded (1) and (2) escaping from each other.
