For example, WO.

Steel billets on the hot rolling line are 900 to 120.
Since the temperature is as high as 0 ° C, scale is generated on the surface of the steel slab. For example, when joining the steel pieces after trimming the ends by a running shear to adjust the shape of the butt portion, the time required from shear cutting to rolling joining is about 30 to 60 seconds. In the case of the hot-rolled steel slab as the main component shown in Table 1, the scale that is generated is mainly chromium oxide, manganese oxide, silicon oxide, etc., and the thickness of the scale layer that is generated during the above required time is 30 to 40 μm.

In pressure welding, clean metal surfaces are brought into intimate contact with each other to be joined. However, if there is a scale on the joining surface, the pressure welding cannot be performed sufficiently and the joining strength is lowered. For this reason, conventionally, at least one of the front end portion and the rear end portion of the steel piece that is the joint surface is sprayed with water or iron powder to perform descaling,
The scale of the steel slab joint was removed and tack welding and pressure welding were performed. Therefore, a descaling process is added to the rolling line, the line speed is reduced, and the productivity is also reduced. Further, the temperature drop at the front end portion and the rear end portion of the billet is larger than that at other portions. As a result, there is a problem that the deformation resistance of the front end portion and the rear end portion of the steel slab becomes larger than that of the other portions, and the joint strength and the plate thickness accuracy of the rolled product decrease.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication (Kokai) No. 62-127185 discloses a method for solving the above-mentioned problem by heating the butt portion of the steel piece with oxygen gas and pressing the preceding steel piece and the following steel piece to perform pressure bonding. It is disclosed. However, in this method, the clamper that applies a pressing force to the steel piece scratches the surface of the steel piece,
There is a drawback in that burrs are generated in the bonding and pressing portion, which leads to product defects. WO. The method described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 94-16838,
The problems associated with pressing and crimping these steel pieces have been solved. However, descaling is necessary, and the problem of reduction in joint strength and plate thickness accuracy associated with the addition of a descaling step before joining steel slabs has not been solved.

In the method of joining the preceding steel piece and the following steel piece by pressure welding, the butt portion is laser-welded with a power density of 5 × 10 6 to 1 × 10 8 W / cm 2 .

The hot-rolled steel pieces to be joined in the present invention are sheet bars or slabs having a thickness of 20 to 50 mm and a temperature of 900 to 1200 ° C. After the shapes of the trailing end portion of the preceding steel piece and the leading end portion of the following steel piece are adjusted by a running shear or a laser cutting device, the two steel pieces may be butted and laser welded.

For laser welding, for example, an output of 25 to 50 kW
Continuous wave CO 2 laser oscillator is used. Alternatively, the laser beam irradiation position may be scanned along the abutting portion of the steel piece traveling on the rolling line while following the groove. In this case, the scanning speed of the laser beam is about 3 to 20 m / min as in the conventional laser welding.

The power density of the laser beam is 5 × 10 6 W /
If it is less than cm 2 , the surface of the billet does not evaporate sufficiently and the scale layer cannot be removed. Therefore, the lower limit of the power density is 5 × 10 5.
It was set to 6 W / cm 2 . Further, in order to obtain a power density exceeding 1 × 10 8 W / cm 2 , the beam spot diameter on the surface of the billet must be considerably reduced. For example, even if a high-power laser oscillator such as a continuous-wave CO 2 laser oscillator with an output of 45 kW is used, the beam spot diameter must be 0.25 mm or less, and the melting width becomes narrower accordingly. The problem of misalignment from the one-sided joint cannot be ignored. Therefore, the upper limit of the power density is set to 1 × 10 8 W / cm 2 .

When steel pieces are joined in the conventional process, a scale layer of 10 to 50 μm is generated on the cut surface between shear cutting and pressure welding. However, since the power density of the laser beam is as high as 5 × 10 6 to 1 × 10 8 W / cm 2 in the present invention, a keyhole with a diameter of 0.7 mm and a depth of about 10 mm is formed in the irradiated portion, Corresponding portions of metal and intervening impurities evaporate. Particularly, in the present invention, the laser beam is focused and irradiated on the abutting portion of the steel slab, but the abutting portion of the steel slab usually has a gap of 0.1 to 0.5 mm. Since the laser beam is applied to the steel piece abutting surface in this gap, the surface of the abutting surface is 0.0 in the thickness direction of the steel piece from the laser beam irradiation side.
Evaporate about 0.1-0.3 mm from the surface over ~ 15 mm. As a result, the scale layer existing in this range is also evaporated and removed. Therefore, it is not necessary to perform descaling before tack welding.

Then, the rear end surface of the preceding sheet bar 1 and the front end surface of the following sheet bar 3 are butted, and the butted portion 5 is temporarily welded 7 along the butted portion 5 by laser welding. The time required from the joining surface formation by the running shear 11 to the start of the tack welding 7 is 20 seconds. The laser oscillator 13 is a continuous wave CO
It is a two- laser oscillator with a steady output of 45 kW. Although the laser oscillator 13 is fixed, the welding head 15 moves in synchronization with the sheet bars 1 and 3, and scans the butting portion 5 while scanning. Laser beam scanning speed is 10 m / min
Therefore, the time required for the tack welding 7 of the butt portion 5 is about 6 seconds. The laser beam is transmitted from the laser oscillator 13 to the welding head 15 that moves via the laser beam transmission optical system 14. The welding head 15 focuses the transmitted laser beam on the upper surface of the abutting portion 5 so that the spot diameter becomes 0.7 mm. The power density at the beam spot is
It is about 1 × 10 7 kW / cm 2 . Following tack welding,
Both sheet bars 1 and 3 are continuously rolled by the rolling mill train 17 to join the sheet bars 1 and 3.

In this embodiment, the temperature of the sheet bars 1 and 3 when reaching the rolling mill train 17 is 1000 ° C., and the rolling mill train 17 is started from the time when the joining surface is formed by the running shear 11.
The temperature drop until the start of rolling was about 100 ° C. There was no decrease in joint strength and plate thickness accuracy due to the temperature drop of the sheet bar.
