る。(1) During friction stir welding, due to insufficient pressing between the members to be joined, an opening between the surfaces to be joined occurs due to the pushing of the stirring pin, and the opening to the line to be joined and the joining between both members occur. There may be a step between the upper surfaces of the members. a) If a large gap occurs in the lines to be joined, good joining between the members to be joined cannot be expected, so that the friction stir welding becomes impossible or difficult. b) If there is a step between the upper surfaces of both members to be bonded in the line to be bonded, uniform and full contact of the concave bottom surface of the probe with the upper surfaces of both members to be bonded cannot be expected,
Local unevenness of frictional heat generation and shortage of generated frictional heat occur, and burrs are generated to cause a shortage of filled metal, resulting in a tunnel-like joint defect. When the step is large, friction stir welding becomes impossible or difficult.

A holding jig for preventing the opening of the line to be joined and a step between the upper surfaces of the members to be joined as described above is required, but as the size of the members to be joined increases, the setting of the holding jig is required. And removal takes time and effort. If the member to be joined is large or long, a special large holding device is required, which not only increases the equipment cost, but also requires a large amount of time to set and remove the member to be joined to and from the large holding device. Labor and time are required, and the work cost also increases. In addition, the effect of the above-mentioned holding jig and holding device is not always sufficient in the case of friction stir welding that requires high butting accuracy, unlike the case of ordinary fusion welding.

良好な本接合が可能であるといえる。The experimental results shown in Table 1 will be described below. 1) When the tacking is performed by TIG welding, the width W of the tacked portion
20 mm and 15 mm, a lot of burrs are generated at the time of the actual joining by the FSW, and the width W of the temporary attachment portion is wider than the diameter D PB = 15 mm of the concave bottom surface 2 b of the actual joining probe. The tacking part has left outside.
If the width W of the tacked portion is 3 mm, the tacked portion may be broken during the main joining, possibly due to insufficient tacking strength, and the line 5 to be joined may be broken.
Opening and steps have occurred. Temporary width W
Is 11 mm and 4 mm, there is no problem at the time of the main joining, and good joint quality is obtained after the main joining. 2) When the tacking is performed by MIG welding, the width W of the tacked portion is 10 mm, as in the case of performing the TIG welding.
In the case of 5 mm, there was no problem at the time of the final joining, and the quality of the joint was good. However, when the width W of the tacked portion was 20 mm and 3 mm, the same problem as in the case of the TIG welding occurred. 3) Also in the case where the temporary attachment was performed by the FSW, a good joint portion was obtained without any problem when the width W of the temporary attachment portion was 14 mm and 10 mm. However, when the width W was 20 mm and 3 mm, the same reason as described above was obtained. And the content caused a problem with the joint. 4) From the above results, regardless of the type of the tacking method, when the width W of the tacked portion is between 4 and 14 mm, that is, the diameter of the concave bottom surface 2b of the main joining probe having the width W of the tacked portion. When the ratio with respect to D PB = 15 mm is 26 to 90%, it can be said that good permanent bonding is possible.

An experiment for viewing was performed, and the experimental results are shown in Table 2. Incidentally, professional case of performing tack friction stir welding - Bed, the diameter D PB of concave bottom 2b shown in FIG. 1 is 10 mm, the diameter d P of the stirring pin 3 were from 1.5 mm.

れる。The results of the experiment shown in Table 2 will be described below. 1) When the tacking was performed by TIG welding, when the length L of the tacked portion was 20 mm, the tacked portion was broken during the actual joining by the FSW, and a step was generated. As a result, burrs frequently occurred, and a tunnel-like defect was generated at the junction due to insufficient filling metal caused by the frequent occurrence of burrs. However, the length L of the tacked portion is 4
Good joints were obtained between 0 and 80 mm. 2) Similarly, when the tacking method is MIG welding or FSW, when the length L of the tacked portion is 20 mm, the same defect occurs as described above, but the length L of the tacked portion is between 30 and 50 mm. Then there was no problem. 3) From the above, regardless of the type of the tacking method, if the length L of the tacked portion is 30 mm or more, that is, the diameter D of the concave bottom surface 2b of the main joining probe having the length L of the tacked portion.
If the ratio with respect to PB = 15 mm is twice or more, it can be said that good permanent bonding is possible. However, even if the length L of the tacking portion is longer than necessary, it is meaningless and useless.
The length L of the temporary attachment portion is the concave bottom surface 2b of the final joining probe.
It is considered appropriate to set the diameter D PB to 2 to 5 times.

れ、上記のような効果がより大きなものになる。According to the friction stir welding method of the present invention, the following excellent effects can be obtained. That is, prior to this friction stir welding, the line to be joined of the members to be joined is
Temporarily attached by fusion welding such as MIG welding or TIG welding or friction stir welding (FSW), and the width W and length L of the temporarily attached portion are respectively set to the values of the probe used for friction stir welding in the main joining process. For the diameter D PB of the concave bottom surface,
If the friction stir welding is performed, the opening of the line to be welded due to the pushing of the stirring pin into the member to be welded or the upper surface of both members to be welded during the friction stir welding. In order to prevent the occurrence of a step, etc., it is only necessary to use a simple minimum holding jig without requiring a large and dedicated expensive holding device,
A large amount of labor and time are not required for setting and removing the members to be joined to and from the holding device. (2) Since the line to be welded during the friction stir welding can be reliably prevented from being opened, a step is generated, and a crack at a tacked portion, friction stir welding becomes impossible or difficult due to these. In addition to avoiding defects, it is possible to obtain good joint quality without generating defects such as burrs and tunnel-like defects due to insufficient filling metal, and temporary residue on the surface Becomes Furthermore, if the temporary joining is performed so that the position up to 200 mm from each of the starting end and the end of the friction stir welding of the main joining process is included in the temporary joining portion while observing the above conditions, the friction joining of the main joining process by the friction stir welding can be performed. The joining quality between the start and end portions is also kept good, and the above-described effects are further enhanced.
