Abstract

This welded structure member includes a base metal member including a first surface and a second surface; a joined metal member including an abutting surface of which an end surface abuts onto the first surface; a weld bead which is formed on the first surface; and a weld overlay section which is formed on the second surface of the base metal member, in which the weld bead includes a weld bead end section in a position which is separated to the front of the abutting end section.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A welded structure member, comprising:
a base metal member including a first surface and a second surface;
a joined metal member including an abutting surface of which an end surface abuts onto the first surface;
a weld bead which is formed on the first surface, and joins the joined metal member to the base metal member; and
a weld overlay section which is formed on the second surface of the base metal member, and is formed into a shape of a line such that the weld overlay section overlaps at least one of the abutting surface and the weld bead, in the view of facing the second surface and of penetrating through the base metal member,
wherein when a direction from an abutting end section which is an end section of the abutting surface towards a direction in which the abutting surface exists is set to the rear, and the opposite direction thereof is set to the front, the weld bead includes a weld bead end section in a position which is separated to the front of the abutting end section.

2. The welded structure member according to claim 1 ,
wherein the weld overlay section is disposed over a position which is separated from the abutting end section to the rear by 1.9 mm to 7.0 mm, in the view of facing the second surface and of penetrating through the base metal member.

3. The welded structure member according to claim 2 ,
wherein a front end of the weld overlay section is positioned from the abutting end section to the front, and a rear end of the weld overlay section is positioned from the abutting end section to the rear, in the view of facing the second surface and of penetrating through the base metal member.

4. The welded structure member according to claim 2 ,
wherein the weld overlay section is parallel to the abutting surface, in the view of facing the second surface and of penetrating through the base metal member.

5. The welded structure member according to claim 2 , wherein a separation distance Lw between the abutting end section and the weld bead end section, and a plate thickness T of the base metal member are such that:
−0.125 Lw+ 4.06 mm≤ T≤ 4.5 mm.

6. The welded structure member according to claim 2 ,
wherein a length of the weld overlay section is greater than or equal to 10.0 mm.

7. The welded structure member according to claim 1 ,
wherein the weld overlay section is disposed over a position which is separated from the weld bead end section to the rear by 0.1 mm to 3.0 mm, in the view of facing the second surface and of penetrating through the base metal member.

8. The welded structure member according to claim 7 ,
wherein a front end of the weld overlay section is positioned from the weld bead end section to the front, and a rear end of the weld overlay section is positioned from the weld bead end section to the rear, in the view of facing the second surface and of penetrating through the base metal member.

9. The welded structure member according to claim 7 ,
wherein the weld overlay section is parallel to the weld bead, in the view of facing the second surface and of penetrating through the base metal member.

10. The welded structure member according to claim 7 , wherein a separation distance Lw between the abutting end section and the weld bead end section, and a plate thickness T of the base metal member are such that:
0.8 mm≤ T≤− 0.125 Lw+ 4.06 mm.

11. The welded structure member according to claim 7 ,
wherein a length of the weld overlay section is greater than or equal to 6.0 mm.

12. The welded structure member according to claim 1 ,
wherein a height of the weld overlay section from the second surface is 2.0 mm to 20.0 mm.

13. The welded structure member according to claim 1 ,
wherein the weld overlay section is a weld overlay bead which is not involved in the joint between the base metal member and the other member.

14. The welded structure member according to claim 1 ,
wherein the weld overlay section is formed to enter the base metal member.

15. The welded structure member according to claim 1 ,
wherein the weld bead does not penetrate through the base metal member.

16. The welded structure member according to claim 1 ,
wherein the base metal member is a steel sheet having a tensile strength of greater than or equal to 270 MPa.

17. A method of manufacturing the welded structure member according to claim 1 , the method comprising:
a weld bead applying step of applying a weld bead which joins the first surface of the base metal member to the end surface of the joined metal member by the abutting surface; and
a weld overlay section applying step of applying the weld overlay section onto the second surface of the base metal member by arc welding or brazing, before the weld bead applying step or after the weld bead applying step.
