産業素材 980MPa級鋼板用摩擦攪拌接合ツール Development of a Friction Spot Joining Tool for 980-MPa Tensile Strength Steels Joining ＊ 宮崎　博香 内海　慶春 津田　圭一 Hiroka Miyazaki Yoshiharu Utsumi Keiichi Tsuda 近年自動車メーカーではCO 排出量削減に向けた車体軽量化及び、衝突安全性の向上のため、引張強度980MPa以上の超高張力鋼板 2 の適用を拡大している。しかし、超高張力鋼板は鋼板中に炭素が多く含まれるため、現行の抵抗スポット溶接では十分な接合強度を得 にくいという問題がある。一方、摩擦攪拌接合は、接合用ツールを用いて摩擦熱により被接合材同士を軟化、塑性流動させる固相接合 技術であり、炭素量の多い超高張力鋼板でも高い接合強度が期待できる。摩擦攪拌接合はアルミ接合では既に実用化しているが、鋼接 合ではツール寿命が短いため実用化していない。我々は、耐欠損性、耐塑性変形性、耐熱亀裂性を兼ね備えた超硬合金母材、硬度、耐 酸化性に優れたPVDコーティング、高い接合強度を維持できるツール形状をそれぞれ開発、またツール摩耗を抑制するための接合条 件を見出し、超高張力鋼板接合用ツールの長寿命化(～7000打点)に成功した。 Car manufacturers have been increasing the use of ultra-high tensile strength steels with strengths exceeding 980 MPa. This is to improve collision safety and reduce vehicle weight, thereby reducing CO2 emissions. Due to their high carbon content, these steels cannot achieve sufficient joining strength when joined using the current resistance spot welding technology. To achieve high joining strength in high-carbon content steels, we focused on the friction spot joining (FSJ) method, a solid-phase joining method that employs the frictional heat of the joining tool to soften and ultimately join the sheets through a plastic flow process. FSJ has already been commercialized for the joining of aluminum sheets, but its poor tool life has prevented its application to steel sheet joining. To make the FSJ method practical in steel joining, we developed a cemented carbide tool base material with good resistance to breakage, plastic deformation and thermal cracking, a PVD coating that provides hardness and oxidation resistance, as well as a tool geometry that maintains joining strength. We also det
