Abstract
A method for welding a zinc coated steel sheet is provided. The method for welding a zinc coated steel sheet of the present invention is a method for welding a zinc coated steel sheet by using a welding material, wherein when welding, the welding current is 150-300 A, a shielding gas is a mixed gas of Ar+10-30% CO2, and the welding polarity is alternately altered so that the welding polarity fraction defined by relational equation 1 satisfies the range of 0.25-0.35.
Claims3
A lap-joint welding method of welding a first zinc coated steel sheet and a second zinc coated steel sheet stacked to partially overlap the first zinc coated steel sheet using a welding wire, to reduce a porosity defect of welded metal, comprising:
- welding, wherein the welded metal has a pore area ratio of 0.97% or less and have a tensile strength of 700 MPa or more,
- wherein a gap of a welded joint formed by the method is 0 mm,
- wherein the welding current is supplied as a bidirectional pulse current in which positive direct current and negative direct current are of equal and constant absolute value in a range from 200 A to 270 A, and
- wherein a welding polarity is alternately altered to satisfy a welding polarity fraction, in a range of 0.25 to 0.35, the welding polarity being defined by
- ENR,%/(EPR,%+ENR,%)
- where, ENR, % is a fraction of time for which current through the welding wire is negative direct current, and EPR, % is a fraction of time for which current through the welding wire is positive direct current.
