Patent number: 5550347Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of reducing an amount of welding deformation in the case where steel plates to be welded are butted and subjected to tack-welding and then the tack-welded portion is subjected to one side welding for joining the plates.In the present invention, not less than 3 welding electrodes are used and a welding condition is determined so that the parameter P shown by the expression of ##EQU1## can be a predetermined value. In this case, Qi is the heat input of each electrode determined by a current, voltage and speed, and Li is a distance from the first electrode to each electrode, and H is the maximum value of the height of a tack-welded bead, wherein the height H is made to be a value not more than half of the wall thickness of the steel plates to be welded.Type: GrantFiled: October 28, 1994Date of Patent: August 27, 1996Assignees: Nippon Steel Corporation, Hitachi Zosen CorporationInventors: Tadashi Kasuya, Koichi Shinada, Yukihiko Horii, Tateo Miyazaki
