Abstract

Provided is a resistance spot welding method which is capable of efficiently generating the largest possible nugget while suppressing the occurrence of spattering. This resistance spot welding method involves overlaying two or more steel plates which have a plating layer having zinc as a principal component thereof or have an Al-Si plating layer, sandwiching the two or more steel plates between a pair of electrodes, and joining the adjacent steel plates to one another by fusing the same by performing a pre-conduction between the pair of electrodes, and thereafter, performing the main conduction. This resistance spot welding method involves performing the pre-conduction in a manner such that the maximum current value is the welding current value when starting the pre-conduction, and a conduction pattern is used in which the current value sequentially decreases in a step-wise manner from the maximum value as time passes during the conduction interval starting from when conduction starts.

Abstract

In this fuel injection valve, a single virtual circle (C) is set centered on an axis (Y) of a valve hole (7) on the inner surface of a nozzle plate (10), and a boundary surface (B) is set that passes through the axis (Y) and divides the single virtual circle (C) into one virtual half circle (Ca) and the other virtual half circle (Cb). A first fuel injection hole group (50A), which is formed by a plurality of fuel injection holes (51, 52, 53) that have inlets open in the one virtual half circle (Ca), and a second fuel injection hole group (50B), which is formed by a plurality of fuel injection holes that have inlets open in the other virtual half circle (Cb), are provided to the nozzle plate (10). Hole axes (51a, 52a, 53a) of all of the fuel injection holes are slanted so as to be further away from the axis (Y) while extending from the inlet side to an outlet side, and a taper angle (θ) that makes the outlet radius larger than the inlet radius, is applied to all of the fuel injection holes (51, 52, 53). Consequently, the formation of deposits on the nozzle plate can be prevented and a stable fuel injection performance of the fuel injection holes can be maintained.
