FLASH BUTT WELDING MEMBER AND FLASH BUTT WELDING METHOD FOR PROVIDING WHEEL RIM WELD PART WITH EXCELLENT FORMABILITY

Abstract:

Provided are a flash butt welding member and a flash butt welding method for providing a wheel rim weld part with excellent formability. The flash butt welding member of the present invention satisfies that a weld part has a hardness of 220-270 Hv, and d<0.25T, when d is the closest distance between fine-grained heat affected zones (HAZ) formed at the left and right of the weld part while facing each other and T is the thickness of a weld base metal, and satisfies L/T>2, when the total length of an upset part constituting the weld part is L.
