Abstract
The resistance welding method of welding two objects together includes the steps of: clamping the objects between a pair of electrodes; and applying a current between the electrodes while the objects are pressed to bring them close to each other to allow a contacting surface between them to generate heat. One object includes a core member and a plated layer coating the core member and having a melting point lower than that of a metal constituting an outer surface of the core member. The objects are clamped between the electrodes and the contacting surface are allowed to generate heat to melt the plated layer to weld the outer surface of the core member of the one object and a base member of another object together. At least the outer surface of the core member and the base member are made of respective metals, between which no intermetallic compound is formed.
