Abstract
A resistance spot welding method including: a pulsation process of clamping a sheet assembly of two or more overlapped steel sheets including at least one high tensile steel sheet using a pair of welding electrodes that are connected to a spot welding power source employing an inverter direct current method, and performing plural repetitions of current passing and current pass stopping, while pressing the steel sheets with the welding electrodes; and a continuous current pass process in which, after the pulsation process, current is passed continuously for a longer period of time than a maximum current pass time of the pulsation process, while pressing the steel sheets with the welding electrodes.
