Abstract
The present invention relates to a method for joining a plated steel sheet, in which at least one of a first steel sheet and a second steel sheet is a plated steel sheet, and the first and second steel sheets overlapped with each other are subjected to an arc spot welding. The method includes press-working the first steel sheet into a desired shape and at the same time forming a linear groove on an overlapping surface with the second steel sheet of the first steel sheet, overlapping the first and second steel sheets, and setting a welding torch with the groove as a target position, and performing the arc spot welding so as to overlap the groove when viewed from a direction perpendicular to the overlapping surface.
