Abstract

Provided is an electrical steel strip friction stir welding method that is able to inhibit the occurrence of coil joint fractures on a production line caused by deterioration of mechanical properties and shape of the coil joint while maintaining high work efficiency and that is also advantageous in terms of rotating tool durability. In the method, preheated double-sided friction stir welding is performed, diameter D (mm) of shoulders of rotating tools satisfies the relationship of the following Expression (7), and rotation speed RS (r/min) of the rotating tools, the diameter D (mm) of shoulders of the rotating tools, and joining speed JS (mm/min), expressed as RS×D/JS, satisfy the relationship of the following Expression (8), 4×TJ≤D≤10×TJ . . . (7), and 180×TJ≤RS×D/JS≤1500×TJ . . . (8).
