Abstract
In a two-electrode welding method of the present invention, a leading electrode is used to perform gas-shielded arc welding and a trailing electrode is an energized filler. A trailing electrode wire protrudes from a guide lead or guide tip and is energized from an energizing tip. The distance between a welding surface and the energizing tip is 100 mm or more and 1500 mm or less. The distance between electrodes is 10 mm or less. The electric current of the leading electrode is 250 A or more, and the electric current of the trailing electrode is 10 A or more and 50% or less of the electric current of the leading electrode. The feeding speed of the trailing electrode wire is 20% or more and 50% or less of the feeding speed of the leading electrode wire.
