Abstract

A welding method includes: disposing a workpiece formed by stacking a plurality of metal foils in an area to be irradiated with laser light that contains a plurality of beams; irradiating a surface of the workpiece with the beams of the laser light by dispersing positions of the beams such that centers of the beams do not overlap with each other within a prescribed area on the surface; melting an irradiated part of the workpiece and performing welding; and setting each of the beams to have a power density with which no hole opens in the metal foils, and setting the power density of the beams and dispersing irradiating positions to be emitted so as to form a weld pool penetrating the workpiece by the beams.
