Abstract

The joining method includes a step of lapping the aluminum alloy plate and the plated steel plate via adhesive, a pre-heating step of clamping both metal plates lapped in the lapping step between a pair of electrodes for spot welding and applying pressure thereto, and applying a current between the pair of electrodes, a cooling step of pressurizing both metal plates at a pressing force higher than that at the start of the pre-heating step in a state where conduction between the electrodes is stopped, and continuing this pressurization over a predetermined cooling time, and a welding step of pressurizing both metal plates at a pressing force higher than that at the start of the pre-heating step, and welding both of the metal plates by applying a current higher than the conduction current value in the pre-heating step between the pair of electrodes.
