Provided is a friction point welding method and a friction point welding equipment, wherein the first metal member (W1) and the second metal member (W2) are joined by being pushed against the interposed member (65) by the rotating tool (11) in a state in which part of the surface of the second metal member (W2) corresponding to the joining portion (WS) contacts the contacting face of the interposed member (65) that has a larger area than the area of the tip of the rotating tool (11). The invention is capable of reliably performing the spot welding of first and second metal parts by reliably pressing the first and second metal members against an intermediate member without deflection by a rotary tool during the spot welding, and reliably receiving the second metal member by the intermediate member without peeling a metal-plating layer of the second metal member. |
