Proposed is a method of resistance spot welding to join a plurality of overlapping metal sheets, including: dividing a current pattern into two or more steps for welding; before actual welding, performing test welding to store, for each step as a target value, a time variation of an instantaneous amount of heat generated per unit volume and a cumulative amount of heat generated per unit volume that are calculated from an electrical property between electrodes when forming an appropriate nugget by passing current with constant current control; and subsequently, as actual welding, starting welding using, as a standard, a time variation curve of the instantaneous amount of heat generated per unit volume obtained by the test welding, and when a time variation amount of an instantaneous amount of heat generated deviates during any step from the time variation curve by a difference, performing adaptive control welding to control a current passage amount in order to compensate for the difference during a remaining welding time in the step so as to match a cumulative amount of heat generated in the actual welding to the cumulative amount of heat generated that is determined in advance in the test welding. This method thus effectively addresses wear of the electrode tip and the presence of a disturbance and obtains a good nugget. |
