An arc welding apparatus welds a bracket held by a welding head to a pipe by arc welding. A hollow tubular member is provided in the bracket, which tubular member is formed in a hollow conical shape or funnel, so that the diameter thereof increases from the bracket to an open mouth therein. The open mouth of the tubular member of the bracket held by the welding head is pulled up from a condition of being in contact with the pipe, an electric arc is generated between the mouth of the tubular member and the pipe to effect melting, and the open mouth is pressed against the pipe, whereupon the bracket is welded to the pipe.
