For spot-welding a plurality of metal workpieces, the metal workpieces are gripped and pressed under a pressing force by a pair of electrode tips, thereby forming a contact interface between the metal workpieces. Then, an electric current is passed between the electrode tips, and it is determined whether the contact interface is melted or not. Simultaneously when it is judged that the contact interface is melted, the pressing force applied from the electrode tips to the metal workpieces is reduced to such a level that the electrode tips and the metal workpieces are kept in contact with each other, the metal workpieces are kept in contact with each other, and the electric current keeps flowing between the electrode tips.
