Abstract

Provided is a friction stir spot welded joint having high joint strength even in the case where a high strength steel sheet, particularly a steel sheet with a tensile strength (TS) of 980 MPa or more, is used as a material to be welded. An annular groove is formed on an upper surface of an upper sheet out of overlapping steel sheets, and a shape, microstructure, and hardness of a welded portion are appropriately controlled simultaneously.
