Abstract: A gas shielded arc welding method includes welding a steel sheet with a tensile strength of 780 MPa or more using a shielding gas containing Ar in an amount of 92 vol. % to 99.5 vol. %. In the gas shielded arc welding method, a value calculated from the following expression (1) is 0.20 or more: {?v/(D/2)2}×10?{(100?CAr)×I/v}×0.1 . . . (1), where CAr represents an Ar content (vol. %) in the shielding gas, D represents an inner diameter (mm) of a nozzle from which the shielding gas is supplied, v represents a welding speed (cm/min), and I represents a welding current (A).
