Abstract: The objective of the present invention is to provide a friction pressure welding method with which the welding temperature can be controlled accurately, the welding temperature can be lowered, and the distribution of the welding temperature at an interface to be welded can be made uniform; and to provide a welded structure obtained by this method. The present invention relates to the friction pressure welding method in which one member is abutted against another member and is made to slide in a state in which a welding pressure substantially perpendicular to the interface to be welded is applied, said friction pressure welding method being characterized in that the maximum sliding speed is no greater than 53 mm/sec, the difference in the temperature increase rate between a center portion and an outer peripheral portion at the interface to be welded is 10° C.

Abstract: To provide a solid phase welding method and a solid phase welding apparatus which are possible to accurately control the welding temperature, to lower the welding temperature and to achieve a solid phase welding of the metallic materials. The present invention provides a solid phase welding method for metallic materials comprising, a first step of forming an interface to be welded by abutting end portions of one material to be welded and the other material to be welded and applying a pressure in a direction substantially perpendicular to the interface to be welded, a second step of raising a temperature of the vicinity of the interface to be welded to a welding temperature by an external heating means, wherein the pressure is set to equal to or more than the yield strength of the one material to be welded and/or the other material to be welded at the welding temperature.
