The total area of the exposed parts 3a of the material of lower conductivity than that of the base metal for electrode is in the range of 40-82% of the surface area of the tip part of the electrode 1. The exposed parts 3a of the material 3 of lower conductivity than that of the base metal for electrode surround the base metal 2 for electrode, and the respective parts 3a of the surrounded base metal 3 for electrode are arranged so as to be independent from each other. Alternatively, the line-shaped, fiber-shaped or particle-shaped material 3 of lower conductivity than that of the base metal for electrode is diffused inside the electrode 11 so as to be exposed at a number of parts in the island manner on the surface of the tip part 14 of the electrode. The electrode 1 for resistance welding is the electrode on the positive side when the resistance welding is executed by DC current, while being both electrodes when the resistance welding is executed by AC current.

2. Description of the Related Art When welding a metal plate, a portion of the metal plate to be welded is superposed and inserted between a pair of electrodes provided facing each other in a welding device, and the electrode is attached to the portion. A resistance welding method is known in which electric power is supplied in a pressure-contacted state to heat the portion by the resistance of the metal plate and to weld the portion. Conventionally, an electrode used for resistance welding of a relatively soft material such as a metal plate made of aluminum, magnesium or an alloy thereof should be prevented from being deformed or cracked around the welded part of the member to be welded (metal plate). The one whose tip is molded into a convex spherical surface is used.

However, when resistance welding of a metal plate made of aluminum, magnesium or an alloy thereof is performed using the conventional electrode, the electrode is partially overheated and the molten metal plate is fused to this part. Or, conversely, the electrodes are damaged, which makes it difficult to use the electrodes continuously for a long period of time.

The existence of an oxide film on the surface of the metal plate is considered as a reason for causing the inconvenience when welding the metal plate made of aluminum, magnesium or an alloy thereof using the conventional electrode. The oxide film is a non-uniform film formed by naturally oxidizing the surface of the metal plate in the air and acts as an insulator.

According to the theory that the cause of the inconvenience lies in the oxide film, when the electrode is pressed against the metal plate on which the oxide film is formed, the nonuniform oxide film is fragile. It is considered that a crack is generated in the portion marked by the pressure of the electrode, and the welding current is supplied to the metal plate from this portion, so that the welding current is concentrated in the crack and the portion is overheated.

Therefore, an electrode has been proposed in which the shape of the surface of the resistance welding electrode in contact with the member to be welded is processed so that the oxide film can be destroyed. For example, in Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 58-159986, a groove having a triangular or trapezoidal cross section is formed on a surface of an electrode that abuts a member to be welded in a concentric or spiral shape including a plurality of annular grooves in a plan view. Resistance welding electrodes have been proposed. In the electrode described in the above publication, the top portion of the portion sandwiched between the grooves forms an annular or spiral ridge in plan view with an acute angle. In addition, the present inventors have already proposed a resistance welding electrode in which a plurality of protrusions are formed at the tip of the electrode independently of each other and whose tip is thinner than the base (JP-A-4-33).

According to such a resistance welding electrode, when the electrode is pressed against the metal plate for welding, the oxide film is destroyed in the entire portion where the electrode abuts, so that the metal is spread over a wide range. It is possible to directly contact the unoxidized part of the plate, and by supplying the electric current from this contact part, the local concentration of the electric current is eliminated, so that the above-mentioned overheating can be avoided.

However, when the resistance welding electrode disclosed in each of the above publications is used, the shape of the electrode tip is transferred to the welding site to form a welding mark (tool mark), which impairs the appearance quality. There is an inconvenience that stress concentration is likely to occur in a portion, which may cause sudden fracture or fatigue fracture. Further, when plating, painting, etc. are performed after welding, there is a disadvantage that the portion where the tool mark is formed tends to be uneven due to unevenness due to the tool mark.
