- the probe 3 has a spiral groove portion 34 and a chamfered portion 35. Therefore, when the probe 3 is rotated around the first axis AX, the spiral groove part 34 and the chamfer part 35 move the softened material M formed from the workpiece W in the vertical direction and in the direction along the circumferential direction of the probe 3. It can be made to flow effectively. Due to the flow, the first material constituting the first workpiece W1 and the second material constituting the second workpiece W2 are well stirred, and the first workpiece W1 and the second workpiece W2 are firmly joined.
- an inclined surface 37 that continues to the chamfered portion 35 is formed on a part of the end surface 310 of the tip portion 31 of the probe 3. Since the inclined surface 37 is connected to the chamfered portion 35, the softened material M is smoothly guided from the chamfered portion 35 to the inclined surface 37 when the probe 3 is rotated around the first axis AX. Further, as the probe 3 is rotated around the first axis AX, the inclined surface 37 guides the softened material M guided from the chamfered portion 35 to the inclined surface 37 downward.
