- the hollow arm 16 is lighter than the conventional hollow arm, the weight of the welding gun 10 itself is reduced. That is, since the inertia weight of the welding gun 10 is small, the operability in moving is excellent. In addition, since the hollow arm 16 has high rigidity, the welding gun 10 can stably hold the fixed electrode 12 so as to face (facing) the movable electrode 14.
- the hollow arm 16 does not require a thickness for forming a tapped hole in the wall of the arm body 17 as compared with the related art using a fastening member (for example, JP-A-2016-132031), the wall of the arm body 17 is not required. Can be made thinner, and further weight reduction can be achieved.

- the friction stir welding requires less heat input than welding welding, so that distortion due to molding is less likely to occur, and the arm of the hollow arm 16 of the welding gun 10 that requires shape accuracy and weight reduction for holding the electrodes is required. It is most suitable for fixing the main body 17 and the cover 19.
- the arm body 17 has a base plate portion 17c that forms the first side wall 16w1 of the first side wall 16w1 and the second side wall 16w2 of the hollow arm 16 that face each other.
- the arm main body 17 further has a peripheral wall plate portion 17d that protrudes from the peripheral edge portion of the base plate portion 17c in the thickness direction of the base plate portion 17c and extends along the peripheral edge portion of the base plate portion 17c.

- the opening end face 17b of the arm body 17 and the peripheral edge 19a of the cover 19 are fixed by the friction stir welding portion 30.
- friction stirring is performed in a state where the peripheral edge 19 a of the cover 19 is placed on the step 21 a 1 of the main body member 21 (the material before being formed into the shape of the arm main body 17). Since the joining can be performed, the arm main body 17 and the cover 19 can be easily friction stir welded.
- the open end face 17b of the arm body 17 and the peripheral edge 19a of the cover 19 are fixed by a friction stir welding portion 30 over the entire circumference.

- the welding gun 10 including the lighter and more rigid hollow arm 16 can be realized.
- Welding gun 10 has housing 24 as a gripper gripped by a welding robot. Accordingly, a large arm force is not required for the movable arm of the welding robot, so that there is no need to use a large welding robot.
- the method of manufacturing the hollow arm 16 holding the movable electrode 14 is a step of providing a metal main body member 21 having a hollow portion 21a as shown in FIGS. 4A and 5B.
