    摘要: A friction stir welding tool member including: a shoulder portion; and a probe portion. A helical concavo-convex portion including a ridge and a valley is provided on a side peripheral surface of the probe portion. In a cross-section passing through a rotation axis of the probe portion, a differential rate of areas of valley parts adjacent along an axis parallel to the rotation axis out of the valley is within a range of 5% or more and 30% or less. A difference between pitches of ridge parts adjacent along the axis parallel to the rotation axis out of the ridge is preferably within a range of 0.01 mm or more and 0.2 mm or less. A difference between depths of valley parts adjacent along the axis parallel to the rotation axis out of the valley is preferably within a range of 0.01 mm or more and 0.1 mm or less.
