Abstract: A welded member includes: a first steel sheet including a base steel sheet and a zinc-based plating layer formed on a surface of the base steel sheet; and a second steel sheet spot-welded on the first steel sheet and facing the zinc-based plating layer of the first steel sheet, a spot-welded zone being formed between the first steel sheet and the second steel sheet. A surface layer of the base steel sheet has a decarburization ratio of 30% or more. The decarburization ratio is represented by equation: Decarburization ratio (%) of surface layer=(1−average carbon concentration in surface layer/bulk carbon concentration)*100 where the surface layer refers to a region of the base steel sheet from the surface thereof to a depth of 35 μm. A shoulder portion of the spot-welded zone includes a B-type crack having a length of 100 μm or less, and no C-type crack.
