An arc welding method includes welding a steel sheet while alternately switching feeding of a welding wire between forward feeding and backward feeding. The welding wire contains, in mass % with respect to a total mass to the welding wire, C: more than 0 and 0.30 or less, Si: 0.01 to 0.30, Mn: 0.5 to 2.5, S: 0.001 to 0.020, Ti: 0.05 to 0.30, and optional elements with the remainder being Fe and unavoidable impurities, and a value obtained by 2×[Ti]/[Si]−50×[S] is more than 1.0. The welding is performed by using a shielding gas containing CO2 gas in an amount of 80 vol. % or more with respect to a total volume of the shielding gas at a frequency of 40 Hz or more and 200 Hz or less, where one cycle for determining the frequency is one forward feeding and one backward feeding.
