An object of this invention is to provide such a welded structure of and 
welding method for two metallic parts fitted together at a tubular section in a high-pressure 
fuel supply pump, that enables rapid joining of both metallic parts by 
staking (press-fitting included), screw fastening, and / or 
laser welding, offers high 
welding strength and sufficient fluid sealability, and keeps the 
metallic materials free from thermal changes in composition. While an 
electric current is supplied to any one of the welding connection surfaces formed between a pump housing and cylinder in a high-pressure 
fuel supply pump, between the pump housing and an installation 
flange, between the pump housing and an intake or 
discharge joint, between the pump housing and a pulsation-absorbing 
damper cover, between the pump housing and a 
relief valve mechanism, and between the pump housing and an electromagnetically driven intake valve mechanism, the particular two sections are pressed against each other to generate, along the connection surface, a plastic flow not causing melting or fusion due to heat, and form a 
diffusion-weld region at the connection surface by using the plastic flow and the application of the pressure.
