The invention provides an electro-plastic friction stir spot welding device, which comprises a stir sleeve, a stir needle in the stir sleeve, a clamping sleeve clamped outside the stir sleeve, and a welding cushion block, wherein two radial opening grooves are formed in the bottom of the clamping sleeve and the top of the welding cushion block respectively; electric brushes are mounted in the grooves; and the grooves are matched with the conductive blocks in the electric brushes in shape. The invention further provides an electro-plastic friction stir spot welding method, which comprises the steps of carrying out plastic softening on a metal material, communicating the two electric brushes with a direct current independently and respectively while compacting a welding workpiece by the clamping sleeve, enabling the polarities of the two electric brushes on the same horizontal plane to be opposite and the polarities of the two electric brushes on the same vertical plane to be the same, connecting a welding circuit, and finishing the welding operation by adopting a spot welding process. According to the invention, a high-density current is applied to the metal deformation direction by utilizing the electro-plastic effect of the metal material, so that the metal dislocation is promoted, the motion defect is overcome, the plastic flow capability of the metal material is improved, and the welding quality is improved.
