The present invention relates generally to a joined structure of dissimilar metallic materials having different characteristics. More specifically, the invention relates to a joined structure of a current-carrying contact or arching contact which are used for, e.g., a power breaker, or a coating end structure of a metal base and a coating material for improving conductivity and heat resistance. It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a joined structure which enhances the impact strength of a joined member and which has a high reliability, in the joining of dissimilar metallic materials having different material characteristics. It is another object of the present invention to improve the impact strength of a coating member, which comprises a metal base and a coating material having a different material characteristic from that of the metal base, to provide a coating structure having a high reliability. According to one aspect of the present invention, there is provided a joined structure of dissimilar metallic materials, one of which is joined to the other metallic material having a smaller rigidity than that of said one of metallic materials, wherein both of angles of said one of metallic materials and said other metallic material to free edges of the respective metallic materials at an end portion of a joined surface between said metallic materials are smaller than 90 degrees. According to another aspect of the present invention, there is provided a joined structure of dissimilar metallic materials, one of which is joined to the other metallic material having a smaller rigidity than that of said one of metallic materials, wherein when one of angles of said one of metallic materials and said other metallic material to free edges of the respective metallic materials at an end portion of a joined surface between said metallic materials is 90 degrees, the other of the angles of said one of metallic materials and said other metallic material to the free edges of the respective metallic materials at the end portion of the joined surface is smaller than 90 degrees. |
