CRIMP TERMINAL PRODUCTION METHOD, CRIMP TERMINAL, AND WIRE HARNESS

摘要

The present disclosure provides a method for manufacturing a crimp terminal that enables high-quality laser welding on a workpiece by controlling the intensity and sweep rate of laser light to be radiated onto a weld portion to appropriate values. The present disclosure also provides the crimp terminal. By radiating and sweeping laser light on a workpiece that has a part where a metal plate material is bent into a tubular shape, and then laser-welding a brought-together portion where the end portions of the metal plate material in the bending direction of the part are brought together, to manufacture a crimp terminal in which the part serves as a crimp portion. A weld bead that is formed at the weld portion as a result of laser irradiation has a width of 80 µm to 390 µm, and preferably 172 µm to 273 µm.
