A tin coating is, for example, considered as a lead-free solder coating for a terminal attached to an electrochemical cell, but has presented a problem, as whiskers are likely to occur from the tin coating when the terminal is attached to the cell by laser welding. The formation of whiskers is due to the heat of laser welding and can be restrained by optimizing an undercoat layer of nickel or a nickel alloy.
