WELDING METHOD AND WELDING TERMINAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a welding method and a welding terminal for preventing an electric wire from breaking through the release of a residual stress when the wire is vibrated. SOLUTION: This welding method includes the steps of: preparing a welding terminal having a welding terminal body 4 formed with a through-hole opened to a first and second end faces and a sleeve 3 projecting from the first end face and with an introducing hole in communication with the through-hole; inserting a conductor 2 from the opened end of the second end face to near the opened end of the communicative hole of the sleeve 3; plastically deforming around the opened end of the sleeve 3 and making the sleeve 3 hold the conductor 2; and welding the conductor 2 and the welding terminal to base material by thermit welding of deposited metal so as to store at least the sleeve and the proximity to the first end face of the welding terminal body 4. The welding terminal is composed of the welding terminal body 4 formed with the through-hole opened to two end faces and the two or more sleeves 3 projecting from the end face and having the introducing hole in communication with the through-hole.
