Abstract

A highly reliable joined structure and joining method by suppressing peeling at joined portions in the joined structure formed by joining metals together is provided. A joined structure includes a plurality of metals laminated and joined together. The plurality of metals are shaped to include a plurality of convex portions arranged on a surface positioned in a lamination direction, and flat portions arranged between the plural convex portions. Tip ends of the plurality of convex portions are formed as curved surfaces.

Claims (11)

1. A joined structure comprising a plurality of metals laminated and joined together,

wherein the plurality of metals are shaped to include a plurality of convex portions arranged on a surface positioned in a lamination direction, and a plurality of flat portions arranged between the plurality of convex portions,

wherein tip ends of the plurality of convex portions are formed as curved surfaces, and

wherein each of the plurality of convex portions is formed of a lamination of a plurality of pieces of metal foil.

2. The joined structure according to claim 1 , wherein parts of the plurality of convex portions located closer to the flat portions than to the tip ends are formed as flat surfaces.

3. The joined structure according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of pieces of metal foil contained in the tip ends of the plurality of convex portions are not joined together.

4. A joined structure comprising a plurality of metals laminated and joined together,

wherein the plurality of metals are shaped to include a plurality of convex portions arranged on a surface positioned in a lamination direction, and a plurality of flat portions arranged between the plurality of convex portions,

wherein tip ends of the plurality of convex portions are formed as curved surfaces, and

wherein, when a surface passing a position of a height obtained by dividing an average value of heights of the plurality of convex portions with respect to the flat portions by two as well as parallel to the flat portions is set as a reference surface, cross-sectional areas of first ones of the plurality of convex portions positioned at ends of the joined structure are larger than cross-sectional areas of second ones of the plurality of convex portions positioned in a center of the joined structure in the plurality of convex portions on a cross section of the reference surface.

5. The joined structure according to claim 4 , wherein respective cross-sectional areas of the plurality of convex portions are gradually increased from the center of the joined structure to the ends of the joined structure on the cross section of the reference surface.
