Abstract

A metal product capable of firmly combing a component of different materials with the metal to form a metal composite article includes a metal substrate. One or more surfaces of the metal substrate have a hole therein, the hole decreases in size towards an opening on the surface. A is the longest distance between any two points on a periphery of the opening. A plane of the opening is defined by the two points and a third point on the periphery of the opening. A periphery of an inner wall of the hole is defined on an intersection of the section plane and the inner wall of the hole. B is the longest distance between any two points on the periphery of the inner wall of the hole, and B is greater than A. The disclosure further provides a metal composite article and a method of manufacture.
