Abstract:
1. A conductive member comprising: a first and a second conductive materials, at least one of which contains a conductive material having electrical resistance lower than aluminum; and a metal film formed by depositing powder including a metal, the powder being accelerated together with a gas and sprayed, in a solid state, onto a surface of a butting part, where the first and the second conductive materials are butted against each other, wherein another one of the first and the second conductive materials is aluminum or an aluminum alloy, wherein each of the first and the second conductive materials includes a cutout portion having a cutout shape in an end on a butting side, the metal film covers the cutout portion, the cutout portion has a tapered shape, which is inclined relative to each of principal surfaces of the first and the second conductive materials, and the cutout portion has an angle of inclination from zero to 45 degrees relative to each of the principal surfaces of the first and the second conductive materials.
