Abstract:
The present invention seeks to provide a technology that is capable of crimping a terminal adequately to a portion where a plurality of metal strands are welded. A conductive member is configured by a plurality of coated metal wires provided with a plurality of metal strands and with an electrically conductive sheath covering a circumference of each of the plurality of metal strands. The conductive member includes a welded portion, in which at least a portion in an extension direction of the plurality of coated metal wires is welded, and the welded portion includes an outer layer that is formed on an outer circumference side by welding the plurality of coated metal wires together, and at least a portion of the plurality of coated metal wires on an inner side of the outer layer is capable of untwining due to crimping a terminal.

Claim (Index 6):
A method of manufacturing a conductive member comprising:\n heating from an outer circumference side a welded portion formation region, which is a region on an extension direction portion of a conductive member configured by a plurality of coated metal wires provided with a plurality of metal strands and with an electrically conductive sheath covering a circumference of each of the plurality of metal strands, at a temperature higher than the melting point of the sheaths and lower than the melting point of the metal strands, and pressing the heated welded portion formation region from the outer circumference side toward a center.
