Abstract:
An object of the present invention is to enable sufficient welding of multiple metal wires in at least a portion of a conductive member that is constituted by multiple metal wires. The conductive member includes multiple metal wires each including a metal strand and a metal covering layer formed around the metal strand, and a joined portion in which the metal wires are joined by melting of alloy portions of the metal covering layers, the alloy portions including the metal that forms the metal strands. The joined portion can be formed by joining the metal wires to each other by performing heating at a temperature higher than the melting point of the alloy portions of the metal covering layers, the alloy portions including the metal that forms the metal strands.

Claim (Index 5):
A conductive member manufacturing method comprising:\n (a) preparing a group of a plurality of metal wires each including a metal strand and a metal covering layer formed around the metal strand; and (b) joining the plurality of metal wires to each other by performing heating at a temperature higher than a melting point of alloy portions of the metal covering layers, the alloy portions including a metal that forms the metal strands.
