Abstract: A battery terminal includes a shaft portion and a flange portion. The battery terminal is made of a clad material in which at least a first metal layer and a second metal layer are bonded to each other. Each of the shaft portion and the flange portion includes the first metal layer on a first side in a shaft direction and the second metal layer on a second side in the shaft direction. The first metal layer in the shaft portion includes a protruding portion that further protrudes to the second side in the shaft direction with respect to a surface of the first metal layer on the second side in the shaft direction in the flange portion.

Abstract: A cylindrical joining member is fitted into a member to be joined that is made of a material different from the joining member. Plastic deformation is effected in a soft material of the member to be joined to hermetically join the two members together. Joining faces are provided to the two members that face and are joined to each other by the plastic deformation and with an elastic deformation pressure in an axial direction. The soft material of the member to be joined, which is located in a circumferential direction of the member, bites into a joining portion of the joining member by the plastic deformation and with the elastic deformation pressure.
