  • Publication number: 20220009022
    Abstract: A joining method of joins a main body and a cover, the main body being a flat plate and made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy and including a passage through which a medium for promoting heat exchange is circulated, and the cover being a flat plate and made of aluminum or an aluminum alloy and configured to cover the passage of the main body. The method includes: a covering step of covering the main body with the cover; and a diffusion bonding step of joining the main body and the cover by diffusion bonding under a condition in which a joining temperature is 500° C. or higher and 640° C. or lower, and a joining surface pressure is 0.7 MPa or higher. Each of a joining surface of the main body and a joining surface of the cover has a flatness of 0.2 or less.
